A WOMAN left a Red Bull can as a marker after her killer boyfriend took her to the remote makeshift grave where he had helped bury a charity cyclist.
Alexander McKellar, 31, confessed what had happened to Tony Parsons after his girlfriend asked if there was "anything in his past" which may affect their future together.
Alexander McKellar later drove her to a desolate peat bog in the 9000-acre Auch Estate near Bridge of Orchy, Argyll and Bute where he lived and worked as a deerstalker with his family.
She left the can there to mark the spot and informed the police which finally led to them finding the body of Tony, who had gone missing three years earlier.
Prosecutor Alex Prentice told the High Court in Glasgow yesterday: "She was taken by him to the spot opposite a hydroelectric building.
"He showed her where the body was buried. She deposited a Red Bull drinks can at the scene as a marker. The woman provided the information to the police. As a result, a major police investigation was commenced.
It eventually led to the remains of ex-navy officer Tony being found in January 2021 - more than three years after the much loved dad and grandad had been reported missing.
The grim discovery was yesterday revealed as Alexander and his twin brother Robert returned to the dock at the High Court in Glasgow. Alexander had admitted on Wednesday to the culpable homicide of the 63-year-old.
Both had pled guilty to a charge of attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
As Tony's family listened in court, Mr Prentice read out a one-hour narrative detailing the facts behind the crimes.
The advocate depute told how Tony had set out on a charity cycle having battled prostate cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010.
