Police have admitted that vital evidence into the murder of a dogwalker ‘may have been lost’ after the crime scene was not locked down for days after his body was discovered.
The body of 65-year-old Brian Low was discovered alongside his black Labrador at around 8.30am on Saturday February 17 in the Pitillie area on the outskirts of Aberfeldy.
Mr Low’s death was initially assessed as being “non-suspicious and medical-related” but it was confirmed six days later that he had been fatally shot.
A medical examination on Wednesday February 21 established Mr Low had injuries consistent with being fatally shot, at which point officers were deployed to the scene.
