Victim's sister 'quizzed accused'

The trial of a handyman accused of murdering Angelika Kluk in Glasgow has heard how the Polish student's sister quizzed him over her disappearance.

The meeting came as Ms Kluk's sister Aneta and the victim's married lover Martin Macaskill searched for her.

Peter Tobin, 60, has denied charges of raping and murdering Angelika, 23, and trying to hide her body at a church.

Aneta, 28, was giving evidence at the High Court in Edinburgh on the second day of the trial.

The court heard how she went, with Mr Macaskill, to St Patrick's Church in Anderston where her sister had been staying in the attached chapel house.

They found Angelika's purse, return ticket to Poland and a last diary entry on her laptop computer, expressing her love for Mr Macaskill.

The church handyman, who said his name was Pat McLaughlin, was "smiling and helpful" when police arrived on the scene later, the trial heard.

However, Aneta said priest Father Gerry Nugent did not lift a finger to help.
