The 2004 murder of Alistair Wilson, 30, in the Scottish Highlands remains unsolved. A new team of Crown Office prosecutors and Police Scotland officers will work on the reinvestigation.
Police Scotland's chief constable has said the force remains 'absolutely committed' to solving the murder of a banker who was fatally shot on his doorstep nearly two decades ago. Dad-of-two Alistair Wilson, 30, was shot in the Scottish Highlands in November 2004. To this day, his killer has never been caught. Scotland's top law officer, Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC, last week announced a new team of police officers and prosecutors would work on a full reinvestigation.
He died later in hospital. He had been reading bedtime stories to his two young sons after their evening bath when a man knocked on their front door. When Mr Wilson's wife Veronica answered, the killer asked for his victim by name. A blue envelope, which had the name Paul on it, was handed to Mr Wilson on the doorstep. Mr Wilson went inside briefly, but when he returned to the door he was shot. To date, no one has ever been charged with Mr Wilson's murder.
