Scotland Orders Fresh Investigation into 2004 Alistair Wilson Murder

Top law officer Dorothy Bain KC hopes new cold-case probe will bring justice for the family of the slain banker.

Alistair Wilson, a 30-year-old banker, was fatally shot on his doorstep in Nairn, Highlands, in November 2004.
Despite extensive efforts over the years, the killer has never been found, prompting a new investigation.
Lord Advocate Dorothy Bain KC has ordered a complete reinvestigation involving new teams from the Crown Office and Police Scotland.
Wilson's family has long sought answers, and his son Andrew, who was four at the time, has publicly expressed the family's ongoing pain and need for justice.
Key details include a blue envelope with 'Paul' written on it, handed to Wilson before he was shot, and a handgun found in a nearby drain 10 days later.
