UK - Alesha MacPhail, 6, raped & murdered, Ardbeg, Isle of Bute, Scotland, 2 Jul 2018 -*arrest* #4

I believe he is very aware and in control of how he presents himself. If you watch the trampoline video into the “bonus footage’ that was uploaded merely to embarrass/humiliate the younger boy who is stuck up the tree, you see an unguarded 2 seconds of him lying on the trampoline obviously unconcerned about the danger the boy is in, making sexualised facial expressions (kissing motions) at the younger girl taking the video. The contrast between the two presentations of self is very striking.

I do see what you mean.

And, to be fair, when I first saw that pic, I already knew who he was, so my way of looking at him would be different than if he was just an unknown face.

One other remark which i did not think appropriate during the trial......

Alesha's mother looks soo much like Alesha

And even more so in some older pictures

Dont suppose we know whether Campbell knew her do we?

Just wondered if his interest/obsession could have actually been with Alesha's mother?

Also worth saying that when she was 18,she looked closer to 14

Or should i just switch my mind off now and get back to watching silent witness on loop??

Suit photo is from earlier in 2018. It was posted Feb 2018, I believe.

Ah ok, I thought it was end of year school party/prom

Still a big change in face in just 5 months, shape much slimmer

I'm glad they named him. He didn't deserve anonymity and to be protected.

Good point.
I had only seen his YouTube and the black and white pic but it seemed a bit edited or softened to me - but not a proper photo.

He appears to have "nice things" huge trampoline, branded clothes etc compared to many we have seen living in the area ..could well be used to getting what he wants

 

[bronzepurple]

That can be strangely attractive though.

Yes some people find arrogant or aloof, detached guys like that attractive, and I've no doubt he could turn on the charm when he found someone/something that he wanted.

I find this to be a quite useful tool for this type of sleuthing

Yes, and Jamie Oliver kitchen knives sound expensive, most people here don't have that kind of branded stuff. His father works as an off shore oil rig worker and they get paid a lot of money because it means they are away from family for long periods of time etc.

I think this is the gaming video described in the media...skip forward to 4:55 when he appears to be acting concerned/sympathetic for the child crying...and then comes across a foetus in the sink...as mentioned in the newspaper article..

The newspaper article made it out to be different. He does seem to be disturbed by it.

I am gonna frame that one

Yes, you are awesome! Your picture makes me think of you like an old school detective.

I think he's putting it on for effect to entertain his viewers IMO...

Yes it said he then went to another house on Ardbeg Road .

This is the quote I was thinking of. It is taken from Court transcripts on February 12.

The court heard Alesha had been staying at an address on Ardbeg Road.
On the same street is the home address of the accused, who we are not naming for legal reasons.

Later in the testimony, is the quote you have referenced -
went to another house on Ardbeg Road

to me, that is the Prosecution indicating that he returned home after committing the murder.

This kid was playing some seriously age inappropriate games, even 4 years ago. No excuse, but I don’t think this will have helped an already damaged mind.

That is going in the frame too

The pic is the great johnny cash.....

Was going to be a picture of my cat - but it was too big.....so i found this picture on some random website for avatar pics under 10kb

I really cannot take any credit for it

I’ve got a feeling the little girl he tried to drown in a pool is his little sister .
