Likely to be coincidental, but regardless still interesting there could be two (well, three) murders so close together in such a rural area:
"The hamlet, surrounded by fields, lies less than three miles from the village of Chillenden where Lin Russell and her six-year-old daughter Megan were killed in a savage attack in July 1996 while walking their dogs"
That said, Michael Stone has always professed his innocence, he was convicted based on evidence from a prisoner who claimed that he confessed to the murder while in prison for an unrelated crime. There was never any forensic evidence, or any other evidence I believe.

Reading anything on the Michael Stone case brings questions to mind. "The hamlet, surrounded by fields, lies less than three miles from the village of Chillenden where Lin Russell and her six-year-old daughter Megan were killed in a savage attack in July 1996 while walking their dogs"

I'm not suggesting these two cases are connected, bt i'm not convinced Stone was the right man.

Not much noise from the press on this one, sadly they seem more interested in wallpaper. I wont hold my breath for the peaceful mass vigil in Clapham Common or similar...
Wallpaper is yesterdays news, the big story for today is Boris hasn't changed his mobile phone number for a few years.98elise said:

the unremarkable theory that the crime was probably committed by a stranger, well thanks Sherlock.
Did they initially think it was a family member ?
Doesn't bode well, they are setting out their stall of having bugger all evidence.

Why wouldn't they? A stranger murder (where the suspect isn't in custody) is important information for the public to know. the unremarkable theory that the crime was probably committed by a stranger, well thanks Sherlock.
Are you guys reading it that the culprit is a stranger to the Police?

In today's newspaper, is the possibility of a dognapper attempt, which went wrong. There appear to have been some dogs stolen in the local area - including the fake RSPCA van, though that could have been the reporter reading the local facebook group.
It's possible, I expect she would have put up a fight as she'd have been trained in self defence.

One week on and still no motive for the killing of Julia, and no arrests.. Nothing can be worse than this case going "cold" so soon.
As a vigil is being prepared, police are warning locals to inform someone of where they are going and the route taken..! Can' t imagine the concern and worry of the locals there right now....

FYI Stone was totally innocent. At his retrial the judge told the jury they have to decide based on whether the "confession" was true. There was no other evidence.
Levi Bellfield probanly did the Chilenden murders. A beige Ford was seen. Levi's gf had one and it went missing days later.
