Initially, the remains could not be identified and it wasn't until a facial reconstruction was circulated by the media that they were later confirmed as those of 60-year-old Ean Coutts.

Ean had last been seen on 2 September 2019.

Ean's cause of death could not be determined but a forensic pathologist told the court there were areas of charring to soft tissue and bone.

"And I wanted him to see that me and his daughters were there because Ean had a family and I want him to see that - he had people that loved him."

Ean was married for more than 10 years before his relationship broke down.
