Bizarre story. How don’t you notice that the man was shot dead until days after!? Mighty odd.

Says in the article that the officers involved might face disciplinary action. No mention of the paramedics/doctor who were presumably also called to the scene in the event of a sudden death.

Seems a bit hard on the bobbies involved t be honest, presumably the wound wasn’t obvious if it was missed, so if the medical professionals didn’t diagnose, how are the non medically trained police force expected to diagnose?

Was shotgun wounds!?

We have to be realistic, police are very busy keeping a lid on offended persons, they have to stop all these homophobes, transphobes, racists etc mis gendering, you can't expect them to notice someone being shot as well surely .

To be fair the same happened to a gangster in Essex and local plod didn't realise.

Wasn't found as being shot till the post mortem. I did wonder if it was a long distance shot and only a couple of pellets hit something vital.

May even have been an accident from someone carelessly shooting game.

Old Guy who lived with his 'partner', recently retired from his job on a local estate shot by another old guy with a shotgun receiving a fatal shotgun wound to the neck & chest.

Keystone Cops & Clueless Medics
Welcome to modern 21st Century Scotland - the perpetrator will probably get off because he committed the murder on a day ending with a Y or the prisons are too full or he is part of some newly developed Scottish old people murderer minority that the SNP want to protect

Oooof. Right in the petillie area as well!

Unless you have some pretty serious medical training it is often very difficult to determine that someone died through foul play. A shotgun pellet that passes through the side of the thorax under the armpit and into the heart, for example, might not bleed all that much externally and it might take some while for the victim to die. They could have ample time to walk a fair distance and then sit down or collapse in a way that an onlooker might assume was a heart attack because of the absence of any obvious injury.

Also don't forget the time required to log non criminal hate speech

Why is everyone going on about shot guns?

If he was shot with say a .22 pistol there would just be a small entry wound and the bullet might still be in the body.

He wasn't shot with a .22 pistol, he was shot with a shotgun receiving a wound to the neck & chest

It seems a very odd case. A man is found dead and no one thinks to at least examine the body?

Being hit with small calibre bullets in certain areas can also cause very little external trauma but lots of internal bleeding.

It will all come out during the trial no doubt
