On the evening of Sunday, November 28, 2004, Alistair was upstairs reading bedtime stories to his sons when, at about 7pm, the doorbell rang. They bought their home on Crescent Road in 2002, embarking on a life familiar to most parents of young children - one punctuated by visits to soft-play centres, football in the garden and a round of golf for Alistair when he could find the time. The couple settled in Nairn when Alistair was made business banking manager of the Inverness branch, responsible for securing the custom of small-to-medium-sized companies across the north of Scotland. 'He was one of those people you met and just knew,' she recalled. The couple were engaged within six weeks of meeting - and in a rare interview with the BBC in 2018, Veronica spoke of how happy she had been to meet her 'genuine' and 'honest' husband. His first work posting was to Fort William, where he met graphic designer Veronica MacDonald. School CCTV footage shows youngster Andrew Wilson, four, as he is told his father is dead 'While we cannot rule out any scenario, we believe this could be significant to our enquiries and I am asking anyone with information about this issue to please come forward and speak with officers,' he said. It comes in the unlikely form of a retrospective planning application, lodged by the hotel opposite Alistair's home, for a large outdoor decking area within the car park.Īlistair had registered an objection only days before he died, on the basis that the decking had led to increased noise and litter in the area - an intervention known about at the time but which Detective Superintendent Graham Mackie, from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team, last week called 'significant'. Last week, however, it emerged that an intriguing new development may be inching police closer to solving the mystery. Yet 18 years on, there has been no arrest and Alistair's death remains one of Scotland's biggest unsolved murders. No detail of the lives of Alistair and his wife Veronica went uninvestigated. Who was 'Paul'? And was he linked to a Northern Ireland paramilitary gunman under the protection of the British Government, who would later become the focus of the police investigation? Alistair and Veronica Wilson celebrate their wedding.
