Here are today’s headlines, a man has gone missing from his home in Aspen Grove... a Jewelers in Winchester has doubled the size of its store... and finally the Winchester Real Ale and Cider Festival is to return this month

First Story:

Trevor Downes, a 47-year-old man, has gone missing after leaving his home in Aspen Grove, Aldershot

It is assumed that he was on his way to work in Guildford in a White Vauxhall; however he has not been seen since

The Police are urging people to come forward with any information of his whereabouts.

Second Story:

A Jeweler in Winchester is celebrating after doubling the size of its shop. Designer jewelers, Justice in Parchment Street, have doubled the floor size in a bid to gain more customers and to free up space.

I spoke to employee Davina and it would appear that the staff is excited for this as they like the freedom to not only display their more high-end jewelry but to enable more discussion with customers which was previously unavailable due to the space [Play Interview]

First Interview - Jewelers

Third Story:

The local community will be happy to hear that the Winchester Real Ale and Cider Festival is returning for another year at the Winchester Guild Hall as it was highly successful last year. 

I spoke to Sarah Webber in the William Walker pub see if they are anticipating the return of this festival, [play interview]

The verdict seems to be that since the tickets are being sold in certain pubs, it is increasing their sales and the local community finds it very appealing



Second Interview - William Walker

Innocence Project - Decision of the Warner Case

The case of Mr. Warner: I think that the CCRC was right to decline Mr. Warner’s appeal and this is because the trail itself was deemed safe, this is important as it means that there was nothing wrong with the way the case was treated, furthermore they can place Mr. Warner inside Mr. And Mrs. Pools home, which is mighty incriminating in itself, especially since he lied about going into the house at all. It is also important to note that Warner had been at the pub the night of the murder and was therefore drunk, he claims that the only reason he went to try and rob them is because the front door was already open, then when he tried to leave he saw someone outside so he decided to use something from a draw to force open the back window in order to escape, which further incriminates him as it puts his fingerprints on the draw where the murder weapon was taken from. His own actions seemed to have condemned him insofar as the day after the Pools were found dead he had washed his clothes and left Easthampton wearing the same boots that he wore previously, which seem to suggest some amount of guilt.

However, it is important to note that there are many loose ends in this case, which are enough to cast at least some doubt. For example, a man who was said to be covered in blood called a taxi the night which was never really developed into anything more, no interviews of this man were conducted, you could just assume that he had been in a fight with someone. Furthermore, it is suspicious that the front door was open before Warner got there because this suggests that Warner wasn’t the only person to go into their home that night and the person who did previously could well have been the murderer, but then on the other hand you could just say that Warner was lying about this. Moreover, there is no incriminating evidence that Warner was even upstairs, which is important because this is where they were found dead and it is apparent that they were also murdered upstairs, the only evidence that had that he could have been upstairs is that the jumper Warner left had fibres from upstairs on it, but this could just be passed off as a piece of contaminated evidence, insofar as someone could have touched something upstairs and then touched the jumper. Furthermore, from the number of times that the Pools had been stabbed, you would assume that would leave a lot of blood on his clothing but his clothes had no blood stains on them at all, however you could argue that he merely kept washing his clothes. So I believe that there is doubt there but not really enough to merit the CCRC getting further involved, they were right to dismiss the appeal.
