Killer who gunned down Scots banker on doorstep could be younger than police first thought

Police searching for the suspect of a nearly 20-year-old murder now believe the killer may have been younger than first thought.
Alistair Wilson, 30, was shot on his doorstep in Nairn in the Highlands on November 28, 2004.
The murder of the bank worker still remains unsolved 17 years later.

Previous appeals described the gunman as being aged between 30 and 40 years old, however, detectives now believe the man who shot Alistair may have been younger and could have been aged between 20 and 40 years old at the time.
Detective Superintendent Graeme Mackie, who is leading the investigation, said: "Over 17 years have passed since Alistair Wilson was murdered at his home in Nairn and the case continues to be reviewed and investigated by specialist officers locally, nationally and internationally.
"I am now able to issue a new appeal in relation to the description of the murderer based on reviews of witness accounts and further investigative work.
"In previous appeals, the murderer seen on the night in 2004 had been described as a man aged between 30 and 40 years of age.
"Having now carried out extensive inquires and reviewed previous descriptions and witnesses' evidence, I believe that this age range is too narrow and it is more accurate to describe the male who we believe killed Alistair was aged between 20 and 40 years old at the time.
"He was approximately 5ft 7in in height and was seen to be wearing a baseball cap and jacket.
"This would mean that Alistair's killer is now
