Murder at the Cottage | Sky

I think an area that needs to be nailed down one way or another is the report that Bailey said on the night of the murder to Jules he might go over to Alfies and his premonition something bad was going to happen,is it only me or this not explosive ,if it can be held up.

Here's Kealfada from the bridge to the fork in the road, 2km;

Turns 1, 2, 3, and 4 (not counting turnoffs with gates)

All these turn offs are visible in the 1995 aerial maps, I can't tell if they were tarred or still gravel in 1996.

OJ was an innocent man after his trial ,Jimmy Saville died an innocent man,the court here is the court of public opinion ,thats all,and when we peter out Ian Bailey will be an innocent man.

• "My honourable friend that is like a scratched record (excuse the pun), keeps banging on about the said scratches and cuts.. But they are completely irrelevant at this stage. Even if Bailey did kill her, no proof will ever be gained from his hands."

I asked was the conflicting reasons given for the headscratch resolved.... They haven't been despite your repeated babbling. You are the broken record 😂

I specified forehead cut... Yourself and the other expert didn't even know about the conflicting statements it seems.

The garment soaking in a bucket isn't a new lead. You could familiarise yourself with the case prior to babbling....id suggest you... Read the thread TBH.

The French thing is the babe Marie picking out someone from photographs Jim was showing her. Nothing to go with Sophie's ex. You can stop wondering about that now.

Has anyone been able to identify where this Hunt's Hill is?

Looking at the local topography I can't see how it would have been possible to see Alfie's house from anywhere on the route from Schull to where Jules and Ian lived.

You have to travel three quarters way up the cul de sac before you can see Sophie's or Alfie's house because they are tucked into a cleft in the hill. Being able to see and pick out either from somewhere between three and ten km away is difficult to square.

Clarifying this might throw some light on the credibility of the claims, disputed by Jules, of Ian thinking about going over to Alfie's or having a premonition about something bad going to happen.

🕵️‍♂️

What you are suggesting is a hitman scenario where one person is giving another person directions to go and kill sophie.

So who do you think those people are? Since it is not any of the locals who know the area well...

You really are like a scratched record... Seriously, you are!

The head scratch that obviously keeps you awake at night.... It might have been a stick, a branch, a turkey...?? Who cares??

Did we not already discuss the hairline scenario..?? Either you don't accept that reasoning, or you can't comprehend something that differs from your own personal views on the matter.. Either way, I couldn't care less.

You are clearly not up to date.. During the summer, a 'new' witness came forward alleging there was a dark garment soaking in a bucket in the kitchen.. This witness had not made a previous statement, hence the wording 'new lead'.

I suspect you are no more than a troll...? Or maybe a 10yr old child messing on Mammy's laptop??

🕵️‍♂️

Is this shut indefinitely? Thank you

I'd recommend everyone watch the Netflix documentary aswell as both of them together gives a good overall insight.

Overall definitely should have been an actually trial, think DPP made a mistake there but then Gardai also messed up / were unlucky with maintaining some of evidence.

The 'bonfire' definitely happened after the event. Jules said in this programme oh it was Oct or maybe Nov but very clear from Netflix one that it was fresh fire from pictures they had.

Once again biggest evidence against him for me is Bailey himself. I'm even more convinced now he did it.

Very strange scenario of body being found around 10am at time when no mobile phones etc yet both Jules & Bailey telling people shortly after this in town etc that body of French woman found+ driving to scene but word on ground at time was only that is was a foregnier not French person until later on.

Then of course the amount of witnesses that reported Bailey saying he did it was unreal.

The way he tried to justify his domestic abuse against Jules was sick. Basicially saying sure she was to blame not just him.

We would have never have know all this detail only for civil case against newspapers.

Now in fairness, I wouldn't put it pass Gardai at the time to have harassed him a bit as he said + they were probably getting frustrated because he wouldn't confess but that doesn't mean he is innocent.

Definitely don't agree with French court system, that's just mad way to convict someone.

You should wait a few days and ask a dermatologist if there are any visible markings. If there are none you might very well be Ian Bailey!

"Knowing where it is I could give idiot proof instructions how to get there from Schull in four short sentences.
It's the only turn off along a 1.5km stretch of road. You would want to be trying really hard to go astray on a stretch of road where there is no other turn off."

There is no 1.5 km stretch of that road with only one turn-off.

And this from Bamboozle;

"FFS. Turn off the coast road at Kealfadda bridge, about 3/4 of a mile up turn left. The house is the first one you come to. A child could find it on a tricycle."

Firstly , the road is Kealfada, the bridge is Ballyrisode Bridge

and as someone who set out to kill Sophie with your directions ... well... look at the map from 1995 below;

What I'm saying is;

the house would be difficult to find in darkness, by anyone not familiar with the locality in 1996.

This leaves us with someone local and someone who has visited the house like Bruno and the Frenchman

who visited the house with a view to buying it before Sophie.

I don't know if Daniel D. P. would know be able to give directions to a hitman.

It's easy to find the house now with your Google maps and Streetviews and Eircodes and L. roads numbered.

Directions then would have been mostly visible ones; Bridges , pubs etc. and stopping to ask directions.

I'd like to know what directions Alfie gave the Guards for instance,

and how the Guards directed the Priest and Doctor to the right place, and it would be daylight then.

It doesn't mean that it's not someone outside these groups, but it is a major factor.
