Did Caroline Muirhead Testify at Sandy McKellar’s Murder Trial?
Sandy wanted to plead guilty to causing death by dangerous driving, according to his defense counsel Brian McConnachie. But the Crown rejected the offer, intent on proceeding with a murder charge, to which Sandy pleaded not guilty.
Caroline, meanwhile, had been put on leave from her job, moved back in with her parents and, as she put it in the doc, “started recording everything to keep a grasp on my own reality.”
On the day she was to testify at trial in July 2023, instead she headed out to Sandy’s estate, determined to find Parsons’ still-missing bicycle.
At that moment, “I’m not sane,” she recalled. She found a tractor in the barn and drove it to a nearby loch, thinking, “If that bike is still there, I am going to try to find it.”
“The shock of the cold water actually made me very emotional,” she continued. “I have just f–ked my whole life up, for what? For a man who actually killed somebody. And that grief and that loss, and that stress, culminated into that psychotic finale.”
She was arrested for contempt of court and jailed.
