Along with our genuine sympathy for the family and friends of the victim, we the undersigned are also extremely concerned that a terrible injustice has been done to Brendan Dixon. We strongly believe in his innocence and pray that in the interest of truth and justice the Prime Minister, Scottish first Minister and justice Minister will intervene in the conviction and subsequence sentence.

In the absence of relief sought being granted, that of vacating of conviction and sentence, we plead for a full and unconditional pardon or retrial be granted to Brendan Dixon post haste, and that Strathclyde police U-Division, Pitt Street Glasgow and St Marnock street Kilmarnock reveal every detail that has been hidden in this case about the killers of Margaret Irvine.

There is evidence withheld in this case that could have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Brendan Dixon never committed the Murder of Margaret Irvine in 2003, and that others known to Strathclyde Police committed the crime.

We call on the Prime Minister, Scottish First Minister and Justice Minister to intervene in the case of the innocent men held in connection with this Murder, and order the release of details held of everything relating to the case of Mrs Irvine, and operational matters of U Division, Strathclyde Police regarding their dealing of the case and for them to carry out the threat of taking DNA samples that they said they would do before the arrests of the Men convicted of this serious crime, and find the match for the DNA that they recovered.
