I can’t get past the scenario of how Scott would have been able to keep two people so quiet. The two boats rafted onside occupants were woken by Scott when he wanted to party a bit longer, was this meant to be some insane alibi move by Scott? The adjoining boat occupants did not hear any other noises, no voices, no thumps, no scuffles, I think one said they heard an outboard motor receding after Scott wanted to keep partying.

Ian Wishart stated Scott strangled Ben in his sleep, I know they portray Ben as laid back, but geeze! I don’t think anyone is so laid back they would sleep through strangulation, a person would kick out, something, and you know, that would get the attention of the other person (Olivia) who might scream, kind of likely.

There is the claim Scott just sailed off while they were sleeping, I think that’s far fetched too, does he have some spidey sense knowledge that they are very heavy sleepers, not to be awakened by moving through the bay?

The other glaring obvious problem is that wouldn’t Scott just assume he would be easily identified? He had been larking it up since midday, some of it with people who know him and is boat. He is in a water taxi with 5 others (Guy, Hayden, Sarah, Amelia and B/F?) And eventually get’s dropped at his boat.

But a stranger from a strange land so to speak, noone knows him, his boat is moored 250-300 metres out, he is probably not alone on the boat, it now becomes feasible.

I just read that when Amelia and B/F? first gave statements they said there was noone else in the water taxi, no mystery man, no Hayden, no Sarah – Yikes!

so many similarities with the Amanda Knox case. Definitely worth comparing…suspect behaving ‘inappropriately’ at the scene, police deciding to focus on one suspect even though there are other dodgy characters around, blackening of character by media and gossip and finally the prosecution fabricating a story and getting a conviction.

You reckon this looks bad for justice, try the NZ Family Court

We think this version of Justice looks bad.

You might want to have a look at the Family Court sometime there are children doing life sentences every day with no fathers because the poor buggers had to give up or they have suffered so much that their health has deteriorated.

Why Dave?

I note that Scott Watson has been described as a psychopath by the police.

1 in 10 people are psychopaths, look up the term. This does not mean they kill or hurt people.

no

Patrick – a question for you.

Are you a right-leaning journalist, who wants to have John Key’s baby when that medical procedure is made possible?

Does your last name rhyme with tower?

The ketch had not been seen in the sounds before, by the locals, and hasn’t been seen since, which is one of the reasons it was noticed. There are rumours and theories about who it may have belonged to. It would have headed to international waters very easily as the police weren’t looking for it.

Have often wondered if, due to Maritime law, the NZ Police have no jurisdiction in international waters, therefore following that line of inquiry would make them look powerless and weak, it would explain why they didn’t want to go there.
