Murder accused Finlay MacDonald was ‘focused’ on attacking targets

Defence counsel Donald Findlay KC said to the psychologist that Mr MacDonald went to the home of his brother-in-law, John MacKinnon, armed with one of his guns and “really enough ammunition to start a small war” and shot him.

The psychologist told the High Court in Edinburgh that, at the time of the alleged murder, Mr MacDonald was affected by autism and post traumatic stress disorder with depression, anxiety and a personality disorder in the background.

Finlay MacDonald has denied murdering Mr MacKinnon, a distillery worker, on August 10 in 2022 by shooting him at his family home at Teangue in Skye.

He has also denied attempting to murder his wife Rowena, 34, at their family home at Tarskavaig in Skye on the same date by repeatedly stabbing her.

He further denies attempting to murder retired osteopath John MacKenzie and his wife Fay, both 65, on the same day at their home in the village of Dornie, in Wester Ross, by discharging a shotgun at them.

The trial continues.
