Schull is full of either hippies or people who think they are from Dalkey or Killiney. Iād say the locals would be good contributors to the RNLI.

Sounds like he had a breakdown of sorts and headed for West cork to try and step out of life for a while.
Whatās this? Iāve only listened to the West Cork podcast, I havenāt seen either tv documentary
A young Italian lady who was a friend of Jules Thomasā daughters appeared on the Netflix documentary. She stayed with Bailey and Thomas around the time of the murder or just afterwards.
Anyway, she was taking a shower and noticed that a black overcoat was soaking in a bucket of water in the bathroom. She found this an odd time of year to be washing such a bulky piece of clothing given the lack of sun and wet weather conditions.
This was the first time I had heard this story also.

That hardly means you committed a murder.
Watch the Netflix doc. Itās not long and is quite interesting in a sad way, if only to see how many strange folk are kicking about. STdPās son seemed a nice man, but some of her family were unusual souls. Schull didnāt seem to have a ānormalā resident (I suspect a touch of gerrymandering by the casting director here)

When you piece it together with everything else though it seems unusual.

I thought it was odd enough to point in his direction, she also saw the scratches and didnāt think they were caused by a Christmas tree.
I donāt really buy a turkey gouging his forehead with its leg, especially as he said the turkeys were string upside down and hanging by both feet.
Iāve only seen the Sky documentary but it referred to him as a writer/poet that was doing freelance journalism as well.
That wouldnāt be overly unusual. Lots of journalists become disillusioned with it in their mid-30 and try out other things but use it to subsidise their income.
Rubbish, sure you wouldnāt fit an overcoat into a bucket.
The West Cork podcast explains a lot more about his back story - a history of inappropriate behaviour, burned bridges, drug-induced oddness, a failed marriage etc. He had basically given up on journalism by the time he moved to West Cork. He showed huge early promise but then destroyed his career.

Par for the course for a huge amount of journalists during the 70s/80s and 90s.
But speaking exclusively to the Irish Sun last night, Bailey responded: āI have a one-word answer to Mr Spilliaert . . . PĆ³g mo thĆ³in.ā
The Manchester-born journalist, 64, added: āThe problem with the French is they never got over the defeat at Agincourt.ā
Maybe this Bailey lad is alright after all.
would that not make the feet at head height for bailey (hes around 6.3)
They had a reconstruction of an overcoat in a bucket.
More how would a turkey strung upside down by the feet (an odd state of affairs as he said he had three strung up thus) manage to kick him in the head. Itās an unlikely story to my mind.
Also anybody who has ever been scratched by a turkey will know that it rarely breaks the skin. Fair sore alright but no blood.
Whereas a briar on the other handā¦
Unfortunately I couldnāt find a good example.
Watched the netflix doc, I thought it was well constructed and produced. Yes, itās all circumstantial evidence but thereās a lot of it and his explanations are just not believable.
The gardai made a mess of the investigation no doubt but that doesnāt mean he didnāt do it.
Heās guilty, it was him, he murdered her.

Itās in the papers now Jules has left him.
Iāve came to the exact same conclusion.The Psycho is that cracked heās after convincing himself he didnāt do it.All psychology students should study him closely.
