Scots cops charge man 30 years after mystery death of young mum
Shona Stevens was found dying just meters from her home Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PENSIONER who was arrested in connection with the mystery death of a young mum 30 years ago has now been charged. Shona Stevens was tragically found dying just meters from her home in Irvine, Ayrshire, on November 10, 1994. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Shona Stevens died in November 1994 Credit: POLICE SCOTLAND 3 She was found critically injured on a footpath near Alder Green, in Irvine, Ayrshire Credit: POLICE SCOTLAND The 31-year-old was discovered on a footpath near the rear of Alder Green in the Bourtreehill Park area of the town. She was rushed to hospital, but sadly passed away three days later. Shona was living with her mum and her daughter, Candice, who was just seven at the time. She had briefly left the house to nip to the Co-op shop in Bourtreehill Shopping Centre around lunchtime when she was allegedly attacked. She was last seen walking home alone along Towerlands Road at around 1.10pm. But three decades after detectives were left baffled, police yesterday revealed that a 67-year-old man was arrested in connection with her death. And today, Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team have confirmed that the pensioner has now been charged. He is now expected to appear at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court sometime on Monday. Senior investigation officer Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Gillies said: 'I would like to thank the members of the local community who assisted us in our inquiries. 'I am grateful for their information and input, which greatly contributed to our investigation.' I thought mom abandoned me as a baby but she'd been left 'without a face' in brutal murder - cops 'can solve it & won't' The major breakthrough in the cold-case murder comes after mum Mhairi and Candice launched a plea for answers last year. The heartbroken family urged anyone with information to come forward and speak with officers. "We still want justice for Shona, and your help would be greatly appreciated. "We know it has been 30 years since Shona was taken from us but to us it seems like only yesterday. "There is not a day that goes by that she is not in our thoughts and in our hearts. 'If you remember noticing or seeing anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, no matter how small, please let the police know. ' Investigators previously said the key to solving the case was in the community and Crimestoppers stumped up a £20K reward. In a previous appeal, DI Gillies said he believed "the person responsible has local connections". He said a number of "forensic investigations" were also being carried out, during a statement in November last year. He said the force "remains focused to ensure that justice is done". Appeals for information have also featured on the BBC's Crimewatch.
