Maxwell Garvie was a Scottish farmer and businessman who was murdered in 1967, in "one of the most infamous murders in Scottish criminal history". [1]

The following year his wife, Sheila Garvie, and her lover, Brian Tevendale, were convicted of his murder after a sensational trial at the Aberdeen High Court, which included revelations about group sex and drugs.[2]

A third accused, Alan Peters, was found not proven.

Sheila Garvie and Tevendale broke off contact shortly after the trial, they were both released in 1978. They and Peters are all now deceased.
