Police investigating the murder of a man in Aberdeenshire have released CCTV images of a car which may have been at his home shortly before his death.

Officers want to trace the driver of a car parked at Brian McKandie's home in Rothienorman on the weekend of Friday, March 11. Mr McKandie was killed that weekend.

They also want to find the driver of a silver Ford Fiesta seen at his home on the same day.

Police believe the maroon estate parked at Fairview Cottages may have been a Subaru WRX Impreza which was caught on CCTV nearby.

Detective chief inspector Iain Smith said: "Witnesses have described seeing various vehicles being at Mr McKandie's address during the course of March 11 and, despite repeated appeals to the trace the users of the cars, they remain unidentified.

"We are keen to identify the drivers of an old-style silver Ford Fiesta motor car and a burgundy or maroon coloured estate car, possibly a Volvo, both of which have been seen at the address on March 11.

"Both these cars may have been at the address for legitimate social or business reasons.

"We also believe a number of customers or friends of Mr McKandie who may visit him from time to time have yet to come forward."
