Angelika contempt case to proceed

Contempt of court action will be taken later this year against a Sunday newspaper over a story it ran shortly before the Angelika Kluk murder trial.

Associated Newspapers - publishers of the Mail on Sunday - are alleged to have potentially prejudiced the trial in its front page story of 4 February.

Editor Christopher Williams and Allan Caldwell, the freelance reporter who wrote the story, also face charges.

They deny any wrong doing. No date has been fixed for the contempt hearing.

The newspaper had revealed details of a brief alleged affair between Polish student Ms Kluk and Father Gerry Nugent, 63, the parish priest at the St Patrick's church in Anderston, Glasgow, where she was murdered and hidden under the floorboards.

Father Nugent was asked about the newspaper revelations during the murder trial.
