How Brenda Page killer was caught as eerie images show evidence gathered during investigation
Prosecutor Alex Prentice KC, a leading Advocate Depute and Crown Counsel, presented compelling circumstantial evidence to the High Court in Aberdeen to disprove the deceit Harrisson had been hiding behind for years.
A minute flake of paint found on Dr Page’s bedroom window - which had been forced open - matched the paint on Harrisson’s Mini Traveller car. Further DNA samples taken from Dr Page’s flat found one sperm sample was 590 million times more likely to have come from Christopher Harrisson rather than from any other male unrelated to him.
Along with original statements - some still in manuscript from the 70s - and carefully recorded testimonies of witnesses who had since passed away, these breakthroughs proved to become powerful circumstantial evidence. The picture they built exposed the truth of the murder of Dr Brenda Page – and brought her killer to justice.
