The bodies of three soldiers were found in a heap next to a reservoir in Scotland 's Pentland Hills .
The men were discovered beside a small derelict house at Loganlea reservoir .
They were initially thought to be the victims of a terrorist attack.
But evidence pointed to Andrew Walker , a long-serving corporal instructor from The Royal Scots , who was 30 at the time.
Walker had been desperate for money and thought he could make it look like an IRA attack and robbery.
Col Clive Fairweather spotted the bullet cases in the back of the bloodied Land Rover .
Col Fairweather was second in command of the SAS operation that stormed the Iranian Embassy in 1980 .
Witness had also come forward to say they had seen four men in the Land Rover outside the bank.
Walker denied his crimes but a jury in Edinburgh found him guilty of the murders.
