Swansea. The son of murder pensioner Jenny

Methven says he and the man convicted for her killing had been

almost like brothers. David Methven says he cannot understand or

forgive William Kean for the attack. Jenny Methven was battered to death

at her remote Perthshire cottage. I jury today found William Kean

guilty of her murder. He Jenny Methven's son David believes court

having just seen his mother's killer jailed for life.

A police officer spoke on his behalf. William Kean was a friend

of mine for more than 20 years. We were almost like brothers. I cannot

begin to understand or forget what he did to my mum. His denials in

the time since and particularly during this trial fill me with

contempt. William Kean tried to blame David Methven for the murder.

He claimed he was involved in supplying drugs, acclaimed David

Methven denies false up the jury were told large sums of money were

kept in Jenny Methven's home. David Methven says some of it was his but

most of it was his mother's. Jenny Methven suffered at least 14 blows

to her head. David Methven said he had been -- William Kean said she

had been killed by her drug-addict friend. The brutal killing

triggered one of Tayside Police's biggest inquiries in recent years

of up David Methven found his murder mother when he returned to

the home they shared also up a video was shown to the court which

was taken by investigators inside the cottage. It showed Jenny

Methven's body on the kitchen floor. She was covered in blood with two

blood-soaked hills nearby. -- towels. Police have a prime suspect.

In this Perthshire village, William Kean apparently tried to commit

suicide. What was the evidence that snared William Kean? This car was

caught on CCTV camera heading for the -- Jenny Methven's home. The

car pulls up outside. Jenny Methven is on the phone at the time and

hangs up. William Kean's bloody fingerprint was found on the

telephone. The jury rejected William Kean's claimed that he had

been at the cottage and panicked upon finding ha already injured.

William Kean's wife Mary told the trial he was a quiet and reserved

man. The detectives say William Kean is yet to go if a motor for

the murder. If he has any heart, he will come forward to give us his

motive. That is the big question left over the murder of Jenny

Methven, the one only her killer cancer.

-- can answer. The Duke of Edinburgh is Bacchic

Balmoral following a five-night stay at Aberdeen Infirmary. He told

the staff he was going home to Balmoral to enjoy the rest of his

holiday. Prince Philip's seen to be in very good spirits when he left?

-- Philip seemed. He spent five nights in Aberdeen Infirmary after

being admitted last Wednesday. He left through the main door of the

hospital and shook hands with the nurses that look after him. She was

well enough to tell them that they should behave themselves and he

wanted to return to Balmoral to rest and recuperate. He went down

to the Range Rover and was driven the 50 miles or so back here to

Balmoral. How long will the Royal Family be staying at Balmoral?

you know, they come up here every summer. The love coming to Balmoral.

They will be here for about another six weeks. The Duke of Edinburgh

At Dundee-based building firm has gone into receivership with the

loss of 130 jobs after more than 40 years of trading. The receivers

were called in to Brown Construction this morning. It has

been dubbed Dounreay's graveyard. The first phase of the project to

build a series of nuclear waste vaults has just been completed. Two

massive pits will eventually hold all the low-level radioactive waste

generated as the nuclear power plant is demolished.

And it may look like a quarry but it is actually at him. All the low-

level nuclear waste that has been developed since the Dounreay

nuclear power plant opened will be contained here. We're talking about

gloves, items of equipment, the building's structure, and other

things that will have been contaminated over the years. When

waste can be placed here. They have had to remove half a million tons

of rock to make these new faults. They will be installing walls of

blood spilt during major operations has been developed by bio-engineers

their own blood back and reduce the need for transfusions. The process,

called Hemosep, is hoping for a slice of the multi-billion-dollar

world like market. This report is not for the squeamish.

Up it is unavoidable. The bigger the operation, the more blood gets

built. After a heart operation, much blood can be left behind. It

has been a costly operation to get the blood back and get it back into

the patient. You first have to prime the back and now we pour in

the blood. The Hemosep Machine stops the blood from settling. It

moves one way and then back in the other direction. The secret is in

preserving the blood cells. In the centre here, we have the plasma. We

Fewer Scots are hitting the High Street. The drop in football is

much higher than the reduction experienced across the UK as a

whole. A squeeze in a family budgets is being blamed. A look now

at what else has been happening across the country this Monday. An

independent inquiry has identified a host of failings in Dumfries and

Galloway Council's handling of a project to develop a residential

child care unit in Cairnryan. The findings reveal that officials made

an offer for the property before local councillors were told of the

plans and the public consultation process was found to be flawed. The

man who died after a house fire in Troon yesterday has been named as

49-year-old Thomas Mill. Investigations are continuing into

the cause of the blaze in the town's Bentinck Drive. The Marine

Harvest comany is planning to construct new fish farms off the

Isles of Muck, Coll and Colonsay. The new developments would be in

more exposed areas than the traditional sea lochs used by the

industry and are said to be more environmentally friendly. A group

of crofters is launching a bid to stop an uninhabited island in the

Outer Hebrides from being handed to the National Trust for Scotland.

Little Bernera is adjacent to Great Bernera. The crofters want to own

both islands and will try to use right-to-buy legislation to block

Little Bernera's transfer. Police are hunting tobacco thieves who're

suspected of up 50 shop raids across south and central Scotland.

