British Murders Unsolved | Episode 7: Alistair Wilson (Nairn, Scottish Highlands, 2004)
In November 2004, a quiet evening in the Highland town of Nairn was shattered by an act of sudden and shocking violence. A young father was gunned down on his own doorstep in front of his wife, and the case would go on to become one of the most baffling unsolved murders in modern Scottish history.The victim was 30-year-old Alistair Wilson - a well-liked local man with a promising career and seemingly no enemies. But as detectives dug deeper into the case, questions began to pile up. Why had a man come to the house asking for him by name?
