DS Graeme Mackie, of Police Scotland’s major investigation team, said: “This is a significant development in what has been a particularly challenging inquiry for everyone involved. “Bennylyn’s family have been informed of this development and we will continue to support them at this difficult time as our investigation continues. “The thoughts of everyone involved in this investigation are with them at this time. I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation with what is a large and complex police operation involving many specialist resources from across Police Scotland. “There will continue to be a significant police presence in the area for some time and I would ask anyone with information to please come forward and speak to us.”
