Shotgun death charge: Brother-in-law in dock

A MAN has appeared in court charged with the murder of his brother-in-law on Skye. 

Finlay MacDonald is accused of shooting John MacKinnon, 47, at his home in Teangue on August 10, 2022.

The 40-year-old is separately charged with the attempted murder of his wife Rowena MacDonald, 33, and two other people the same day.

A preliminary hearing took place yesterday at the High Court in Glasgow.

Prosecutors claim MacDonald killed dad-of-six John by repeatedly discharging a shotgun, striking him on the body. MacDonald is said to have previously shown “malice and ill will” towards him.
