Wow - I don't check WS for 4 days and it takes me the next 2 days to read all of the 43 pages of discussion that I have missed! You guys are busy sleuthers!!!
As few points in random order that I thought as I read through the 43 page novel....
- DJK being a liar was based on lying about work, which turned out to be the truth. I don't believe the owners story about the police otherwise he wouldn't have said anything, denying he worked there is still talking about him. I think it's my original explanation in that he was a cash in hand employee and the boss was worried about the authorities
Yes, it was more the point that the owner's story was in fact a lie and I do believe that DJK was a cash in hand employee, not a contractor as the owner has stated. Some arse covering going on there!

- I disagree that DJK couldn't over power MH. To me MH looked a bit out of shape in some photo's and DJK at 77kg is well within a healthy BMI for his height.
I agree. It would have been the element of surprise that DJK had on his side. MH didn't see it coming and was incapacited from the first knife blow to the neck. DJK continued to stab until the rage subsided somewhat, grabbed MH's wallet (or the cash at least) and bolted. I don't believe that this was a pre-meditated murder.
- 20 pages back a lot was made of the beautiful girls and many cars that MH has. I don't remember seeing any evidence he even owned 1 car, just that he is into cars and had a lambo at the funeral (hired I would imagine). The girls we have seen are pretty normal looking girls in my opinion, especially if you take out the one photo shopped model shot. Not that being surrounded by, or being friends with, beautiful girls means you're either straight or gay.
I was only thinking about this today. The pics of the girls we've seen who were associated with MH were not glamorous IMO. They looked like ordinary, healthy attractive women but certainly not glamorous. I also agree about the cars, or lack of. I doubt that MH even owned a flash boat. He worked around the harbour constructing pontoons etc. He may have just had a tinnie for that.
- I agree with the comments that JR was probably home and/or got home at a similar time to DJK leaving and LE told MSM to say she was awoken so that he didn't feel threatened that she might have seen him
Good point. I also wonder if DJK told police that he saw a girl entering MH's unit, to cast suspicion on her. Basically saying that yes, he was with MH in his unit but didn't kill him, so the killer must have been the girl who he saw. I don't think he saw JR at all. He was padding out his story with details he'd read in MSM.
- I don't think LE had a clue about who had done it until DJK called them, saying they interviewed and flagged for follow up, is just their way of covering their backs
Yep, absolutely.
- As in all murder cases I see absolutely no relevance of DJK mental state. I believe everyone who kills has something not quite right so to me it's irrelevant and they should get the same prison sentence as they deserve (not special hospital treatment)
Agreed but prison these days is apparently geared more towards rehabilition than for punishment. Locking DJK away with hardened criminals is not going to help him in any way, shape of form if he is in fact suffering from a mental illness. As yet, that has not been established.
Just wanted to add that I do not think that MH was homosexual even though he may have had a sexual encounter with DJK.
All MOO and thanks again for the great work over the past few days
