Cops investigating the brutal murder of a taxi driver in Aberdeen will make a fresh appeal for information on BBC's Crimewatch Live as they look to identify his killer 40 years on. George "Dod" Murdoch, 58, was beaten and strangled during a violent attack which took place after he turned onto Pitfodels Station Road, on the outskirts of the city, at around 8.35pm on Thursday, September 29, 1983.
A cheese wire was used during the attack before it was found lying nearby. No-one has ever been arrested over George's death, with Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team continuing to review the case decades later.
Last month, cops revealed they were looking to identify a man who was seen wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt in Wilson’s Sports Bar on Market Street in Aberdeen in September 2015. Officers believe the individual may hold information that is crucial to finding out exactly what happened to George.
