FRESH appeals for information about the murder of Beith-born banker Alistair Wilson were launched this week – as the unsolved killing approaches its ten year anniversary.

Independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers is also renewing its offer of a reward of up to £5,000 for information leading to conviction.

Mr Wilson, 30, was shot at his home in Crescent Road, Nairn, on Sunday, 28 November, 2004.

At 7.10pm his German-born wife Veronica opened the door to a stocky man, aged 35-40, wearing a dark jacket and baseball cap, who asked for her husband by name.

Mr Wilson spoke to the visitor and went back inside to speak to his wife before returning to the door, where he was shot. He later died in hospital.

Crimestoppers is offering the reward of up to £5,000 for information passed to the charity’s anonymous 0800 555 111 number that leads to an arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for this crime.

Crimestoppers’ Scotland National Manager, Angela Parker, said: “This crime is now approaching its ten year anniversary.

“We would ask that anyone who thinks they may have information relating to this, no matter how small, should come forward and finally help Alistair’s family obtain the answers they seek.

“All information passed to Crimestoppers is kept anonymous, a guarantee that has never been broken, so no-one need be in fear of their identity being revealed.” If you have any information on this incident please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through our Anonymous Online Form at http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
