Brendan Dixon Serving Life in prison for Murdering Margaret Irvine along With Patrick Docherty who were not friends and did not hang about with each other, Yet they both stood trial and were convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years.
At one stage the police enquiry were ready to DNA everyone in Galston yet this ceased when they arrested the two above, even though their DNA does not match the DNA found at the murder scene nor the Footprint found.
Brendans family knew he was Innocent as he was with them at the time the murder was supposed to have happened and were willing to give evidence to this effect but were not called to do so Why?

THE TRIAL: ON TUESDAY MARCH 1ST 2005 AT KILMARNOCK HIGH COURT BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY WERE BOTH FOUND GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF MARGARET IRVINE.BOTH MEN WERE GIVEN LIFE SENTENCES FOR A CRIME THAT THEY DID NOT COMMIT. COLIN MILLER THE THIRD ACCUSED WAS FOUND NOT PROVEN.THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE IN THE CASE. THE CASE WAS BASED ON HEARSAY AND CIRCUMSTATIAL EVIDENCE. THE POLICE RECOVERED DNA AND FOOTPRINTS FROM THE MURDER SCENE THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ANY OF THE ACCUSED. A NUMBER OF KEY WITNESSES,WHO ARE NO STRANGERS TO POLICE HAD THEMSELVES BEEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE MURDER. SEVERAL OF THESE WITNESSES AGAINST BRENDAN AND PATRICK WERE PROVEN IN COURT TO HAVE LIED WHILE GIVING EVIDENCE. THE MURDER: ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH 2003, 91 YEAR OLD GALSTON WOMAN MARGARET IRVINE WAS MURDERED. SHE WAS FOUND BY HER CARER AT 4.50 PM SHE HAD BEEN GAGGED AND HAD HANDS TIED BEHIND HER BACK WITH A BELT. THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS ASPHYXIA DUE TO HER CHOCKING ON THE DUSTER THAT HAD BEEN PLACED IN HER MOUTH. MRS IRVINE WAS LAST SEEN ALIVE AT 7.OO AM BY THE CARER WHO CAME IN TO MAKE HER BREAKFAST. SHE INSTRUCTED THE CARER TO LEAVE THE DOOR UNLOCKED TO ENABLE OTHERS TO GAIN ENTRY. MRS IRVINE WAS DESCRIBED AS BEEN MENTALLY ALERT ALTHOUGH SHE WAS HOUSEBOUND. ON OCTOBER 31ST 2003 BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY WERE BOTH CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF MARGARET IRVINE. COLIN MILLER WAS CHARGED ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THE ORIGINAL SUSPECT HOWEVER WAS COLIN MILLER,WHO MET BRENDAN DIXON IN KILMARNOCK HMP, (COLIN MILLER WAS IN FOR A WEEK FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FINES AND BRENDAN DIXON WAS IN FOR SMASHING HIS EX-GIRLFRIENDS WINDOWS);COLIN MILLER WAS ATTACKED BY CONS WHIST IN PRISON FOR HIS PART IN THE MURDER.BRENDAN DIXON TRIES TO REASSURE HIM BY TELLING HIM THE POLICE WERE ALSO PUTTING HIM AND PATRICK DOCHERTY FORWARD AS SUSPECTS AND MANY OTHER KNOWN CRIMINALS. AS SOON AS HE GOT RELEASED FROM PRISON COLIN MILLER WENT TO THE POLICE AND MADE A THIRD STATEMENT, ONLY THIS TIME HE SAYS HE SAW BRENDAN DIXON AND PATRICK DOCHERTY, IN CATHERINE DRIVE, WHICH HE CHANGES IN A FOURTH STATEMENT TO SEEING THEM OUTSIDE MRS IRVINE'S HOUSE. COLIN MILLER THEN BECOMES CHIEF WITNESS, THAT IS UNTIL ALMOST A YEAR LATER WHEN THE PF REALISES THAT COLIN MILLER COULDN'T HAVE SEEN ANYONE FROM WHERE HE STATES,AND EVENTUALLY AFTER TEN MONTHS IS CHARGED WITH MRS IRVINE'S MURDER;BUT ONLY AFTER BEING THE ONLY WITNESS CLAIMING TO HAVE SEEN BRENDAN AND PATRICK AT THE SCENE OF CRIME. COLIN MILLER WAS THE ONLY WITNESS THAT CLAIMED TO HAVE SEEN BRENDAN AND PATRICK NEAR THE SCENE ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. IT WAS PROVEN IN COURT THAT COLIN MILLER COULD NOT HAVE SEEN BRENDAN OF PATRICK FROM THE LOCATION THAT HE CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN AT. COLIN MILLER WAS THE ONLY PERSON SPOTTED NEAR THE SCENE THAT MORNING.MRS PATON A NEIGHBOUR OF MRS IRVINE,STATED IN COURT THAT SHE WAS UP EARLY THAT SUNDAY MORNING. SHE LOOKED OF HER WINDOW AND SEEN COLIN MILLER THREE TIMES, AT 6.00 AM , 6.40 AM, AND AGAIN AT 7.00 AM. HOWEVER WITNESSES FOR COLIN MILLER STATED IN COURT THAT HE SPENT THE SATURDAY NIGHT AT THEIR HOUSE. THEY STATED THAT HE DID NOT LEAVE THEIR HOUSE UNTIL 7.50 AM ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. LATER THAT MORNING COLIN MILLER WAS AR ANOTHER FRIENDS HOUSE. AFTER RECEIVING A TEXT MESSAGE, AROUND 10 AM COLIN MILLER WENT OUTSIDE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. SHORTLY AFTER HE RETURNED TO THE HOUSE, HE WAS IN A RAGE AND HIT HIS FRIEND ON THE HEAD AND FACE WITH A HAMMER. ANOTHER NEIGHBOUR OF MRS IRVINE WAS MRS MC CARTNEY,IN COURT SHE STATED, AT AROUND 10AM SHE HEARD A MALE VOICE SHOUTING ARE YOU THERE? SHE LOOKED OUT HER WINDOW AND SEEN A MALE FROM THE BACK STANDING IN THE KITCHEN OF THE MURDER SCENE.SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A MALE STANGER PASSING BY HER HOUSE EARLY ON THE MORNING OF THE MURDER. BOTH BRENDAN AND PATRICK HAD SEPERATE ALIBIS TO STATE THAT THEY WERE NO WHERE NEAR THE GALSTON VICINITY ON THE MORNING OF SUNDAY 28 TH SEPTEMBER 2003, WHEN MRS IRVINE WAS MURDERED. IF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WAS STILL CARRIED OUT IN BRITAIN TODAY, A LOT OF INNOCENT MEN AND WOMEN WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO TELL THEIR STORIES OF POLICE CORRUPTION, AND UNDERHAND DEALINGS IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM! NO JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE FOR MARGARET IRVINE OR HER FAMILY. GALSTON IS A SMALL COMMUNITY; AND THE MURDERS OF MARGARET IRVINE MUST BE KNOWN TO SOMEONE IN THE AREA. FREE THE KILLIE 2 AND CATCH THE REAL KILLERS
