Finlay MacDonald, 41, has been accused of a shooting spree in the Scottish Highlands in August 2022.
The wife of a man accused of going on a shooting spree on the Isle of Skye has told a court how he repeatedly stabbed her in front of their young children on the same day. Rowena MacDonald, 34, told a judge how she was drenched in her own blood and feared husband Finlay MacDonald, 41, was going to run her over during the alleged attack in August 2022.
She agreed their relationship 'was not in a good place' and said MacDonald was off work with a back injury, and had not been involved in a family holiday to England in the July of that year. Mrs MacDonald said that at the time of the alleged attacks, she had contacted support services and was on the housing list. She claimed on 9 August her husband 'attempted intimacy with me, having not been for a long time', but she did not reciprocate and felt he was 'disappointed'.
