Brutal killer Christopher Harrisson claimed in a police interview that officers investigating Brenda Page's murder planted evidence.
The 82-year-old has been found guilty of murdering his ex-wife 45 years ago, in July 1978, bringing to an end one of Scotland's longest-running crime investigations.
Jurors heard how Harrisson had subjected her to a prolonged campaign of domestic abuse, including coercive and controlling behaviours during their time together as a couple in Aberdeen.
