UK UK - Alistair Wilson, 30, murdered at home, Nairn, Scotland, 28 Nov 2004

None of this means the killing was job related (either directly or indirectly) but I would not rule it out either just as I would not rule out that something else in his private life triggered the killing.

I agree.
Something triggered the killing -- which might have been something the killer had imagined, and that made sense to him but not necessarily to anyone else including AW (if for example the killer was mentally unwell and reacting to a scenario that existed purely in his mind).
AW had just left his job so perhaps that was a trigger in some way.
The police suggested this might be a row over AW's objection to decking which some have dismissed as surely too trivial, but people have all sorts of triggers depending on their histories, state of mind, mental health. People do get very upset over matters that might seem trivial to others.
Basically we have no idea what happened. It's such a baffling case. Hopefully the case review will produce some real leads and get further with this. It must be agony for VW and her kids.

I do find it odd they won't hold a meeting out of courtesy if nothing else.

This case is most frustrating, I understand at the time not releasing details, as they would potentially evidence guilt upon interviewing. We are now many years on and it’s unsolved, the police may have clues that are currently withheld that may trigger a memory. They almost have to make a decision- perhaps release the information which may provide the families with a reason, but not be able to convict due to lack of evidence, or continue to do nothing and achieve nothing. Local knowledge and information is waning due to the passing of time- I know my parents lived there at the time and had very strong rational suspicions at the time, but when I talk to them now they have long left the area and can’t recollect much. This was a village where most people knew something that combined may have helped, it was remote, not an overly large place where people socialised together and went to the local pubs frequently and gossiped- but this moment and information has long gone sadly.
