Following today’s sentencing of Finlay MacDonald, Scotland’s Procurator Fiscal for homicide, Moira Orr, said:
“This has been a traumatic ordeal for all those affected by Finlay MacDonald’s shocking crimes.
“The circumstances of John MacKinnon’s death and the injuries inflicted on Rowena MacDonald and Fay and John MacKenzie are deeply distressing and have had a profound effect on their communities.
“As prosecutors, we ensured that all the admissible evidence ingathered was led at trial in order that justice was delivered for John and the other victims and that ultimately MacDonald faced the consequences of his actions.
“Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those affected at this difficult time.”
