The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow, the Most Rev Mario Conti, has apologised after a convicted sex offender was jailed for life on Friday for the murder and rape of Polish student Angelika Kluk.

The jury at the High Court in Edinburgh took just three-and-a-half hours to convict handyman Peter Tobin, 60, of killing the 23-year-old student and hiding her body in St Patrick's Catholic Church in Glasgow last September.

Tobin, a handyman at the church, savagely beat, raped and stabbed Ms Kluk to death before dumping her body beneath the church floorboards. Ms Kluk had been living in the chapel house and working as a cleaner to save money for her studies in Gdansk, Poland, when the attack happened.
