- Jill's property at Gowan Ave, Fulham was either about to go on the market or on the market. She lived with her fiancee at Bedford Close, Chiswick visiting her own property on random days/times to collect mail and items still stored at the property.
- The night before the murder she spent at Beford Close. She left at approx 10am intending to call into her own property to collect some bits. En route she visited a petrol station and some shops. CCTV shows she was not followed. This suggests she was under surveillance by way of property/phones bugged and/or a car tracking device.
- There's no evidence BG had the wherewithal to carry out covert surveillance eg purchasing equipment (he was living on benefits at the time) fitting the equipment and using it thereafter.
- The cartridge used had clearly been tampered with as per police investigation and expert testimony. The most likely reason for this is that the murder was planned; taking the cartridge apart to remove some of the propellant would reduce the sound of gunshot and backspatter. A hard contact shot to the head would not require high velocity ammo. This negated the need for a silencer which may have been difficult to procure and when attached to a handgun would make it too long to carry in a standard pocket. Attaching a silencer to a handgun shortly before the shooting would be risky.
- Early police reports suggest the soc had all the hallmarks of a professional which it does. A professional could possibly make something look amateurish but an amateur could not make something look professional! An analogy might be golfers who play off scratch playing a round of golf every day for a week and getting beaten by those with double digit handicaps vs golfers with double digit handicaps playing a round of golf every day for a week and beating those who play off scratch! There's no evidence whatsoever BG was experienced with firearms and capable of orchestrating what happened and then remaining undetected for a year (until police desperation set in and BG became the fall guy).
- Jill's next door neighbour, Richard Hughes, observed the perp leaving. He was unable to pick out BG during an id parade.
- Jill's neighbour who lived opposite, Geoffrey Upfill-Brown, also observed the perp leaving. He was face-to-face with the perp for some 4 - 5 seconds. He was also unable to pick out BG during an id parade.
- The early e-fit looks nothing like BG then or now.
- BG's previous convictions involve attempted rape and sexual assault. The soc does not involve a sexually motivated attack.
- The only forensic evidence linking BG to crime has since been discredited.
- The circumstantial evidence linking BG to crime was tenuous to say the least. If it wasn't he would have featured on the police radar much earlier in the investigation.
