THE sister of a Glasgow woman murdered more than 20 years ago has paid emotional tribute on the day the killer was jailed.

As we reported earlier, takeaway owner Zhi Min Chen - who strangled Tracey Wylde  and evaded justice for more than two decades ago - was jailed for at least 20 years.

He was arrested last year by police investigating the death of  21-year-old Tracey who was found dead in her in Barmulloch flat in November 1997.

Chen pleaded guilty at the High Court in Glasgow in April and, on Friday, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years.

The victim's emotional sister later spoke of an “absolutely beautiful” Tracey – but branded Chen's 20 year jail-term “a slap in the face”.

Bernadette McCash said after the hearing: “We do not feel it is enough time. As a family, we are really disappointed.

“He hid for longer. I was 12 when she got murdered. I missed out on things sisters do like shopping, try make up or go to the pictures.

“We totally miss her. It is heartbreaking.”

Asked did she feel the family got “justice”, Bernadette replied: “Personally, no.”

Detective Inspector Gordon MacKenzie added: “It’s a real shame Tracey’s mother, Fay, who died a couple of years ago, is not here to see her daughter’s killer held accountable.

“The conclusion of this case sends an important message regarding Police Scotland’s commitment to unresolved murders.

“These cases will always be a key priority and our specialist detectives will continue to use the latest advances in technology and any new information which comes to light to provide answers for the families of victims and bring their killers to justice.”
