A pensioner accused of murdering his lover and young son was the only man with the motive to kill the pair, a court has heard.
Alex Prentice KC, prosecuting, told a jury at the High Court in Inverness that William MacDowell murdered Renee MacRae, 36, and their three-year-old son Andrew MacRae at the Dalmagarry layby on November 12 1976, and then covered up the killing.
