A former academic who beat his scientist ex-wife to death almost 45 years ago has dropped plans to appeal against his conviction and sentence
.
Harrisson instructed his legal team to challenge both his conviction and sentence and an "imitation of intention to appeal" was lodged at the High Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh. He was given a deadline of June 6 to file papers setting out the grounds of his appeal but did not submit anything meaning it is deemed abandoned.
A minute flake of paint found on Dr Page's bedroom window - which had been forced open - was matched to the paint on Harrisson's Mini Traveller car. DNA samples taken from Dr Page's flat were examined using modern forensic techniques. Dr Page sustained multiple head injuries after being repeatedly struck with a blunt implement at her home of Allan Street, Aberdeen. Earlier this year, Dr Page's sister Rita Ling, 88, said Harrisson was prolonging her family's agony by planning to appeal.
