Richard Satchwell Found Guilty

Just said he's appealing and despite what was said in court Tina was a nice person. He didn't speak it was said through his barrister

this is the old thread, posts of the remains found and upgraded to murder start at page 16, post 455. circumstances were not clear in the beginning if remains were found in the garden of the neighbour but unisono info at the end were plumbers in the neighbouring house doing some work on drain pipes found suspicious material. maybe some links are not there anymore due to newspapers made them unavailable or so.

how do you know it wasn't true? How else did the guards get a search warrant for the house of RS and dig up the living room? Hard to say these days what's true or not, can't even trust the guards stories I think. They searched the house but didn't detect the fresh poured roughly 1sqm, 1m deep concrete patch. Fresh concrete has a distinctive smell, stays for some weeks, especially in a damp, old house like this and there was his concrete mixer. They must have noticed it was used recently. Why did they not ask him what he's done and where the fresh concrete was placed and check on it.

Fishy altogether and that was my perception 2017, comes back actually that feeling.

He's a lorry driver and still had that job after Tina 'disappeared'? Who employed that shady figure and what goods did he deliver. Was never mentioned anywhere…

It's my understanding that they rarely refer to a defendant as 'unemployed', as long as they have ever held a job.
You worked 6 weeks as a barman, then unemployed for 10 years. The courts and by extension the media reporters will refer to you as a barman. Perhaps 'unemployed' is regarded as potentially negative for a defendant?
It was similar with Josef Puska being referred to as a labourer, despite no indication that he had ever worked in Ireland.

Seen on The Journal, related to this case and future similar ones - may have been a factor in why cadaver dog not used initially?

GARDA COMMISSIONER DREW Harris has said the force will look into acquiring a full-time cadaver dog in order to avoid being reliant on other police forces when searching for bodies.  Speaking to reporters at Garda Headquarters this morning, Harris was asked if the force would benefit from having a dog available to help search for bodies at all times. At the moment, An Garda Síochána makes use of a dog from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).

RTE version https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0609/1517477-cadaver-dogs/

"He said while An Garda Síochána might consider one in the future, as it does not want to be reliant on others, but then other police services might then seek to rely on gardaí."

Huh?

Whatever about the cadaver dog, they took a laptop and a phone from the house in 2017 and if I understood the reports I read correctly nobody checked to see what was on either of them till the new team took over 4 years later.

Did the original team take Satchwell at his word that she walked out on him or why would they remove items from the house and not investigate them any further. Its seems pretty basic work wasn't carried out.

“explaining away or justifying the catalogue of errors”

That’s all I’ve ever seen him doing - An Garda Siochana have gone backwards since he joined, which is some fcking achievement given where they were

We can’t possibly have faith in something like the Sophie murder investigation with Bailey lead suspect when clearly Gardai are illustrating their incompetence time and time again in murder investigations - right up to the latest one in Kerry
