A detective yesterday told a murder trial that the widow of Gary Clampett gave him the names of four people as he drove her away from the crime scene.

Detective constable Alan Low was giving evidence at the trial of John Henderson, 47, Gary Martin, 37, Joseph Martin, 40, Thomas Martin, 45, David Graham, 46, James Connor, 52, and Dean Leech, 25, who deny murdering Mr Clampett by hitting him with knives, a machete, a sword, a chain, a hammer, a crowbar, a wrench, a stick, bats, golf clubs, poles and a metal bat at Fernie Place, Fraserburgh, on June 18 last year.

DC Low told the High Court in Glasgow that he was in Queen Street police station in Aberdeen at 4am when he heard about an incident at Fernie Place in Fraserburgh.

The policeman said that he arrived at the scene at 4.35am, having learned on the way that a man had died.

At Fernie Place, DC Low spoke to Mr Clampett’s widow Sharon Clampett and Rena Sutherland and then drove them to Fraserburgh police station.

Prosecutor Paul Kearney said: “The court has heard there was a trial about five weeks away. The trial of a man accused of the murder of Sharon Clampett’s father in the 1990’s. Were you part of that investigation and had you had some contact with Sharon Clampett?”

DC Low replied: “Yes.”

He was then asked if Sharon Clampett had been in “an emotional state” and replied: “Yes, she was very upset and tearful at times, quite talkative and then she would go quiet. Her and Rena were trying to comfort each other.”

DC Low said Mrs Clampett had then given him names of the people responsible.

Under cross examination from Defence QC Shelagh McCall, the detective confirmed that the name of Joseph Martin was not among those given by Sharon Clampett.

The trial before judge Lord Beckett continues.
