McGowan, 28, had been behind bars at the start of November on remand for charges including dangerous driving during a police pursuit.

Jurors heard McGowan breached that curfew the night before her death, and was still out, intoxicated, in the company of Claire, in Stirling city centre at 9pm when he should have been indoors.
