THE grieving brother of Sheila Anderson believes her killer will face justice — even if he is never caught.

Devout Christian Harry Gillie said her murderer will face his Judgement Day even if he is never caged for her 1983 death.

Cops identified a DNA profile in 2009 but couldn’t find a match after sex worker Sheila, 27, was found dead after being repeatedly run over by a car.

Harry, 69, said: “There will be justice one day — because I’m a Christian and I believe we all have to be judged one day.

"They will be judged one day, believe in that.

"They don’t get away with it. Somebody somewhere will know but there’s this code of silence.

"He could be dead as it was 34 years ago now. There’s also no chance of catching him unless he commits a crime.

There will be justice one day — because I’m a Christian and I believe we all have to be judged one day"

"They’ve got DNA but they’ve never been able to match it with anybody.

“There was an investigation about 10 years ago but they’ve never really come up with anything.

"It’s a very sore subject for us even after 30-odd years.”

The mum-of-two’s body was found on a track in Gypsy Brae in Granton, Edinburgh — with her dad Henry passing in 2001 without knowing who killed his daughter.

Harry, of Galashiels, told how Sheila was a “very bright” girl before she became addicted to drugs after the death of her mum Jane in the mid-70s.

He said: “She just got in with the wrong crowd, started smoking cannabis and next thing she was onto heroin. She stole off our late father as well. She alienated herself.

“I met her a few months before she died and talked to her and next thing, she was murdered.

“My dad was left heartbroken. She was a really loving person before she was on drugs. She was clever and happy. I was glad my mum was away before it happened.”

Forensics established Sheila was struck by a red car — and believe she may have argued with a client to stop him driving away.

Several days after the murder, a woman called detectives twice to say she had info but on both occasions, she failed to meet police, and didn’t respond to appeals for a call back.

The case was also on Crimewatch in 2009.
