Renewed appeal one year after pensioner’s death

Police investigating the murder of a pensioner have again appealed for information almost one year after his death.

Brian McKandie, 67, was attacked at his home in Rothienorman, Aberdeenshire, on March 11 2016 and was found dead the following day.

As part of the ongoing investigation, officers have been revisiting customers and acquaintances of the selfemployed mechanic and began searches of road verges.

Officers have spoken to hundreds of people and undertaken one of the biggest forensic investigations in Police Scotland history but have yet to identify the culprit.
