Double killer William MacDowell confessed in front of his wife that he’d been having an affair with missing woman Renee MacRae.
The 80-year-old – who was convicted of the 1976 killing of Renee and their four-year-old son last week – had not spoken to police when he made the startling admission to the Sunday Mail’s Alan Dow.
Alan, now 79, called it a “calculated confession” as MacDowell knew that police would be looking to speak to him, nine days after the mum from Inverness had gone missing.
