Indeed 'tis me I do post on other site too, well spotted PolkSaladAnnie !! Dont get as much time as I'd like to post but very interesting reading on both of these sites.
I guess until October it will go quiet again on both, there has been a flurry of activity since last weeks events, as expected, but as we wont have much more to go on than we already have for another 5 months I dont suppose there will be much to discuss that hasnt already been covered.
Will continue reading though and adding to the debates when I think I have anything relevant.
See you here or on t'other Polk.
Best ................ Suspicious Minds
Tee Hee ... GOOD MORNING and hello. Yep, it's the detective in me, m'darlin. Skills of a long-time sleuther. And we've got more in common, Suspicious Minds ... this is really an eye opener: hehehe
BOTH ... of us have named our aliases in here after Elvis Presley Songs! How about that!
Here's more of my latest thoughts:
Yes … Tabak’s spare bedroom: if you look at those floorplans, is bang up against Jo’s bathroom and bedroom. Was this his office? Sitting there working at night – on his laptop/pc… The eye of the camera would be very small … . definitely not a cctv set-up.
As I wrote before, burglars can get in. Tabak can get in. But indeed, my theory runs along the lines that *either* he assumed Jo may have followed GR – or would be out until much later that night. He may have been inside her flat … OR Jo discovered the lens. Whatever, I don't think he thought she would be home so soon!
Suffice to say my belief is (making my hair stand on end, I’ll add) Tabak was doing something nefarious. More than making a pass. He’s super intelligent. Why kill someone you came on too heavy with?
It would be his word against hers. No rape was evidenced. But “a sexual motive” means he may have got his rocks off … watching.
Hey, I may be way off the beaten track. Tabak may have been meddling in her apartment … I’ve just never been satisfied that Jo arrives home and within what … 15 – 20 mins is dead or unconscious? No time to even finish a cider?
And he didn’t take the unopened bottle? Booze was not his goal. Self protection was. Is it probable? We don’t know. Possible? Yes.
Few months ago I recall writing”
Eliminate the possibilities – you get probabilities. It’s *possible* he was drunk, yes. Tho I say *probably* not. He rode home from work that evening; he’s a very big, strong, fit man …. and there was not really enough time to get “black-out-drunk” by time Jo returned … then have the wherewithal to borrow a car, move the body, be captured on cctv, etc.
When people are that sozzled, they’re very clumsy – and Jo was not a feint lass. Arm-wrestling, rowing, etc.
So, no, I personally won’t excuse the man with “accidental drunken behavour”. And I trust the Crown are not buying it, either!
Irrefutable evidence? Could be right there on his laptop. Frame by frame. When he moved out (didn’t like that move, myself), he may have tried to hide stuff in loft at E’s place in Aberdeen Road. Just guessing. But now 2 more women are brought into a dark corner. Lord, let’s trust this not to be the case.
This trial, I reckon, will be held in camera; there may be a gag order to protect the identities of others, if that’s the case (referring to lewd & lascivious acts). Just as rape victims identities are protected I went back to why bail was denied. One of the reasons … “witnesses at risk of threat”. Jo, if she was about to become a witness, was murdered. Others?
So, back then, I created a “point-system” in my head to reach means, motive and opportunity:
His job = people flow monitor
Expertise = PhD in … literally … watching people
Location = couldn’t get any closer to Jo & GR's flat
Window of opportunity = setting it up in their absence
Objective = perverse sexual gratification
Then I added in:
His actions
His deception
Moving out (distancing himself)
All the reasons bail was denied
And other nuances. Indeed, here I am … wondering how this “lovely, nice, quiet, influential, affluent, super-intelligent, sportsman” could do this. Simply because those qualities do not make him immune to other lesser qualities.
There’s a first time for everything. BUT …. is this the first time (if my hunch is on the right track)? We don’t and won’t know that. He was caught in the headlights. Bang.
