Police have been conducting door-to-door inquiries as part of their investigation into the unsolved murder of Nairn banker Alistair Wilson.
Mr Wilson was shot on the doorstep of his home in the town’s Crescent Road in 2004. He died a short time later at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.
The murder weapon, a small Czech-made automatic pistol, was found in a drain several streets away.
No one has ever been arrested and no motive for the murder has been established.
But nearby residents were quizzed again this week about what they could recall from the night of the incident on November 28, nearly 12 years ago.
Katherine Paterson, of Albermarle Place, Douglas Street, said: “Officers were in the area on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. They were up the High Street too.
“There is nothing new in the case. They were just trying to get it solved. They just asked if we had heard or seen anything on that night, anything suspicious. But no one heard or saw anything.”
The move comes only days after the new Highlands and Islands area commanded, Chief Superintendent Philip MacRae, took up his post and said he was confident new information would be unearthed which would lead to finding the killer.
Mr Wilson and his wife, Veronica, were putting the children to bed on the evening of November 28, 2004 when the gunman struck.
Mr Wilson was shot three times before the gunman ran off.
The murderer was described as between 35 to 40, stocky and clean shaven and wearing a baseball cap.
The Press and Journal revealed in December last year that police have now interviewed close to 2,700 people in the hunt for Mr Wilson’s killer, and that they are still spending thousands of pounds a year on the case.
In response to a freedom of information request, the force released new figures which revealed that officers trying to catch the culprit have spent close to £15,000 on overtime, hotels, travel and food since April last year.
