It was the start of a normal weekend for 15-year-old Paige Doherty.

She finished school on Friday, March 18, and stayed the night at a friend's house in Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire.

Paige got up early the next morning to make her way to her Saturday job at a hairdressers around 12 miles away.

She left at around 8.15am for the short walk to the bus which would take her to work.

While heading to the bus stop, Paige walked into Delicious Deli. The deli was owned by 32-year-old John Leathem, who lived near the Whitecrook premises.

Paige would never walk out the shop again.

Later that day Paige was reported missing to police after failing to turn up for work that morning.

Officers launched a major search throughout the area and appealed to the public for help.

Two days later a missing person's inquiry quickly turned into a major murder investigation.

The teenager's body had been dumped in bin bags in bushes near the Goals Sports Centre just off Great Western Road in her home town.

Officers began tracing Paige's movements between 8.20am on Saturday when she set foot inside Leathem's sandwich shop and the discovery of her body at 1pm on Monday, March 20.

CCTV cameras captured her walking into the deli shop. When the father-of-two later pleaded guilty to the murder, police said only he knew what happened next.

Detective superintendent Duncan Sloan said the popular teenager's life had been "brutally cut short by the vicious actions of one man".

Paige, who was planning to become a hairdresser, suffered more than 146 knife injuries, 61 of which were major stab wounds. It was branded "a savage, frenzied attack on a child" by Lady Rae.

Leathem spent days trying to cover up his crime. He left his young victim's body in the shop, pulled down the shutters and went to a nearby store to buy anti-bacterial wipes and bleach.

CCTV footage captured Leathem carrying Paige's body from the back of his shop to his car in bin bags, her foot protruding from the bag.

The killer then stored the body in a shed at his home before disposing of it on the Monday morning prior to opening his shop.

The deli then remained open for business with Leathem fully engaged in preparing food and serving customers until 3.15pm that day.

Two days after the schoolgirl's body was found, detectives from Police Scotland's major investigations team detained Leathem. The following day he was arrested in connection with her murder.

The deli owner claimed Paige had come to his shop to ask for a job before they went into the back office where she was to give him her details.

He then claimed the youngster threatened to tell people he had "touched" her if she did not get a job at the shop.

Leathem's lawyer called it "an overreaction" when his client pleaded guilty to murder at the High Court in Glasgow last month.

A victim impact statement previously shared in court revealed how Paige's mother Pamela Munro now suffers nightmares and wakes hearing Paige's screams.

The post-mortem examination confirmed the family's "worst fears" of the "terror" the schoolgirl experienced in her final moments.

The death of Paige led to an outpouring of grief in her local town.

Friends and family members left tributes to her at the site where her body was found, while 600 mourners attended her funeral at St Margaret's Catholic Church in the town where her mother Ms Munro described her as her "best friend".

One of the senior officers investigating the murder described Paige as a "vibrant, bright young daughter" whose "whole future lay ahead of her".

In August, Ms Munro told STV News she was launching a charity in memory of her daughter, which would provide self defence classes for children.

She said at the time: "I've put all my energy into that, rather than think of the worst. I've just tried to bring something positive out of what's happened to our daughter.

"And that's kind of helped me come through it."
