Caroline Muirhead felt pressured into taking part in the BBC documentary and blames it on her being unable to take the witness stand.
BBC Scotland has been urged to investigate its role in a murder trial which was abandoned when the key witness fled over the pressure of appearing in a documentary.
After it emerged she was left too ill to give evidence, the murder charges against twins Alexander and Robert McKellar were downgraded to lesser charges at the High Court in Glasgow in July. “She further claims that she felt unable to testify due to this pressure and that this, in turn, may have caused the Crown Office to strike a plea deal with the two men accused of murder, instead of putting them on trial, resulting in a downgrading of the charges, which they admitted to.
