Jamieleigh Craig, died on 22nd December 2016, aged 20, after their own dad, James Elder, 45, raped her.

She is now expecting a little girl with her partner, Michael, 29, due in April 2023 and says their baby has given her "purpose" and a "reason to be here".
Chloe, from Glasgow, said: "I believe that if my dad hadn't come back into my life all my family would still be here.
"I believe my mum died of a broken heart. After losing Jamieleigh she went into a really deep depression.
"She was there in body but not in her mind. I carried the coffin of both my mum and my sister.
"I'm now 22 weeks pregnant and have my purpose again. Christmas is a hard time but I need to get used to living with my new family unit.
"I have a Christmas tree up for the first time in two years. I hope my mum and sister would be proud of me.
"I think what my mum and sister would think before I make any decision."
