A man who has been charged in connection with death of Hamilton teenager Amber Gibson.

Amber's 19-year-old brother Connor Gibson - who was arrested on Wednesday night - has now been charged.

He is due to appear at Hamilton Sheriff Court on Friday.

Amber Gibson left her home in the Hillhouse area of Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, at around 9.15pm on Friday and was reported missing later that night when she did not return.

Her body was discovered in Cadzow Glen park at around 10.10am on Sunday.

Ann Marie Cocozza is from Families Against Murder and Suicide and said: "When a young woman is killed in this way, I think it can affect anyone.

"Seeking support is crucial, particularly for young adults, because the emotional trauma they will be going through right now will be hard to comprehend."

If you have been affected then you can call FAMS on 07736 326 062.
