Police Scotland Criticized Over Handling of Nairn Murder Case

Family of Alistair Wilson, murdered in 2004, voices frustration with Chief Constable Jo Farrell's response to reinvestigation.

  • Douglas Ross raised the Wilson family's concerns at First Minister's Questions, calling Chief Constable Jo Farrell's response 'callous.'
  • First Minister John Swinney expressed deep concern over the unsolved murder but emphasized the independence of police operations.
  • Alistair Wilson was shot on his doorstep in November 2004, and his killer has never been found.
  • The Lord Advocate ordered a complete reinvestigation of the case last week, appointing a new senior investigating officer.
  • The Wilson family claims they have been 'kept in the dark' about developments and are disappointed by Farrell's lack of immediate plans to meet with them.
