She said no, I was never afraid of Ian, never. I was pissed off with him, but never afraid of him. I find that statement weird. Never? Really? Not when he was battering you around the head so viciously that a large patch of your skull was left bald, your eye was almost dislodged from its socket and your lip was torn from your gum? Never ever afraid of him? Right.

If he was smart & committed the crime, he would have kept his mouth shut, refused to report on the crime making up an excuse, refused to go a local christmas swim & not admit jokingly that he did the crime to a teenager & many other things.

Sky one was good overall, but yes less of Sheridan. It will do wonders for Cork tourism if nothing else, stunning footage. Netflix one is a total hatchet job on IB. No context at all given to some of the evidence against him.

MoonUnit75 wrote: » Her first statements after her arrest were probably the closest the gardai felt they ever got to solving the case. Before her arrest all they had was Bailey arriving home and going to bed with Jules for the night. After JT's interview they had: - a statement showing his previous alibi was false - that he had not only got out of bed, but had left the house - that he had a cut on his forehead that wasn't there the night before - that they had stopped on the way home on the night of the murder, after taking a detour, to 'admire the view' on a hill from where Sophie's house could be seen - that Bailey had remarked that a light was on in Alfie's house while parked on the hill - that he suggested they go over to Alfie's that night - that JT's daughter gave a statement that they both left the house the following morning for around 2 hours when they said they were both at home
