The family of a businesswoman murdered in a park have said her killer should never have been let into the UK.
Slovakian national Marek Harcar, 33, who had previous convictions for violence, was convicted last week of abducting, raping and killing sales adviser Moira Jones, 40, in Glasgow and given a minimum of 25 years in jail.
Ms Jones's brother Grant told the Daily Record newspaper it was too easy for dangerous criminals to enter Britain.
He said: "Having been in Australia for 17 years, a foreign national wishing to work in Australia must be of good character.
"Whereas a foreign national wishing to work in the UK may have 13 previous convictions, some of which may be violent."
Harcar was jailed for life for the crime in Queens Park last May after being found guilty at the city's High Court.
Mr Jones gave up his life and career in Australia to return to the UK to care for his parents.
Ms Jones's mother Beatrice said it was not her daughter who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Rather, it was Harcar with his violent past that should not have been there.
"He was in the wrong place. He should never have been anywhere where there were decent people," Mrs Jones said.
