Fresh appeal on Castle Huntly absconder.
The Courier
December 16, 2006
POLICE officers in Tayside have issued a fresh appeal for information to help catch a killer who escaped from Castle Huntly open prison over a year and half ago.
Roderick McDonald (49) was jailed for life at the High Court in Edinburgh in 1993 for murdering his wife Elizabeth.
He was sent to HMP Greenock where he remained until December 2004, when he was moved to Castle Huntley open prison in Longforgan.
Four months later, on April 11, 2005, prison guards discovered he had absconded and, despite extensive inquiries, he has not been seen since.
McDonald is around 6ft, of heavy build with blue eyes and has grey receding hair and bushy eyebrows. He was last seen wearing a black jumper, blue polo shirt and blue denim jeans.
Tabloids dubbed bisexual McDonald ‘the kinky killer’ when the court heard he strangled Elizabeth (36) for denying his pleas for three-in-a-bed sex with his male lover.
Elizabeth left McDonald when she tired of his demands, but she returned after he promised to end his 19-year relationship with Mr Russell.
McDonald told the court he had ordered Mr Russell to leave the house just hours before he had awoken to find his wife dead.
In court the former coach driver denied murdering her and said he had no memory of what happened on the night of her death.
He said he had awoken on November 23, 1992 to find Elizabeth dead in bed beside him and with his arm around her neck.
However the jury returned a majority verdict of guilty and judge Lord Penrose sentenced McDonald to life imprisonment with an order to serve a minimum of nine years.
Do you think he was Guilty?

Woah, so he’s been “on the loose” for twenty years ??! and yes, I do think he had involvement! Sad to think that was the result after so many years of marriage or any reason! Eye opening share, Billy !!!

This was a superb and intense read—fantastic storytelling that captured the disturbing psychology behind the events without losing focus on the human impact. The way you structured the narrative made it both compelling and thought-provoking. Truly awesome work that stays with the reader long after finishing.
