g0012--Billy Torrance; "Carlieth Farm Murders" murder victim authority file

The following inquiry to a geneaology forum could be found at the link below as of 4/28/08:

"Would you know anything about the "Carleith Farm Murder" which happened in Clydesbank, Billy Torrance was murdered by his wife and her boyfriend David Watt. There apparently was a trial, the wife was not found guilty, David Watt was found guilty. This happened in the 1970-1972 range. William Torrance (known as Billy) was the son of Alexander Torrance,(1905) and the Grandson of William Forsyth Torrance and his wife Margaret Miller McLaren. I have scoured the internet and found only pictures, one of the Farm where the tragedy happened, and a couple of people who testified.
Just wondering if anyone could guide me to where I can find this story.
Thank you,
Elaine"
