Muriel McKay: Landowner rejects family's £40,000 to let them dig murdered woman's suspected burial site
A landowner has reportedly turned down a £40,000 offer by the family of a murdered woman to allow them to dig the farm where they believe she was buried.
Muriel McKay, the 55-year-old wife of a newspaper executive, was kidnapped and held ransom for £1 million in 1969 by a pair who had mistaken her for Anna Murdoch, the then-wife of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
Mrs McKay's family this week hand-delivered a letter farm where the killer said her body lies, offering £40,000 for permission to carry out a fresh dig.
