“We would like to thank all the civilians and Scottish police colleagues for their support and support in this investigation,” said Senior Inspector Morse Vanessa Rolf.
The unit had previously appealed to Barrot, who was seen in Edinburgh and Aberdeen, urged him to hand over himself after arriving at Elgin’s address, but he was gone.
The couple’s neighbor said he had lived in the terrace house for about 20 years and had two adult children, a son and a daughter.
