The man who shot Nairn banker Alistair Wilson may have been younger than previously thought.
He added: "Someone out there knows what happened to Alistair and I hope this appeal today serves as a vital reminder that it is never too late to come forward with information.Last week, Police Scotland said major investigation team officers had travelled to Nova Scotia to carry out witness interviews.Mr Wilson was shot at about 19:00 after his wife Veronica answered the door to his killer - a stocky man wearing a baseball cap - who asked for Alistair Wilson.
Mr Wilson, who had been reading his sons a bedtime story, went to the door to speak to the man and was handed an empty blue envelope with the word Paul written on it. He was then shot with a German-made handgun. The weapon was later found in a nearby drain by a council road sweeper. A massive police inquiry was launched at the time, but no-one has been apprehended and detectives continue to investigate the case.Police have taken thousands of statements since the start of the investigation.
The early months of the inquiry involved a plea to people in Nairn and the surrounding area to voluntarily give DNA samples.The Haenel Suhl pocket pistol is from the 1930s and police believe the weapon was likely to have been taken to the UK after World War Two as some form of souvenir.
