Police admit Perthshire shooting evidence may have been lost

Officers did not notice Brian Low had been shot and initially treated it as a medical matter

Police who failed to notice a Perthshire dog walker had been shot dead have admitted evidence may have been lost because the crime scene was not sealed off for several days.

Six days later a post mortem was carried out and a murder inquiry was launched.

Detectives say it was not an accident and they’re keeping an open mind on the motive.
