Much the same info from the BBC: New investigation ordered into 'doorstep murder' of Alistair Wilson

If they had his actual name and likeness... what kind of alibi did he produce, for them to rule him out I wonder? Was Helen Puttock's sister never asked if she could identify him? It's mind boggling that he was allowed to slip away if he truly was responsible for at least some of the murders...

It's really tragic. I'm wondering how he killed himself and how it's known that the bullying was the reason he killed himself. Did he leave a message?

Very Sad. "...found curled under a tree as if sheltering from the winter weather". https://www.strathspey-herald.co.uk/news/aviemore-body-believed-to-be-rodrigo-falcon-349130/

I'm a bit confused about the idea of a 4 year old describing a 14 year old as a "wee lassie". I'd have thought that, at the time, she'd have been a "big girl" to him. But I suppose he might have been parroting the words of the older ones. Or maybe he just wanted to sound big himself... It must...

Seems it was reported at the time: A four-year-old boy told detectives he witnessed an alleged murder victim being attacked and then saw her "in the water". The High Court in Glasgow heard Archie Wilson was interviewed by officers investigating the murder of Caroline Glachan...The jury at the...

It's not much of a shortcut really- I guess he did it for the fun/challenge. I wonder what the other things that were found were. I'm wondering if he tied a few branches together to make a small raft to put the rucksack on? So he'd swim pushing the rucksack? I'm glad they've some idea what has...

This is still unresolved. The official cause of death was ruled as asphixiation due to overcrowding, but this was not put in writing and is disputed by eyewitness accounts. Other reports have blamed fumes from a gas pipe/generator and that the toxicology report found methanol in the bodies...

The whole thing sounds like a total nightmare for her and I'd guess the police were more tough with her because of her job, but it sounds like they were expecting way too much and not offering any support whatsoever. I think it's understandable that she panicked when she heard about the filming...

How she found out... “I said if we were going to be together and be a team, he needed to tell me what was wrong and I’d support him. “He started having a panic attack. He was gasping and started wailing. Then he told me what he’d done… something that he’d got away with for years.”...

It was a "hit and run" accident (and return, but that's by and by). A "third party" was killed. It should be possible to claim on the vehicle policy whoever owns the car or paid for the insurance, I'd have thought. But the car was reported to be "his brother's" so I'm going with that. As the...

Yes, hopefully the Parson's will have had legal protection included on their driving policy. I once claimed as a passenger in a taxi, when a car slammed into the taxi, claiming directly from the car driver's insurance. A MacK was driving his brother's car so he should be covered for 3rd party...

Some fuller details in this report regarding the injuries inflicted during the collision and the likely cause of death- rib injuries and possible collapsed lung and effect on breathing. Also on what was said on the night via a text to AMcK's then partner (not the one who later left the red bull...

Looks like they're accepting that Mr Parsons was killed in the collision https://news.stv.tv/west-central/tony-parsons-twin-guilty-of-killing-charity-cyclist-and-covering-it-up-with-brother ETA Sorry, they're still saying he was left to die. That's murder surely? Knowing Mr Parsons was then...

It seems they both have pled guilty to the charges. But I wonder about the bit between the collision and the burial. That's the potentially most heinous part.

Looks like it hasn't quite started yet Twin brothers accused of murdering a charity cyclist are set to go on trial at the High Court in Glasgow. https://news.stv.tv/west-central/twin-brothers-to-stand-trial-accused-of-murdering-charity-cyclist-tony-parsons

It might be to protect the identity of witnesses. Or something's happened, as you say.

I think they've restricted reporting if my understanding of this page from the Scots Courts website is correct: Members of the press should note that among the items to be published will be Orders made by courts imposing restrictions on the reporting of court proceedings..... Court Orders...

So he left the car at his destination and got a lift to the start of his walk. Quite normal to do. Do we know if he hitched or was dropped off by someone he knew? ETA It was said earlier that he often turned off his phone when hiking to save battery etc.
