So that makes
Annie Wiltshire
Jayne Jensen
Silvia Batista
Charlotte Pennington ... and there was an unnamed barrister who I've seen it said might have been Raj Balu, whether that is the case or not ... with the McCann three friends included that would make about nine sightings.
He must have been doing something or there was something about him to make all these people take particular notice given everything else that was going on.
Hmm...
Annie Wiltshire, no statement, so a source is required.
Jayne Jensen, no statement, so a source is required.
Silvia Batista, statement 15 May 2007, (after Murat was an arguido), thinks there was a man, whom she only got introduced to days later, who might have been Murat. But she gives 3 names to cross-check, as they would know better than her.
Charlotte Pennington, statement 7 May 2007 (before Murat was an arguido), no mention of Murat (why should she when she probably did not know him), more importantly no reference to someone looking on that night while others searched.
Raj Balu, statement made after Murat was an arguido, no mention of Murat.
Neil Berry, statement made after Murat was an arguido, no mention of Murat.
June Wright (named by Silvia Batista as someone who knew Murat). After Murat was made an arguido she gave a statement that she did no see him there that night.
Paul Wright - ditto as per June Wright.
Six of the Tapas 9 failed to indicate that Murat was there that night.
Various policemen who were there that night said they could not recall Murat being there.
This stuff would not pass muster in a criminal court of law. I didn't follow all the who-sued-whom in the civil courts, but it strikes me that we are getting dangerously close to that territory with this thread.
