Accused of murdering his 16-year-old sister in a sexual attack, the first picture is released of the 20-year-old brother.
Connor Gibson, also known as Niven, is standing trial for the murder of his 16-year-old sister, Amber Gibson. The prosecutor in the case spoke in closing remarks, describing it as a “tragedy” that Amber’s last face was her brother’s. Evidence of DNA from Connor on Amber’s body and clothing, as well as CCTV footage of them entering the park, has been presented in court.

The prosecutor also pointed to Stephen Corrigan, 45, who is standing trial alongside Connor. Corrigan is accused of finding Amber’s body between the dates of her death and the discovery of her body, and instead of alerting police, committing “sordid acts” on her body. Corrigan’s DNA was found on 39 areas of Amber’s body, leaving the prosecutor with no other explanation than that Corrigan had committed those acts.

In defense of Connor, Tony Graham KC argued that the jury had not been given a definitive time of Amber’s death, asking “Can you convict someone of murder when you don’t know when the person dies?” He conceded that Connor had assaulted Amber, but that there was no evidence of contact with the neck. He asked for the jury to convict Connor of assaulting Amber, and delete all other allegations other than “inflict blunt trauma to her head.”

Both Connor and Corrigan deny the charges against them. The trial continues.
