Irishman Patrick Rae was today found guilty of raping and murdering Dundee mum-of-three Mary McLaren.
The 41-year-old, who was living in Arbroath, was sentenced to life in prison and told he will spend a minimum of 20 years in jail at the High Court in Edinburgh.
The jury delivered its guilty verdict after just over three hours of deliberations following the end of the month-long trial.
Rae met his 34-year-old victim in a Dundee nightclub before raping and strangling her.
Her body was later found on an embankment in Dundee city centre.
