Man in court over 1995 murder
A man is due to appear in court charged in connection with the murder of a man more than 11 years ago.
The body of Robert Higgins was found in Craigs Quarry, Milrig Farm in Kirkliston, West Lothian on May 1, 1995. He had been stabbed to death. The 35-year-old chicken factory worker had left his home in Dalmeny, near Edinburgh, which he shared with his mother, four days earlier.
The case remained unsolved for more than ten years until Lothian and Borders police reopened the investigation in January this year.
On Wednesday night, police confirmed that a 33-year-old man had been arrested in connection with the murder.
He is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday.
