A 21-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Irish student Karen Buckley.
Alexander Pacteau is also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
He made no plea during a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.
A major police search was launched when 24-year-old Miss Buckley vanished after a night out in Glasgow last weekend.
Her body was found at High Craigton Farm on the north-western outskirts of the city following a four-day search.
A Crown Office spokesman said: “Alexander Pacteau, 21, from Glasgow, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with the murder of Karen Buckley, and with attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
“He made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.
“It is anticipated he will appear again next week for a further hearing.”
