It was the double murder that shocked a quiet residential street in one of the most sought after suburbs of Edinburgh.
Jilted lover Alexander Main Stirling's November 1959 killing of a war veteran father and his daughter resulted in a nationwide manhunt that would be concluded hundreds of miles away from Scotland's capital.
Stirling was a married man, but had secretly been courting 25-year-old Irene Bennett, a city typist, who looked after her invalid father James Bennett, 65, a veteran of the First World War.
