The first minister says this is an "incredibly sensitive case" and he expresses his sympathy to the Wilson family and says he shares their frustration that the case has not been resolved.

John Swinny highlights the extensive investigation undertaken in the case.

He welcomes the the lord advocate instructing that a fresh investigation is undertaken.

Swinney says Police Scotland operates with absolute independence from the government and it would be inappropriate for him to express any opinion about the chief constable's actions in a live investigation.

The family of murdered banker Alistair Wilson have accused Police Scotland's chief constable of being "callous" for refusing to speak to them.

Father-of-two Mr Wilson was fatally wounded when he was shot at his home in Nairn in November 2004 in what became known as the "doorstep murder". His killer has never been caught.

Scotland's top law officer has ordered a new investigation into the case - and Chief Constable Jo Farrell this week announced a team had been put in place, while saying the force remained “absolutely committed” to solving the murder.

But Mr Wilson's family say they have been "kept in the dark" by police after criticising how the investigation into his death had been handled.

The Scottish Conservative leader says November will mark 20 years since the doorstep murder of Alistair Wilson.

Douglas Ross says his family have raised serious concerns about Police Scotland and Chief Constable Jo Farrell.

Mr Wilson' son Andrew has questioned why the family has been kept in the dark while "Jo Farrell is basking in the media spotlight".

The family describes the behaviour of Jo Farrell as "insulting and callous".

Ross asks if the first minister agrees with the family of Alistair Wilson.

John Swinney is sitting poised and ready as Douglas Ross begins their final clash in FMQs.

Today marks the final FMQs outing for Douglas Ross as Scottish Tory leader, with his successor to be announced tomorrow morning.

How has he fared over his three years in the job, facing off with three different first ministers?

From the outset, Mr Ross developed a style designed to get under Nicola Sturgeon’s skin. He wanted to rile the then-SNP leader, to goad her into breaking out of her polished image to snap back at him.

It frequently worked, prompting many a rowdy session – much to Mr Ross’s evident delight, and the disappointment of the presiding officer – in which the Tory leader could proclaim to be fulfilling his core duty of “standing up to the SNP”.

If anything this approach worked even better with Humza Yousaf, who couldn’t resist being drawn into a spat with his Conservative opponent. And while Mr Yousaf’s exit from office was ultimately self-inflicted, it was a confidence motion tabled by Mr Ross which finished him off.

But this abrasive style might have sown the seeds of the Tory leader’s downfall too, with persistent chatter about some of his MSP colleagues being unhappy.

That came to a head over his decision to stand for Westminster again during the election campaign, leading to his resignation.

But it continues to be a running theme – Mr Ross has infuriated several of his MSPs this week by defending the idea of maintaining a small inner circle of advisors, claiming that “you could go along the corridor and listen to every MSP in our group and have 31 different opinions”.

So there will doubtless be many on the government benches who will be pleased to see the back of Mr Ross, given his hobby of tormenting them – but the same may be true of some of those sitting behind him too.
