Nat Fraser charged with wife’s murder

A MAN appeared in court yesterday accused of murdering his wife 13 years ago.

Nat Fraser, 52, is charged with murdering his wife Arlene Fraser, 33, at her home at Smith Street, Elgin, or at an unknown location elsewhere in Scotland. Fraser appeared in the dock at the High Court in Glasgow and made no plea.

It is alleged he compressed his wife’s neck, strangled her and murdered her.
