John Swinney 'prepared' to meet with Alistair Wilson's family
He said while "there is a limit" to what he can do he is prepared to hear their concerns.
The First Minister has said he is prepared to meet with the family of murdered banker Alistair Wilson.
John Swinney said while "there is a limit to what I can do" he would meet to hear their concerns.
Mr Wilson, 30, was murdered on November 28 2004 at his home in Nairn in the Highlands.
Responding to a question from former Tory leader Douglas Ross during First Minister's Questions, Mr Swinney said: "I would be prepared to meet with Mrs Wilson and her family to hear of their anguish.
"There will be a limit to what I can do, but if it provides any assistance or support to their family that the First Minister is prepared to listen to their concerns then I am prepared to do that."
Earlier this week, Alistair's son Andrew outlined how he "still has nightmares" about his dad's murder.
Then aged four, Andrew saw his father lying in a pool of blood after he was shot at their home.
Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell has said officers have a "resolute determination" to solve the murder, but the Wilson family have questioned whether she is fit to lead the force.
