Christopher McGowan claimed his girlfriend had fallen down the stairs when she suffered 76 injuries at his hands.
An evil murderer who killed his partner in a brutal attack in Stirling has been labelled "beyond sadistic" by a judge as he was sentenced to serve a minimum of 23 years for the crime.
Passing sentence, judge O’Grady said: “I further have to take into account your attitude towards the appalling crime you have committed. “It is that dishonesty which is the true measure of your remorse. As for the tears you shed at interview, I have no doubt they were shed for none but yourself. A pathologist found she had "at least" 76 separate injuries, including bleeding inside her skull, extensive injuries to her neck, two black eyes, and "petechial haemorrhaging", a tell-tale sign of strangulation.
“The consequences for Claire are self-evident. Her life is ended in pain and terror at the age of 28. “I have in particular mind the Victim Impact Statement of her young son who now spends each day lonely, bereft and bewildered, unable to make sense of why he must grow up without his mother."
