6. That Could Be Anybody

In an unusual step – the prosecution call David’s wife to give evidence. She’s asked to explain some of David’s bizarre behaviour. But will her testimony help, or hinder his case?

The partner of the accused is rarely called by the prosecution. But today – we hear evidence from David’s wife of more than 57 years. She’s asked about his relationship with the victim, Brian Low.

And she’s quizzed about the CCTV showing a bike similar to hers being ridden through Aberfeldy. Does she agree that the rider could be her husband?

Later in the episode we learn how David’s football allegiance could raise questions about the blue bag apparently being carried by the killer. And we hear from some expert witnesses who might be able to pin-point the time of death. Will this new evidence change the whole complexion of the case?

Inside Murder Trial is hosted by Jane MacSorley, with expert analysis from Tommy Ross KC. The series is a Firecrest Films production for BBC Scotland.
