Alistair Wilson was murdered at his home in Nairn in November 2004. Despite a massive police operation, the killer has never been found.

Now, former Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton has said Scots police were too quick to rule out a link to his work as a business manager at the Bank of Scotland.

Officers have previously said they believe the crime was related to a planning dispute with a local hotel.
