They let my kind Tony die & buried him.Yet I have the life sentence

Family break silence on drink-driver who killed charity cyclist

- BY STUART MacDonald

THE widow of a cyclist who was killed by a drink-driver has spoken for the first time to condemn the “callous” twin brothers who hid his body in a shallow grave.

Alexander McKellar was speeding when he hit Tony Parsons, 63, and left him to die on the A82 near Bridge of Orchy, Argyll, in September 2017.

In an attempt to cover up the crime, he and his sibling Robert later retrieved the body and dumped it in a “dead hole”, which was used to dispose of animal carcasses on a remote estate where they worked.

Dad-of-two Tony, from Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire, who served in the Royal Navy, had gone missing during a 104-mile charity bike ride from Fort William back to his home town.

His body lay undiscovered for over three years until 2021 when McKellar led his former girlfriend Caroline Muirhead to the burial site and she tipped off police.
