A man has been arrested in connection with the death of a dogwalker who was allegedly fatally shot in Aberfeldy more than three months ago.
The body of Brian Low was discovered alongside his black Labrador at around 8.30am on Saturday, February 17 in the Pitillie area on the outskirts of Aberfeldy.
The 65-year-old’s death was initially assessed as being “non-suspicious and medical-related” but it was confirmed six days later that he died from a shotgun wound to the neck and chest.
Police confirmed on Friday that a 75-year-old man has been arrested and is in custody being questioned by detectives from the Major Investigation Team.