In recent weeks they've targeted stores in Dumfries and Galloway,

including last night in Castle Douglas. Police believe the men

speak with north-east of England accents. The before the raid they

The Maybole bypass on the A77 in south Ayrshire took a step forward

today when the invititation to carry out ground investigation

works was published. The bypass will separate local traffic from

vehicles going to the Loch Ryan ports and further afield and it's

hoped will lead to safer roads. And there are more stories from your

area and all the latest news, 24 hours a day on BBC Scotland's

website. Let's turn to sport now and Dougie has the latest. The

Celtic manager Neil Lennon says the proposed sale of Ki Sung Yung will

be good business for the club. Swansea City have had a bid of

almost �6 million accepted for the South Korean, who has made it clear

he wants to leave. But Lennon isn't sure whether he'll get any of the

funds from the deal to reinvest in his squad, as Alasdair Lamont

reports. The Celtic squad has some big players back from injury but

one man not joining them is Ki Sung Yung. The South Korean helped his

country to an Olympic medal this summer but after time off to get

over those exertions he feels it is time for a new challenge. We feel

it is good business on our side. It is unfortunate, he is a talented

player, but it has been our strategy for the last two or three

years to cultivate these players and move them on if they want to go.

Neil Lennon is not sure he will be allowed to use be money to

strengthen his squad. Most clubs have got to strengthen -- service

their debt. I do not think Celtic have any challenge at all already.

Going into the Champions' League it would be important to bring in a

new face. Lennon will have to go with what he has got for the

Champions' League qualifiers. Reaching the group stage might help

loosen the purse strings. Henrik Larsson has admitted he's in a

dilemma and doesn't know which team to support in the Champions League

encounter. The striker, who became known as the Magnificent Seven,

during his hugely successful time at Parkhead, started and finished

his senior football career in his home town, Helsingborg. There is

some flash photography in this club. There are two teams which made it

possible for me. Elsing board gave me the opportunity to come out and

play in Europe. Celtic made my name. It is a difficult one for me --

Helsingborg. Ipswich have made an offer for Rangers' Maurice Edu. The

American midfielder has not featured this season after

indicating he wants to leave Ibrox. Tomorrow night, the rest of the

Rangers squad will be in Falkirk to face the first division favourites

in the Ramsden's Cup - where they'll be wanting to get off to a

better start than they did at the weekend. An expectant crowd, and

then this. He has taken it beautifully! The opener was a bit

of a surprise. I was shocked and I was looking for the hyperspace

button to get us out of there. The boys have to defend better, that is

what I was telling them, but then to look up and see as a goal down

was a bit concerning. Last year Rangers were knocked out of the

League Cup by Falkirk. This time round things have changed for both

sides. Several more players will be joining the club over the next

couple of weeks. When you consider the age of our group and the

experienced players we have lost I think it would be an incredible

achievement if we were to win on Tuesday night. The Experience they

have from the past could be helpful. Maybe the shock to the system of

the reaction we get from opposition players and fans in terms of the

intensity when we go to these games, we are often unexpected for the

intensity of it. He hopes to take the cup from Steven Presley's grasp.

Both Dundee and Dundee United have confirmed they will appeal the red

cards shown to their players during yesterday's Dundee derby. United's

Johnny Russell and Dundee's Steven O'Donnell were both shown straight

red cards for this incident. The home side, Dundee United won the

match 3-0. The Cuban Paralympic team are in Glasgow preparing. It

is their final preparation before heading south. The Zambian squad

also made use of the Glasgow venue before taking part in the Games.

Iraq is synonymous with many things but perhaps not with a national

youth orchestra. Well, there is one, and it was set up four years ago by

a teenage musician who now lives in Scotland. She recruited via YouTube

and the orchestra will soon take to the stage for a series of Scottish

concerts. Our arts correspondent Pauline McLean reports. The sound

of one of the world's newest orchestras bus-stop this girl was

just 17, the musician was living in Baghdad when she felt music was

what her people needed. We had to show a positive side of Iraq. It

sounded like a logical idea but it look -- took a lot of work.

least because music tuition post war is limited. Most teachers had

fled and playing music was not encouraged. It was not acceptable,

especially for a girl. Hopefully it is getting better. They found

support for the project in this girl's new adopted home of Scotland.

Language has been the biggest obstacle but music is helping them

overcome that. As well as presenting a positive image of a

country that has been little understood. We're trying to bring

people over to us and on to our side. Playing music from different

cultures shows we can live together in harmony and peace. This week

they have a new milestone, performing concerts in Edinburgh,

Glasgow and London. To the weather now and Christopher is going to

surprise and delight us all. Nothing to surprise and delight

with the weather I am afraid, unless you like showers! Doody has

been a tale of two hats. Some showers and in the sunshine

actually feeling a bit like summer. In the last hour or so some pretty

heavy and thundery downpours near Peterhead. This week we'll see

showers become familiar. Over the next few hours the showers starting

to slowly fade away leaving a dry overnight. Temperatures around the

rural Aberdeenshire down to around eight degrees. Into the low teens

elsewhere. Some mist and fog developing. Tomorrow there is a

yellow warning from the Met Office. We are expecting many more showers

in comparison to what we saw today. They will be heavy, frequent and

torrential at times with thunder. Temperatures of 20 degrees will

give us a muddy field tomorrow. Where there is localised flooding

it will be difficult on the roads. In between the showers there will

be sunshine but you will be lucky to get that. The showers will

intensify for a time towards evening before finally fading away.

Towards Wednesday the low pressure will still be with us but we will

start to get a westerly flow of hair dropping temperatures. Still

some showers, less heavy and not so frequent, mostly in the West with

the East drier and brighter. By Thursday, our best day of the week,

it will be much more settled. A few isolated showers but predominantly

dry and feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Tomorrow it is all about

the showers! Roll on Thursday! Now, let's recap tonight's main stories.

But Asil Nadir has been found guilty of theft. And man has been

sentenced to life in prison for murdering Jenny Methven. He was

told he will have to serve a minimum of 20 years before he is

eligible for parole. Tributes have been paid to the British-born

director, Tony Scott, his death is being treated as suicide. And the

Duke of Edinburgh is back at Balmoral tonight after a five-night

stay at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he was treated for a bladder
