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

I don't know why this video has the heading "The Truth". A strong claim for a case that remains unsolved.

If it was a "hit" on account of a loan, how can this ever be proven? Although professor Wilson says the police should employ a forensic accountant, it is said that the police have examined every loan AW was involved with. If an accountant looks at bank files, those files would not tell him what was going on in the businesses to whom the loans were made. or in the personal lives of business people applying for loans. There would also be loan applications that were refused.

The professor dismisses the possibility of a local person. I don't believe that everyone in Nairn knows everyone else in Nairn. The person could live near to Nairn and have been sure that the Wilson family did not know him. He seems to have been quite nondescript too. He could have been on drugs and been careless. Who knows?

I agree, it's a very arrogant claim.

Probably because they're beating a dead horse: police have ruled out any connection with his bank job...

IMO, police know a lot more about crime than any criminology prof. The prof learns from police, not vice-versa. Police have solved crimes that include hitmen, that's why he even knows about hitmen.

So IMO, LE and the bank - who cares passionately about any risk that bank employees might commit fraud - would have been all over this angle from the beginning, exhaustively, until they could completely rule it out.

It's a shame the likes of Wilson don't partake in forums like these. We all know in this case that whatever theory is put forward none of them really work on the information currently available. I don’t rule out a hitman and it being linked to Alastairs work. But there are many questions that remain unanswered and it would useful if those could be put to Wilson and see how he deals them within his particular theory.

Why would someone kill Alistair in connection with his work? Cartels and mafia type organisations kill people who cross them as a matter of principle, but does anyone else? If someone thought Alistair had failed to get them a loan, or something like that, there would be no point in killing him, unless the person was very vindictive. If Alistair knew something, that could also be a reason: to silence him. Of course, there are some people around who are just crazy...........
