I have been waiting for this trial because with the little information we had before I couldn’t wrap my head around what on earth happened here.
Apart from the senseless cruelty and callousness of the alleged killer, what really stands out to me is how extraordinarily dim this guy is. An absolute himbo through and through.
First, he planned to do this in the Uk while seemingly not speaking English too well (had to use google translate with the people that offered to help and the name of the van driver he contacted is Spanish). He then films the crime in multiple cameras. Attempts and fails to send money to his own account in Colombia. Apparently he wanted to sell the house (how he figured he’d be able to do that I don’t know). Disposes of evidence in the communal bins. Then hires a van to go to Brighton, but changes his plan and goes to Bristol ( part of me wonders if he got the two confused). I have to think he saw a picture like this
and thought it was just a bridge in the woods.
For those that are not familiar, even though there’s no residences directly next to the bridge, there’s plenty of houses close enough. Also, it’s a popular landmark . There’s staff there around the clock too because unfortunately people have jumped from there in the past. The whole length of the bridge between the pillars has a wire fence on that is over two meters tall, and even if he managed to throw anything from
there, chances are it’d land on mud and not flowing waters. But anyway, the part where he tried to throw the suitcases, they would had landed in the woods a few meters below. Oh, and the suitcases had the victims name and address on them!
It’s truly astonishing
