**Former Gamekeeper Convicted of Murder in Highland Perthshire**
David Campbell, aged 77, a former gamekeeper, has been found guilty of murdering Brian Low, a retired groundsman, on a remote country path in Highland Perthshire, Scotland. The incident took place on Leafy Lane, Aberfeldy, in February 2024.
– Brian Low, 65, was found dead on 17 February 2024 with his dog Millie by his side.
– Initially, police treated Low’s death as non-suspicious because first responders believed he had suffered a medical event or a fall.
– A forensic post-mortem examination revealed that Low had been shot with pellets—about 30 injuries—coming from a distance of 19 to 45 meters.
– Shotgun cartridges matching those of the pellets were found at Campbell’s house, though the actual murder weapon has not been recovered.
– Campbell disabled a CCTV camera at his home prior to the murder, suggesting premeditation.
– Police conducted a large investigation over three months, interviewing 800 witnesses and reviewing 2,400 hours of CCTV footage.
– Campbell was arrested on 24 May 2024 near his home in Aberfeldy.
– Known locally for a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality, Campbell had worked with Brian Low for nearly 20 years.
– The High Court in Glasgow convicted Campbell after a 15-day trial and three days of jury deliberation with a majority verdict.
– Sentencing was expected to be passed on the same day as the verdict.
The case has shaken the close-knit community in Aberfeldy, leading to a prolonged investigation marked by initial confusion over the nature of Low’s death.
