Karen Buckley: Man to appear in court in connection with student’s death

A man is to appear in court today in connection with the death of student Karen Buckley.

An extensive search took place earlier this week after the 24-year-old failed to return flat in Glasgow from a night out with friends on Sunday.

Her body was discovered at High Craigton Farm on the north-western outskirts of the city.

A 21-year-old man will appear at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court later today.

A vigil will be held in George Square at 5pm in support of Miss Buckley’s, who was from Cork in the Irish Republic, family who have said they are heartbroken.

Her father John Buckley, 62, described her as an outgoing girl who “thoroughly enjoyed life”.

He added: “Karen was our only daughter, cherished by her family and loved by her friends.

“She was an outgoing girl who travelled the world, where she met lots of people and thoroughly enjoyed her life.

“We will miss her terribly.”

More than £50,000 has been raised to support the Buckley family in an online drive organised by her former classmates at Limerick University.

The 24-hour appeal closed last night after reaching £50,001 – ten times the initial target of £5,000.

The Go Fund Me page was set up to cover the family’s travel and expenses while in Scotland and to support the upkeep of their farm in Cork.
