Dressed in tight-fitting cycling shorts, a yellow fluorescent jacket and a grey cycling helmet, the 32-year-old architect was keen to stop and talk last weekend and told how everyone in the area was very sad about Joannas death.
He said since she disappeared he had only been back to the flat at weekends. He had been cycling in the Clifton area, before briefly popping into his flat in Canynge Road, which joined on to Joannas basement apartment.
I only come back here at weekends for now with all the upset, he explained. I wasnt here on the night she went missing, I was away and I dont know anyone who saw or heard anything.
Its very upsetting that something like this has happened. This is a nice, safe, friendly area.
