Alexander McKellar returned with his brother to take Tony Parsons' body and buried him with an excavator in a peat bog where animal carcasses were disposed of
A drink-driver who admitted killing a charity cyclist by hitting him and abandoning him by the side of the road has been jailed for 12 years. Alexander McKellar, 31, caused the death of 63-year-old Tony Parsons by hitting him with his car on the A82 near Bridge of Orchy, Argyll and Bute, on September 29 2017.
Members of Mr Parsons’s family, including his widow Margaret and children Mike and Victoria, were in court for the sentencing. McKellar admitted driving on the A82 at “excess speed and when unfit through alcohol”. Advocate depute Alex Prentice KC told the court that McKellar had said to the woman that he had been “distracted” by headlights and struck something on the side of the A82, which turned out to be Mr Parsons. The woman left a can of Red Bull in the area where Mr Parsons’s body had been hidden and detectives later found the scene.
