Motorist admits killing charity cyclist in drink driving collision and burying body Alexander McKellar pleaded guilty to the reduced charge of culpable homicide relating to the death of cyclist Tony Parsons cycling
in a drink-driving collision has admitted murdering the 63-year-old and burying his body in a country estate.
Repeated police appeals and searches failed to find the cyclist or his bike but, after the McKellar brothers were arrested in December 2020, Mr Parsons’ remains were discovered on 12 January 2021 close to a remote farm on the Auch Estate.The High Court in Glasgow heard this week how a car being driven by Alexander McKellar, in which Robert was a passenger, hit Mr Parsons.
When the brothers took the vehicle they were travelling in at the time of the collision for repairs, they claimed that the damage had been caused by a collision with a deer.
However, today Alexander McKellar pleaded guilty to the reduced plea of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter in Scottish law. “Throughout the six years since he went missing and then the subsequent criminal investigation, we had been left with many unanswered questions and it has been heartbreaking for each and every member of the family being unable to get these answers.
