Christopher Harrisson, of Aberdeen, was convicted at the High Court in Aberdeen of murdering Dr Brenda Page, 32, at her home on July 14 1978.
An 82-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering his ex-wife 45 years ago, bringing to an end one of Scotland's longest-running crime investigations.
Harrisson was eventually snared in March 2020, five years after the Lord Advocate, Scotland's top judge, ordered police to launch a fresh investigation into Brenda's killing. "Brenda was an extremely kind, intelligent woman with her whole life ahead of her. It hurts us to think of the great things she would have undoubtedly achieved. Forty-five years is a long time to be at liberty whilst the family have endured such tragedy, sadness and loss.
"Also to the many witnesses who have helped Brenda get justice today. We appreciate the stress and anxiety this process must have caused over the many years, especially giving evidence. Our heartfelt thanks go to each and every one." DI Winter said: “Brenda was never forgotten and hope remained that one day her murderer would face the consequences of his actions. For Brenda’s family, colleagues, friends and everyone who has worked on this case over many years, that day is finally here.
