McKie speaks of hope over inquiry
THE father of a policewoman accused of leaving her fingerprint at a murder scene said he hoped a public inquiry would ensure the affair was never repeated.
Iain McKie spoke out ahead of an initial hearing for the inquiry into the Shirley McKie case, which starts in Glasgow on Monday.
Mr McKie said: "Shirley and I will do all that we can to ensure that the inquiry achieves its goals, reveals what happened over the past 11 years and generates recommendations that will help ensure it never happens again."
Ms McKie, a former policewoman from Troon, Ayrshire, was accused of leaving her fingerprint at the Kilmarnock home of the murder victim, Marion Ross, in 1997. She challenged the findings of experts and was cleared of perjury.
