Haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, forgive me if its a duplicate. Bad news but an interesting step by police to go public without evidence, hopefully it will cause a real PR backlash against the estate:

A rogue estate has been blamed for the death of a white-tailed sea eagle - the first to be shot in Scotland since 1918.
Sea eagles are Britain's largest birds of prey with a wing span of eight feet
The young bird was one of 15 chicks released into eastern Scotland from Norway in June as part of a five-year reintroduction programme.
It is understood to have been slaughtered on an estate in Angus, which police were refusing to name.
Officers said an informant told them the eagle had been killed on a grouse moor.
