POLICE officers investigating the murder of Brian McKandie in Rothienorman have appealed to motorists who may have been in the area between Friday March 11 and Saturday March 12 and may have recorded dashcam footage.
His body was found at his home at Fairview Cottages, Badenscoth, Rothienorman last Saturday, March 12. This is approximately two miles north of Rothienorman on the B9001.
Police Scotland are keen to speak to two men seen talking to Mr McKandie between 5pm and 6pm on Friday March 11 and are continuing to appeal for these men to come forward. One man is believed to be aged in his twenties and the other aged in his thirties or forties.
Detective Chief Inspector Iain Smith said: "We are appealing to anyone who has been in the Rothienorman area Friday into Saturday who may have dashboard camera footage to come forward as this may assist us with our enquiries.
"While they may not necessarily think it is beneficial or relevant let us make that judgement, it may assist us.
"A member of the public has already come forward with dashcam footage and we are grateful for the response from the public. We would appeal to others to do so.
"Anyone with information can contact us on 101 or if you wish to remain anonymous Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
Mr McKandie’s home is part of a small collection of houses in a fairly remote area, around 15 miles from Huntly.
