Peter Coshan retired from his job at the prestigious Edinburgh school in 2005.
A “frail” retired teacher is said to have been targeted by thieves he met online shortly before he was allegedly killed in a flat in Edinburgh and his body dumped, a murder trial heard.
He is then alleged to have concealed the body in the Edinburgh area for a number of days before putting it in a stolen suitcase and driving it to a layby on the A696 between Otterburn and Belsay in Northumberland. He said that at one meeting in 2022 Mr Coshan, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, told him he been having IT problems.
Mr Ross added: “He didn’t tell me the name or anything but I’m pretty sure he had met that person on the dating site Silver Daddies.” She added: “His mobility had been affected a good deal. He found it difficult to move at any speed in a secure fashion and it was obvious when you were speaking to him that his face had become immobile, which is one of the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
The court earlier heard that Mr Coshan had called a taxi to take him to the Seafield Road address at around 11.30pm on August 11 2022, and arrived there shortly before midnight.
