Lots of violent men in that area, so what?

A teenager that was so distraught, he told nobody about it when he got home. You will also note that it his mother that makes the statements in the years later, not him.

DV with a partner does not mean a person then goes on to murder a stranger. It should be noted that his ex-wife said he never hit her. There will have been many people in violent relationships in Cork, does that make them all murderers too then? If you have any evidence that was not given to the DPP, who saw all the evidence and refused to charge him twice, I'd love to hear it, since you have, " too many red flags".

@philipkeeling8647 Why are you assuming I am not calm? Because I don't agree with you? How odd! So what are these, "too many red flags" that the DPP have not seen then? Well?

@acb5245 How do you know witnesses have no reason to lie? Marie Farrell did. Witnesses may lie or be mistaken for all sorts of reasons. Leo Bolger for example suddenly remembers he was there when Bailey allegedly met Sophie, yet he only "remembered" this key information at the time he was being sentenced for having a bunker full of drugs, the one where purely by coincidence he didn't do any time for that crime despite it having a mandatory prison term. The Italian woman who was staying Jules said on Netflix she saw a coat being washed in a bucket. But she actually stated in her statement she had said she saw clothes in the bath. It gets much, much, worse. Detective Superintendent Dermot Dwyer said the coat was burned by Bailey. He is a liar, it was taken by HIM and cut up for samples. It was literally in his evidence room. So yes witnesses DO have reason to lie and DO have reason to be mistaken.

Investigative journalism died when they found that they could just copy and paste from the Internet.

What a load of b0ll0x, the Guards knew when they got to the body. Everybody knew it was Sophie within an hour, her neighbours Alfie and Shirley would have been on the telephone as soon as they discovered the body! A friend of theirs knew before noon and they lived in Cork City! Telephones were a thing you know...

Bailey voluntarily gave blood and hair samples at the time of the murder, so why would he be afraid of DNA testing when samples were sent to a UK testing lab at the time? The French investigation also checked for DNA, the only thing found was a male profile on her boot, obviously not matching Bailey. He didn't appear to be bothered at all about new DNA techniques that could clear him. Why would he be?

@bernadetteflynn5005 What has a completely different case got to do with this and you believing N1ck F0ster's nonsense without bothering to read the DPP report? If you wish to compare cases of Irish corruption then use an Irish one. Joanne Hayes. Now tell me that it can not happen in Ireland. Educate yourself! In the Sophie case when even the PROSECUTION refuse to charge Bailey TWICE maybe, just maybe, it would be wise for you to read their report? But as you said, "There is none so blind as he who will not see. Shame on you." Ironic.

@bernadetteflynn5005 It appears the somebody does not want my reply to be posted. Shocker!
4
@acb5245 So any violent bloke could have then. Like Karl Heinz Wolney who lived half the distance from Sophie than Bailey. Why are you not looking at him then?
4
The issue with online profilers is that they watch Netflix and believe it to be an accurate representation of the facts. They are just as idiotic as the next person.
4
"There is extensive circumstatial evidence on which he was convicted in France." Untested by them, which the Irish DPP rejected. You have to understand the difference between how evidence is tested in Ireland vs. France and only then will you understand why the French trial was fundamentally flawed.
4
"and has form concerning attacks on women. " He has a history of domestic violence against one woman, Jules, not "women". His ex-wife stated that he did not hit her.
4
@philipkeeling8647 "If this happened in UK, they would have nailed him straight away." Nailed him how exactly? Be specific rather than vague. "He was a compulsive liar" We all lie, including you, does that make you a murderer too? "Those couple times he admitted and bragged about it are no coincidence." Except that had you read the context you would know that he was using sarcasm in response to ridiculous accusations being put to him. Why are you comparing the commonality of domestic violence in 90s Cork with the death of a woman that was a complete stranger to him? DV is limited to those you know and likely live with, it does not mean murdering an unknown woman, if it did then much of Cork would be suspect. Is that the best you can come up with?
4
@philipkeeling8647 In other words, you can not address my points. Got it.
4
@philipkeeling8647 " Don't need to, anyone with half a brain knows he was guilty" So the experienced Barristers at the DPP who unlike you have seen ALL the evidence and refused to charge his TWICE, don't have a brain? They are the PROSECUTION legal experts and even they believed the evidence to be so weak that they didn't even charge him, TWICE But you must have evidence that they don't, yes? Well come on then, what is it?
4
It's the Colin Stagg effect, the boys "had their man" and focused on convicting him at the expense of investigating others.
4
@acb5245 The French trial use Farrells statement. So you admit that they used her lies to convict Ian?
4
Ah so he is guilty because he is English?
4
It isn't just the gate that is missing, I mean "destroyed"...there is plenty of other missing evidence too.

@bernadetteflynn5005 Yeah the blind ones that haven't bothered to read the 2001 DPP report on why the prosecution did not even charge him, TWICE. Shame on them indeed! You are so blind that you read Nick Foster's trash and believed it without question. Instead of lecturing people because you believed his BS, educate yourself. READ THE DPP REPORT

Comments are being deleted, now there's a surprise!

Cork is full of scumbags that batter their missus. It does not mean they murder somebody they don't know.

Nick Foster is a hack. He leaches off the family.

@fantasyboxing71 i am ianb now and @valleygirl2530 in here too and another poster he said was too. Hes got to have a list of any1 that doesnt go along with his way of thinking and then spams shit about them. I mean hes said more in these comments like mpat, zed, carpe is ianb too.

@juliad368 Brian is a troll you pillock. Of course he will now say I am Ian, he does it to everybody who disagrees with him. Here is under this video accusing @valleygirl2530 too. "valleygirl2530 Yet you claim the mccann suspect is guilty without a trial.... you're contradicting yourself as usual ian....thought you were all for innocent until proven guilty" Are you new to the Internet or something, the guy is blatantly trolling and you are blind to it?
3
@brianmcginley2743 "Like the evidence you burned out the back of where you stayed the night of the murder with no alibi ian ????" How embarrassing for you Brian McGinley @brianmcginley2743 Now he is dead, you have been proved the sad little troll you are.
2
It must be very embarrassing that those who Brian McGinley @brianmcginley2743 accused of being Bailey are still commenting after his death. Just goes to prove that Brian McGinley is a pathetic troll.
2
@acb5245 The Netflix one was made by Sophie's cousin...
2
@valleygirl2530 LMFAO it is hilarious that Brian has latched on to you now. How are you Ian? How's the heart. 🙂

@acb5245 They are both incompetent and corrupt. Clearly you do not know more than I. In the UK and Ireland the police file is never used in court without first being tested by the prosecutors (DPP). The file is submitted to the DPP AFTER the police investigation. The DPP then test the evidence. The French system differs in that the prosecution are involved in the investigation. Constantly testing the evidence DURING the investigation. The French court, not understanding the fundamental difference, used the untested, unverified police file and took it as fact as that is how their system does it, because the prosecution is testing the evidence throughout the investigation not after it. It is why they used Marie Farrell's lies and village gossip from others to convict Bailey.

"@fredbloggs545 imagine having such low self-esteem " Well @brianmcginley2743 imagine have such low self-esteem and such low public standing that you the troll has to accuse people of being Bailey. How pathetic. The irony...
2
@acb5245 "So who are you then, Jules Thomas?" Just demonstrates how much of a l00n you have become over this case.
1
@acb5245 Yes.

@Christine-rg2ev "If he didn't the police should get on with finding who did." Indeed, however I doubt the cold case team will have much interest in demonstrating that their own colleagues investigation pointed to an innocent person that they then hounded for a couple of decades...
