It comes as the officer leading the investigation makes a fresh appeal on TV’s Crimestoppers Roadshow this morning.

Police have previously described the case as a brutal murder''.

Officers investigating the death appealed to trace a burgundy car and its occupants seen in the Rothienorman area on March 11.

They also appealed for two sets of men who met Mr McKandie the same day to come forward.

In the days after the attack, Mr McKandie's shocked brother, William McKandie, appealed for information at a press conference and said ''somebody somewhere'' must know what happened to his brother.

He said: My sister and I are now left with questions about why someone would want to hurt him, what did they want?''
