A grieving mother is still digging to find her son's body 24 years after he was killed in a violent attack because she refuses to believe remains found by police are his.
Adam Alexander died at his home in Errol, Perthshire, after being attacked with a metal pole by friend Thomas Pryde following a row in 1999. Pryde pleaded guilty in 2010 to culpable homicide and was jailed for 10 years.
Following his arrest he told officers where he buried the 46-year-old's body, but a large-scale search in 2008 failed to find any trace of him. Another search was conducted in 2012 and bone fragments were found which were confirmed as being Adam's following DNA analysis.
