SIO Craig Dobbie;
“(Luke) Mitchell told police that his mother Corinne and brother Shane were using the stove that night. Corinne said it was not being used and Shane was not able to say either way.
Why not?
So what exactly was Shane Mitchell up to on that evening between 5:16pm and 6:20pm
Who did Shane Mitchell phone at 6:04pm?
Did Shane burn anything in the back garden that evening?
“LUKE Mitchell's brother recoiled in horror yesterday as he was shown gruesome pictures of Jodi Jones's naked and mutilated body.
Shane Mitchell, 23, was confronted with the shocking images in court.
He turned away after being shown the first photo and immediately asked for a break.
Shane sat in the witness box sipping a glass of water and wiping tears from his eyes before he had to look at another four photos.
He then admitted that, when he returned home on the day that Jodi died, he watched porn on his computer because he thought he was alone in the house.
Luke Mitchell, now 16, denies murdering Jodi, and maintains he was in the house when she died.
Shane told the High Court in Edinburgh that, on June 30, 2003, he arrived home at Newbattle Abbey Crescent, Dalkeith, Midlothian, at 4.50pm.
He said he went upstairs to his bedroom and watched porn on the internet.
Advocate depute Alan Turnbull, QC, told Shane he had no desire to humiliate or embarrass him but he wanted to know if he did anything else at that time.
When Shane said he wasn't, Mr Turnbull asked him to look at photos of Jodi's body where it was found near the town's wooded Roan's Dyke path.
As he glanced at the first photo, Mr Turnbull stated: 'I am not surprised to see your reaction. You looked a bit horrified and looked away, didn't you?
Shane replied: 'Yes.' Mr Turnbull added: 'These are not pleasant.The reason I asked you to look at these is so you can appreciate what we are dealing with. Do you understand now?
'Do you appreciate I can't let embarrassment stand in the way of getting to the bottom of this?'
Again, Shane replied: 'Yes.' The witness then admitted he had been engaged in a sex act while watching porn.
He agreed with the prosecutor that he wouldn't have done that if he thought anyone else had been home.
Mr Turnbull asked him: 'On that evening,about4.55pm,who did you think was in the house?'
Shane told him: 'No one at that time.' The advocate depute then asked: 'Did you see Luke when you went down after the internet session?'
The witness told the court:'I genuinely don't remember seeing my brother. He could have been there.'
Shane said his mum arrived home about 5.15pm and he joined her downstairs.
Mr Turnbull read out a police statement from Luke Mitchell in which he said he had tea with his mum before leaving the house at about 5.30pm to wait for Jodi.
His mother was present at the interview and, when police asked if he had eaten with Shane, his brother had asked her: 'Shane wasn't there, was he?'
His mum had intervened: 'No.' Luke had then added: 'Shane was not in when I left.'

Killer Luke Mitchell did not leave the house at 5:30pm that evening, he had already left around an hour earlier (possibly on his missing push bike) to meet with Jodi Jones
Killers family members can and do lie
Killer Simon Hall’s brother Shaun Hall concocted stories similar to Shane Mitchell
For example, referring to the day his brother had committed his murder Shaun Hall stated to the police;
“
I remained at home with Leigh and X for the rest of the day and overnight in to Sunday morning, 16th December 2001, when at about 9.30am my father collected me in his company car along with Simon
We three then returned to Capel St Mary to collect my mother, from where we then continued on to Lincolnshire
We all had lunch together with my maternal Grandparents, Raymond and Joyce *******, and my mothers brother Steve, and his wife and daughter, X and X *******.
There were about eight (8) other persons present whose names I cannot recall
After lunch (at a pub, the name of which I do not recall), we went on to my Grandparents’ home, where we remained until about 5pm
My parents Simon and I then travelled back to Suffolk, where they dropped me off at home at about 7.30pm
I recall later that evening, my mother telephoning me on 01473 ****** and telling me that Joan Albert - a friend of hers from Capel St Mary - had been found dead
“I do not recall anything unusual about Simon over that weekend, other than the usual, he had no moneyhttp://theerrorsthatplaguethemiscarriageofjusticemovement.home.blog/2022/06/12/quite-a-hall-tale-part-12a%ef%b8%8f/None of the above happened.
Shaun Hall made the whole thing up
His adoptive father Philip Hall had already told the police Shaun Hall had not been with them that Sunday and Shaun Hall’s then girlfriend Leigh had also confirmed Shaun Hall had remained home with her.
There was also no evidence of Lynne Hall having telephoned Shaun Hall that evening.
Why did Corinne Mitchell choose to lie about her son Shane Mitchell being at home that evening?
