The widow of a murdered banker seeks answers from Scotland’s First Minister after years of frustration with the police investigation.
Nairn: It’s been a long time since that tragic day when Alistair Wilson was shot on his doorstep. His widow, Veronica, is still searching for answers. Recently, she and her son Andrew met with Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Veronica expressed her gratitude for the meeting, saying it was a chance to raise important issues about the case. She feels let down by Police Scotland, especially since Chief Constable Jo Farrell has refused to meet with them. That’s just plain frustrating for the family.
Andrew, who was just a little kid when his dad was killed, shared his feelings too. He’s grown up with this unsolved case hanging over him, and it’s been tough. He echoed his mom’s sentiments about wanting to hear directly from the police about the investigation.
Assistant Chief Constable Steve Johnson mentioned in a letter that it’s not appropriate for the Chief Constable to meet with the family right now. He insists that the focus should be on completing the reinvestigation. But many, including local MSP Douglas Ross, think it’s time for Jo Farrell to step up and meet with the Wilsons.
It’s a tough situation, and the family just wants closure. They hope that this meeting with the First Minister will help push things forward. It’s been too long, and they deserve some answers.
