Review Into Unsolved Murder Of Alistair Wilson
Detectives probing the unsolved murder of Nairn banker Alistair Wilson say they will be carrying out a fresh review into the case.
Ten years ago this week the 30 year old father-of-two was gunned down on his doorstep.
Despite extensive inquiries police have yet to identify his killer.
Under the new procedures introduced by Police Scotland, the case is the subject to a homicide governance review, which is looking at previous investigation strands to ascertain if all possible lines of inquiry have been thoroughly exhausted.
Detective Chief Superintendent Gary Flannigan, of the Specialist Crime Division Major Investigation Team, has overseen the strategic review.
He said: "Ten years on from his death, Alistair’s murder remains unsolved. Police Scotland is determined to ensure that every possible avenue has been explored in our continued efforts to find answers for Alistair’s family and friends and to bring whoever was involved in his murder to justice.
"Over the course of a decade, detectives have worked tirelessly using a wide range of methodologies, seeking expert help from throughout the UK and considering advances in forensic science all in an effort to help detect this highly unusual crime.
"We will continue to appeal to anyone who has information to come forward. Despite media appeals throughout the past ten years at times appropriate to our investigative strategy, playing an important part in helping us generate information, no new critical information has emerged at this time. While the information coming to us has slowed down, I know that someone somewhere knows exactly how and why Alistair was shot. Unsolved homicides are never closed; they remain open in the hope that the vital piece of evidence surfaces to help bring the investigation to a conclusion.
"Somebody out there knows something or perhaps suspects they know why Alistair was murdered. It’s not too late to come forward, and for the sake of Alistair’s family I’d appeal to you to pick up the phone.
