The mother of murdered teenager Paige Doherty has named her baby girl after her late daughter.

Pamela Munro gave birth to Penny Margaret Paige, named in memory of her oldest child.

Penny was born just a few weeks after the anniversary of when the 15-year-old schoolgirl was murdered by John Lethem.

Friends of Paige shared their joy at the birth of Penny, saying how good a big sister the teen would have been.

One said: "Beautiful wee Penny your big sister would be so proud of u x."

Another added: "Paige would be thinking she was the mum xxx."

Earlier this year, Ms Munro spoke about her pregnancy, calling it "a positive thing for us to focus on".

But the mother of five insisted that the new baby was not "a replacement" for her murdered daughter.
