Suzanne Pillay was captured by CCTV as she found a bus to work at Edinburgh City Center on the morning of 4 May 2010 – but never reached her desk.

It would later emerge that the bookkeeper was taken by his colleague David Gillroy to the basement of the building at Thehisle Street.

A court later heard that he murdered her and hid her body in a ladder.

38-year-old Ms. Pillay recently abolished her year-long secret relationship with Gillroy, which was described in court as rights and manipulations.

The next day the married father-two covered his silver Vaxhall Vectra more than 130 miles from Edinburgh to Elastic, Argil and Butute.

The police used CCTV to map Gilroy’s movements and found that it took him five hours and eight minutes to drive him from Tindrum to Inverery – a trip with 36 minutes.

David Gillroy refused to kill Suzanne Pillay, but was sentenced in the High Court for her murder

Gilroy is believed to have shut down his phone to cover his tracks, it is believed that she buried Ms. Pillay in a remote forest, but has never found any mark despite wide discoveries.

The 49 -year -old was imprisoned for life in the High Court in Edinburgh in April 2012.

He was ordered to be sentenced to at least 18 years in jail and will be eligible to apply for parole in March 2030.

Suzanne’s mother Sylvia Pillay said her daughter’s life had become short.

“She really wanted a family and was never given to her. We remember her every day, so why are we doing this really,” she said in a press conference.

Suzanne’s sister, Gayle Fairgrive said that she lived with the trauma of Gillroy’s actions every day.

He said: “The parole board needs to understand that his crimes are still going on.”

Ms. Fairgrive asked Scotland to go even further and follow the Australia example, where many states have “no body, no parole” law.

The MSP will argue the proposals next month and the victim support Scotland hopes that the law will be passed before the Holiroad elections next year.

Liberal Democrat MSP Jamie Green told BBC’s Good Morning Scotland Program that stop the hideout of a body should be “an important part of the idea” for parole.

Green said: “There are sad families who have been unable to shut down in this process.

“And there are people who see that they can be released from jail, who still know where the remains of their loved ones are till date.

“I think it is morally uncertain. So family and many organizations that support him.”

‘complex process’

Defense Edith Forest Casey told the program that he had every sympathy with the families of the victims who had never met.

But he said that he thought that the proposed amendment to the bill would “make a very little difference on how the parole board arrives in such cases”.

,Rule 12 Especially on prisoners who prevent that kind of information and can they take it into mind. Almost essentially this is actually the information they will consider in parole evaluation.

“The parole board is there to assess the risk, and it is a complex process, and something is the same thing they will see.”

Justice Secretary Angela Constance said that the families had abolished the “terrible journey”.

He said that the Scottish government was “fully committed” to the amendment and “there was no risk of being reduced by water”.

Constance said: “I want to strengthen the law, a law that would require that the parole board should focus on whether a prisoner has not disclosed the remains of his hunting.”

Amendment is also supported by the afflicted support Scotland.

Chief Executive Kate Wallace said: “This is a simple change of a word, but in this way the impact on families losing a loved one will be great.”
