The Haggarts and Their Family

Inspector bunyan was only found guilty of the two lesser offences of discredible conduct. The latter three charges were dropped after a lengthy disciplinary hearing. Detective sergeant robert beveridge, the officer who planted the hammer in the haggarts kitchen, was transferred out of the criminal investigation department. Another sergeant, decase's former lead investigator, detective superintendent jim winning, avoided discipline by retiring from the force. Aged in his forties, winning cited health reasons for his early departure. Central scotland police had attempted to block his retirement, but were unsuccessful.
