A heartbroken son who was just eight years old when his dad died has spoken out about the brutal murder for the first time since his death.
David Taylor is now fighting for a posthumous bravery medal for his late father who was slain in action working as a police officer in Carstairs over four decades ago.
The day had started like normal with little David waving his dad George of to work with a kiss on the cheek but tragically he would never see his dad alive again as he was murdered just an hour later.
