Two people have been found guilty of murdering a woman who went missing nearly two decades ago.
Margaret Fleming has not been seen since 1999, and was reported missing in 2016.
Avril Jones, 58 and Edward Cairney, 77 have now been found guilty of the 19-year-old's murder at their home in Inverkip.

They have been on trial at the High Court in Glasgow for the last seven weeks, and jurors took just three and a half hours to reach a majority verdict on all charges.
The pair have been warned they could face life sentences when they return to court in July, and have been remanded in custody until then.
Detective Superintendent Paul Livingstone, Senior Investigating Officer, said: "Margaret was a very vulnerable young woman who was manipulated, abused, neglected and ultimately murdered by the two people who should have been looking after her.
"Margaret was just a young woman when she was murdered. Who knows what she could have gone on to achieve in her life if it hadn’t been ended so prematurely at the evil and greedy hands of Cairney and Jones."

The couple denied murdering her by 'unknown means' between December 18 1999 and January 5 2000 at their home in Inverkip, Inverclyde, or elsewhere in Scotland.
Jones also denied a charge of fraudulently claiming £182,000 in benefits by pretending that Ms Fleming – who was reported missing in October 2016 – was alive.
