DETECTIVES have made a fresh appeal for help in finding the remains of an English drugs courier murdered on Fenwick Moor more than 30 years ago.
Paul Thorne, from Bristol, was shot dead in a remote wooded area near the village of Moscow in Ayrshire in October, 1988.
He had arrived in Glasgow earlier that day with a £30,000 consignment of the drug Amphetamine Sulphate.
His job was to hand over the batch and take the cash payment back to gang bosses in Bristol.
Instead, Thorne was lured down to Fenwick Moor on a pretext and killed.
Five men John Paul McFadyen, Ricardo Blanco, Thomas Collins, Thomas Currie and Stephen Mitchell stood trial for his murder and three McFadyen, Blanco and Collins were found guilty.
