AUDIO: John Buckley's statement in full on the murder of his daughter Karen in Glasgow
"We will never again see Karen's smiling face, we'll never hear her laugh or her voice - and there are no words to describe our loss"
The man who says he killed North Cork nursing student Karen Buckley could get a minimum 30 years in prison.
Alexander Pacteau will be sentenced on September 8th after pleading guilty at Glasgow High Court murdering the 24 year old.
The Judge in the case told the 21 year old that the murder was a "motiveless, senseless, brutal attack."
The family of Karen Buckley say they hope her killer will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Her father John bravely spoke to reporters outside the court in Glasgow - this is his statement in full
