Well yes, that's exactly the point isn't it? I was adopting a tone that was both professional and dispassionate which was entirely appropriate in answering the question that I believe you asked; it would not be a tone that was appropriate to adopt in speaking to a journalist about the death of my next door neighbour. The fact that I understand that difference, but that Tabak did not, is the point.
And having read what I wrote back on the 15th January, I was right wasn't I? She was killed sometime on the evening of the 17th December, her body was dumped shortly thereafter, and the murder was opportunistic.
Absolutely Aneurin. I was only teasing. And indeed re-reading your old posts your predictions were very close to what the trial has revealed. And I for one have greatly appreciated your contributions throughout.
Having said which I am rather proud that somewhere in the very early posts on Joanna's death there is one on which I guessed that the killer would prove to be a close neighbour who told police he had spent the evening at home reading a book. I think that in reality version 2 of Tabak's story in fact turned out to be that he spent the evening at home watching TV.
