Alexander McKellar, 31, hit and killed the 63-year-old grandad before later burying the body with the help of his twin, Robert.
A drink-driver who killed a charity cyclist Tony Parsons by hitting him and abandoning him by the side of the road is due to be sentenced today, alongside the twin brother who helped him bury the body.
McKellar admitted driving on the A82 at “excess speed and when unfit through alcohol”. With “reckless disregard” for the consequences of his actions, he left Mr Parsons by the side of the road “in a remote location during the hours of darkness and in inclement weather”, causing his death. The woman left a can of Red Bull in the area where Mr Parsons’ body had been hidden and detectives later found the scene. The brothers also hid Mr Parsons’ bicycle behind a waterfall on the Auch Estate but this has never been recovered, the court heard.
