His remains have not yet been located. Today, the two men are scheduled to appear before the Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Between 1972 to 2005, Mr. Coshan served as a professor at Fettes College, which boasts Tony Blair among its graduates.
Mr. Coshan oversaw the Duke of Edinburgh programme there for 33 years, including the first voyage on which a female student participated.
Among those who paid homage to the instructor were former pupils from the £9,275 per term institution.
He was one of my professors and the nicest guy who had time for everyone who needed encouragement, a joke, or simply a good conversation, according to Jozefine Cox. Please assist in finding him so that his family may bury him.
The disappearance of Mr. Coshan was deemed “out of character” and provoked a massive police investigation.
The public is being asked for any information relating to the death of Mr. Coshan by Police Scotland’s major investigation unit.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Patrick stated: “Peter’s family is in need right now, and our thoughts are with them deeply.”
Numerous searches are being made to find Peter, and I would strongly advise anybody with information to get in touch with the police right now.
Please provide police with any information you may have since it might be crucial.
