The man accused of murdering a Perthshire pensioner was \"gobsmacked\" to learn a partial profile of his DNA was found on her wrist, a court heard. <\/p>\n
The jury was read parts of William Kean's police interviews which took place in March, the month after 80-year-old Jenny Methven was found dead. <\/p>\n
Mr Kean, 46, denies killing Mrs Methven at her Forteviot home on 20 February. <\/p>\n
He has lodged a special defence blaming the victim's son David Methven, or others connected to him. <\/p>\n
The High Court in Glasgow heard Mr Kean told police during the interview that he did not assault Mrs Methven. <\/p>\n
Det Sgt Brian Smith had told the accused he was offering him a chance to explain what had happened. <\/p>\n
Mr Kean denied murdering Mrs Methven but replied \"no comment\" when asked if he had been in her house and then refused to explain that answer. <\/p>\n
He also told officers that if he knew who was involved in her murder, he would tell them. <\/p>\n
Mr Kean had said to officers: \"I wish I did. I wish someone would come forward and admit it. It's a sad time for everybody.\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
