    You would hardly murder somebody over retrieving a bag of drugs..?

    1. Regardless if seen or not, your word against theirs… It was a bag of knock off ciggies I bought down the pub. You'd be long gone with the 'ciggies' before the Plod turned up, then its all hearsay.

    2. If it was a genuine drug collection point, could anything be worse than leaving a blood splattered corpse on the driveway.. Nothing like drawing attention to yourselves.

    3. The remote location that it was, there would be plenty of abandoned outbuildings dotted along the Peninsula, would you really select a pumphouse in view of several properties?? And also risk the 'who the f*ck are you' by inquisitive neighbours.

    I wouldn't do it but a drug dealer(user perhaps) would to save themselves jail or trouble anyway I don't think it started out as a desire to murder. You want a spot that's easy to access, dry and near enough to your market. I don't think the pumphouse was in the view of any properties except Sophie's. The person(s) may have been local so no remarks on being around from time to time.

    Main reason a criminal would murder, and not just scarper, is if they could be ID'd by the victim, meaning she knew who they were. If there were criminal activity going on in the vicinity it would have to be someone connected to the area. A randomer wouldn't just roll on up to an unknown location leaving drugs about. The list of suspects wouldn't change very much in this case imo. Wouldn't have to just be drugs either. All sorts of shenanigans can go on, smuggling, backhanders, money laundering etc. Don't think it was criminal activity though imo.
