Finlay MacDonald, 41, has been accused of a shooting spree in the Scottish Highlands in August 2022. He denies murdering one man and attempting to murder three others.

A woman has told a murder trial she feared she and her husband were going to die after an alleged gunman shot her partner at 'point blank' range. Fay MacKenzie said the couple fell over but her husband then 'rose up' and seized the gun from the man. She also told the court how moments earlier the man waited for her as she came in from the patio holding her cereal bowl and shot her through a window, hitting her in the face.

She replied: 'One shot, I can't remember hearing the bang, I was on the couch, I thought it's not good, he must have got the top of my head. He must have shot me twice. My eyes were full of blood.' Mrs MacKenzie described how she fled to the bathroom, the only room in the house with a lock on the door, and put a towel on her head to staunch the blood. Her husband, whom she referred to as John Don, arrived but she then saw the alleged gunman in the corridor.
