A killer has been urged to 'do the decent thing' and reveal where missing Paisley woman Patricia Henry's body is to allow her family to give her a proper burial and mourn.
George Metcalff murdered the 46-year-old, known as Patti, at her flat in Girvan, South Ayrshire, on November 13, 2017.
Her body has never been discovered despite extensive searches in the Girvan area.
Metcalff faces a life sentence after he was found guilty yesterday of murdering, raping, physically and indecently assaulting Patti after a 10-day trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

Following his conviction, Police Scotland praised Patricia's family for their determination to find her and called on Metcalff to tell them where her body is.
Detective Superintendent Suzanne Chow, Major Crime, Police Scotland said: “George Metcalff’s conviction brings to an end his 50-year reign of abuse against women which culminated in his murder of Patricia Henry.
"The bravery and willingness to speak out after so many years about their own or their loved ones experiences at Metcalff’s hands has resulted in his conviction not only for what he did to his partners but also for Patricia’s murder.
“Throughout the investigation and trial Patricia’s family have conducted themselves with dignity and determination to find Patricia.
“It is now up to George Metcalff to do the decent thing, to tell us where Patricia’s body is and to allow her family to give her a proper burial and to mourn.”
