THE family of a man murdered with a cheese wire 41 years ago have urged relatives who suspect a dead family member to submit DNA in the hunt for a killer.
Taxi driver George Murdoch was found dead beside his cab on Pitfodels Station Road, Aberdeen, having just picked up a fare in September 1983.
The cheese wire believed to have been used to garrotte him was discovered nearby - but the culprit was never found.
Police pro# the case found 200 possible DNA matches as they hope to establish any family link to a profile from the scene.
But his family fear relatives, who suspect a now deceased family member, won't come forward for genetic testing.
George's nephew Alex McKay said: "We strongly believe someone out there knows who the killer is and we hope that their conscience will be pricked.
"Even if that person is dead, it is still closure for our family.
"If you have someone's name in mind, you are not hurting them all you could be doing is giving us the answers we desperately want.
