Renee MacRae murder suspect's wife said 'I never stabbed her' after being arrested over Scots mum's disappearance

A murder suspect’s wife blurted: “I never stabbed her” when arrested over the disappearance of a mother and child, a trial heard. Rosemary MacDowell’s husband Bill MacDowell, 80, denies the 1976 murder of his lover Renee MacRae, 36, and their three-year-old son Andrew.

The jury was told the MacDowells were quizzed by police in 1986. Mrs MacDowell was questioned in court yesterday by ­advocate depute Alex ­Prentice about a statement she gave to Det Sgt Peter Black at the time.

Mrs MacDowell, now 80, said to the detective: “I don’t know what you are getting on to me for. I never stabbed her or whatever happened to her.”
