Renee MacRae: Trial told of 'man with wide, staring eyes' |
A man with "wide and staring eyes" pushing a pushchair was seen on the night a mother and son disappeared 46 years ago, a court has heard. William MacDowell denies murdering Renee MacRae, 36, and their three-year-old son Andrew MacRae in the Highlands. His trial has heard a statement given by Jean Wallace, now deceased, who was a passenger in a car as it travelled up the A9 south of Inverness. She said the sight of the man by the road had frightened her. Mr MacDowell, 80, of Penrith, Cumbria, has been accused of murdering Mrs MacRae and their son at a lay-by on the A9 at Dalmagarry, south of Inverness, or elsewhere on November 12th 1976. Mr MacDowell denies the charges against him, including one alleging he disposed of Renee and Andrew MacRae's bodies, personal effects and a pushchair and of setting fire to a BMW car. The trial before Lord Armstrong continues. |
