Brother makes appeal following McKandie murder
Relatives can't understand what lies behind the 67-year-old's death
William McKandie has made an appeal for information to help in the investigation into his brother's murder. Brian McKandie was found dead on Saturday 12th March in Rothienorman. Police have also released a picture him in a bank in Turriff the day before.
Speaking about his brother's death, William said: "My sister and I are now left with questions about why someone would want to hurt him, what did they want?" "He was a 67-year-old man who lived alone, who worked hard as a self-employed mechanic and was friendly to anyone who spoke to him. How could someone do this to him?" "I would ask that if anyone thinks they have information about what happened to my brother, they may have seen something or heard something, to contact police" "We have lost our brother and we just want to know what happened and why" Police are still keen to speak two men seen talking to Brian McKandie at various points on Friday 11th March. The first man is thought to be in his fifties, with a heavy set build. The second man has been described as younger. At the time they appeared to be beside a burgundy or maroon coloured estate car which was parked in Mr McKandie's driveway leading up to his house. Earlier this week Police also appealed for two men seen talking to Mr McKandie between 5pm and 6pm on Friday 11th March. One man is believed to be aged in his twenties and the other aged in his thirties or forties.
