A man who raped a teenager five months before she was murdered by her brother has been sentenced to 10 and a half years behind bars.
Starrs was found guilty of raping the teenager following a separate trial at the High Court in Lanark in July.Judge Thomas Welsh KC handed Starrs an extended sentence comprising 10 and a half years in custody and two years of supervision upon release at the High Court in Edinburgh on Tuesday. He said that he would have ordered 11 years to be served in custody but reduced this to 10 and a half years behind bars to take into account the time that Starrs has spent on remand.
Mr Meehan said: “He has a traumatic background from a young age which perhaps gives some degree of explanation.”
