A large police search was launched for Miss Buckley, 24, when she was reported missing after a night out in Glasgow on April 12.

Her body was found at a farm north of the city four days later and Alexander Pacteau was arrested and charged with her murder.

Ms Buckley moved to Scotland in February and was studying occupational therapy at Glasgow Caledonian University.

Her case touched many people in both Scotland and Ireland, with a number of memorial services held in her honour.

Around 300 people attended a vigil in Glasgow’s George Square earlier this month, including Ms Buckley’s parents John and Marian.

Flowers, candles, cards and messages were laid out in the square as a piper played and a minute’s silence was held.
