He died earlier from a heart attack, very curious guy whatever you think of him. If he didn’t kill Sophie Toscan du Plantier he certainly didn’t help himself by his attention seeking behaviour.
You can't win with some people. If they didn't advise people there was a murder suspect living in the area, people would be outraged that they weren't informed. If you inform people there is a murder suspect living in the area, other people are outraged that they are spreading fear etc.
On balance the gardai did the right thing.
As for appealing for information on a case, this is common practice. Suppose next they'll want this ruled out too.
look every murder suspect is named, everything is prejudiced after that, just the way it is
Its a long shot...yes. But I've already said that.
However, there is no doubt whatsover that Daniel stood to gain the most from Sophie's death.
This never gets old😁
Honestly, given the overkill and extreme level of violence, whoever did it had mental health issues of some sort.
This murder was much more like the Joe O'Reilly case where an exercise weight was used, an opportunistic weapon used perhaps following an argument or rejection of some sort.
I very much doubt whoever murdered SDP planned it that way, ie to murder her with a rock. Blaming the husband is farcical. I've just been reading that he was married 4 times. Did he try to have the others bumped off too? Of course not.
Ya need to read that again pasted below
The article clearly implies they're strengthening the circumstancial case against bailey
Intruder in this case refers to Bailey
There's no new suspects merely strengthening the existing case file
The point is, it may be prejudicial to the case if you name the murderer, which they did.
Again, this is not my opinion, it's the opinion of the DPP, who looked at this case 3 times.
so thats why they didnt need the gate
I assume they didn't
There would be no need for gardai to whip up fear if there genuinely was a murderer on the loose in the locality. It would be responsible of them to point out that there was a murderer on the loose though.
Seems they can't win with some people.
Personally speaking I'd like to know if there was a murderer on the loose of if my neighbour was a suspect in a murder. I'd imagine I'm not the only one, fear or not.
it doesn't mean they have thrown away the swabs taken from the gate
yeah will look.
An un named source has claimed it was offered back to the family and then destroyed.
Her son claims he knew nothing about that.
6 years of a GSOC investigation couldn't locate it either.
If it was just that on it's own you could write it off as carelessness, but 22 exhibits went missing.
Like you say this was not a closed case, this was very much an open brutal murder investigation.
post an auld link there
Touch DNA profiling has improved.
They should've kept it regardless since the case was open
post being arrested and suspect number 1 in the case that is what you are dealing with
there are still people who think it was him, even after all this time
Yep.
He is the only suspect in the murder and still remains the only suspect.
GSOC were more than generous in their assessment, the DPP not so much.
They certainly cut the pages from the jobs book, yes.
And, of course, the mere act of conspiring to alter a statement, is indicative of the integrity of the investigators. And must, logically, raise questions about the conduct of the investigation.
As Eamon Barnes ( whose credibility is impeccable) stated " the investigation was thoroughly flawed and prejudiced"
nope
There's a big difference between fear created because a murder happening in the area, and police going around putting it about the killer will strike again and could even attack witnesses. That's a level of hysteria being generated as we see with Bill Fuller.
The point re: Bill Fuller is that you're not getting rational opinions from people towards Bailey and these are the people AGS are looking to for evidence against Bailey. Well dodgy.
DNA forensics have come a long way. The blood on the gate, could be more fully analysed today, if it was available.
Didn’t he also write in his diary that he wanted to murder her…
but did they actually do it? No otherwise they would have been charged
It takes an especially depraved human being to bite the lip on his partners face to the point of almost severing it.
If a dog did that to another dog it would be put down.
the public believed it was him, they had every reason to, for obvious reasons
thats all the fear you need
not sure what the point on the bill fuller thing is for
Of course it is.
They got caught conspiring to alter of a statement.
Its difficult to know how relevant or helpful the gate would have been as evidence, save possibly blood spatter which proved where the murder took place. Its unlikely any fingerprints or DNA were recovered from it.
But yes looks like the missing gate is just another myth that has grown legs.
Yeah but he was a known wife beater. Forgot that bit didn't ya. He was vient, unpredictable.
He burnt some of his clothes around that time also. Why did he do that ?
Ask yourself how many times in your life you decided to burn your clothes outside ?
From what I can see it's at least 50:50 as to whether he did it or not.
It is tampering with evidence, as the Jobs Book records the process by which Bailey was identified as a suspect and documents the gathering of evidence such as witness statements.
It relates to chain of evidence and integrity of the investigation.
