THE unanswered questions surrounding the tragic death of Annie Borjesson have haunted her family for over a decade.
Police ruled the 30-year-old Swede, who had been living in Edinburgh, had taken her own life when her body was found on a beach 80 miles away in Prestwick on December 4, 2005.

On the day her body was found by a dog walker under a sea wall, she had been due to fly home from Prestwick Airport to Tibro in western Sweden for Christmas.
The day before she had made a call to her hairdresser booking an appointment for the following week, and Annie had also paid the next month's rent on her flat.

Annie's best friend Maria Jansson, who was preparing to host her during her trip, is convinced Annie's death was not suicide, and that she was "murdered".
Her family, who took photos of the bruising, believe she was beaten and drowned, with her body then placed on the beach to look like suicide.
Hazel also questions why Annie would travel to a beach 80 miles away from her home, where the water in the bay is so shallow you have to walk out half a mile to reach a depth where you can no longer stand, to end her life.
