One neighbor described Mrs Fell and Mr Fell as “very caring couples”.
She said, “They were truly devoted to each other.” It was clear to see that Mr Fell would push his wife into the car, in her chair, and be very tender with her.
“They both were very kind, caring and humble people. Everyone who lives here has been shocked by this.
“You may hear about these happenings, but you never know when it might be at your doorstep.”
Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team’s DCI Kevin Houliston stated that: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of Mr. Fell and those who were affected by this tragedy.”
“Although officers may still be in the vicinity to continue their inquiries, this incident was contained so there wasn’t any risk for the general public.
