Amber’s heartbroken foster parents said her murder “could have been prevented”
A probe into the care tragic Amber Gibson received from authorities before she was brutally murdered by her brother is expected to deliver its findings in a matter of weeks.
Now, an independent review of the teen’s death ordered by local authority chiefs is moving to its final stages, with witnesses in the criminal case set to be interviewed in a bid to determine if lessons can be learned from the tragedy. “In this case, after Amber’s death the Care Inspectorate and the Chair of the Child Protection Committee were informed. The CPC acted to establish an independent review under an extremely experienced independent expert in the field. They have already carried out most of the work involved and will now be able to conclude the review, including interviewing people who were witnesses in the criminal case.
At the time of her murder, Amber had been living at Hamilton-based Hillhouse children’s unit, while Connor was a resident at Hamilton’s Blue Triangle project, a hostel for homeless youngsters. The teenager’s body was later found by vile Stephen Corrigan who inappropriately touched her and tried to conceal the teen under branches near a burn.
