Man, 80, was sentenced to life after murdering his lover and their son more than 45 years ago and police are now urging William MacDowell to tell them what he did with the bodies of Renee and Andrew MacRae after they disappeared in 1976.

A married man who murdered his lover and her young son more than 45 years ago will likely die behind bars.

Alex Prentice KC said during the trial that MacDowell was the only man with a motive for killing the pair, as his concern grew that news of his affair would be revealed and what that would mean for his finances and lifestyle. Mrs MacRae's sister, Morag Steventon, said after the conviction:"Almost 46 years on, the pain of losing Renee and Andrew in such a cruel and brutal fashion never fades."They were both so precious to us and a day never passes without them both in our thoughts."

Operation Abermule, the latest investigation into the murders, was set up to find the killer and to discover the resting place of the pair's bodies almost 46 years after they were killed.
