A handyman went on trial in Scotland today, accused of murdering schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton more than 17 years ago.

The remains of the 15-year-old from Redding, near Falkirk, were found buried at a house in Margate last November.

Vicky disappeared after waiting for a bus in Bathgate, West Lothian, in February 1991, sparking one of the biggest missing persons investigations in Scottish history.

Peter Tobin, 62, denies murder.
