Craig Walker was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow.
An ex-hockey internationalist who murdered a woman his wife suspected he was having an affair with has been jailed for life.
The ex-Scotland and Great Britain hockey player denied murder insisting the mum was hurt during a “frantic struggle”. "Lauren Wilson was a much-loved daughter, step daughter, sister and mother who had a group of loyal friends."The consequences of what you did are devastating for her family and young daughter."She is old enough to have memories of her mother, but much too young to understand what has happened.
The court heard from Lauren's mum Pauline Wilson, 61, who stated that she became "frightened" after she did not pick up her daughter on the day of her death. Pauline said: "I knew it was important as she wouldn't leave her daughter without arrangements like a packed lunch or uniform.A selection of text messages between the pair were read to the court.
They had split in 2020 but discussed reconciling and were due to go out for an anniversary meal on the night of the murder.The witness thought this "strange". She quizzed her husband about her and he claimed to have known Lauren "from years ago".
