Confession continued
Ackland said he then strangled Bobbi-Anne and took her somewhere to dispose of her thinking she was dead. Ackland said he drove to Bellever Forest and heard Bobbi-Anne so he walked her out of the car proppring her up "like a drunken walk". Bobbi-Anne said she was scared to which Ackland replied "so am I, I've never done this".
Ackland said he 'knew what he had to do' so hit Bobbi-Anne with the hammer 12 times. He said he saw signs of life again and thought "hats off to her" before burning her property. He then put his foot on Bobbi's Anne's throat before feeling that she had died.

I wonder if the area had some significance to him rather than being random. Associated with an ex or his 'troubled' childhoodI think CA's confession has left something important out. When I was reading the updates I assumed Bellever forest and Bovisand must be really close together, but according to google maps it's about an hours drive.

I don't understand why he wouldn't have left the body at Bellever.
He seems to be a sadist.I wonder why kidnapping isn't an an aggravating factor?
I hope they never let him out and I sincerely hope that we don't get a rash of 'murder to cure depression' copycat cases. He is pure evil, poor Bobbi-Anne never stood a chance. RIP. Moo.
