Brian Low was shot and killed while walking his dog in February 2024 near Aberfeldy, Scotland. Initially, police did not recognize the suspicious nature of his death, leading to significant delays in the investigation and the establishment of a crime scene. It took three months for authorities to arrest David Campbell, a former colleague with a long-standing grudge against Low, who is now serving a life sentence for the murder.
The case highlights serious lapses in police protocol, as evidence was compromised and critical forensic opportunities were missed. The Low family has expressed frustration over the investigation's handling, which is documented in a BBC series detailing the events surrounding the murder and subsequent trial.
