He had been stripped naked

Court Of Appeal Judges Judgment Demonstrates Inconsistencies In Corinne Mitchell’s Story
However the 2008 court of appeal judgement had previously described a different version of events.
The appeal court judges indicated in their written judgement that killer Luke Mitchell did not give his permission for his clothing to be taken until after he had concluded his 22 page written witness statement.
An excerpt from paragraph 159 of the 2008 court of appeal judgement stated:
At the conclusion of the interview with the accused, which was not under caution and in respect of which evidence had been led without objection, he agreed to the taking of his clothes by the police and the examination of his person and the taking of a blood sample by a police surgeon
What Year & Date Did Neil MacKay Visit With Killer Luke Mitchell?
Neil MacKay, who chose to appear in the 2021 channel 5 two part TV innocence fraud show titled Murder In A SmallTown, stated at the time sadistic killer Luke Mitchell chose to commit his murder of Jodi Jones🌻 “there was a moral panic around teenagers listening to music their parents found disagreeable”.
It is not known if Corinne Mitchell was aware of this alleged “moral panic” at the time her youngest son Luke Mitchell chose to commit his murder, however Neil MacKay also stated;
As a reporter, I later visited (Luke) Mitchell in jail, and spoke with his mother
Special Permission To Visit Murderer
It is also not known when exactly Neil MacKay visited with sadistic killer Luke Mitchell.
However what is known is that in order for Neil MacKay to visit with killer Luke Mitchell he would have required “specialpermission” to do so.
Killer Luke Mitchell would have also been required to put in an application to his prison Governor to obtain permission for a visit with Neil MacKay.
It is also not known when exactly Neil MacKay spoke with Corinne Mitchell and what exactly the killer and his mother Corinne spoke to Neil MacKay about.
Why Would A “Senior Police Officer” Linked To The Investigation Allegedly Contact A Random Glasgow Based Reporter “In The Run-Up To Mitchell’s Trial”?
Neil Mackay stated in his February 2021 article for the Herald that he was “a reporter” at the time killer Luke Mitchell committed his murder.
According to a bio on Neil MacKay here it states that he was “originally from Antrim, in NorthernIreland” and “worked in Belfast before moving to Glasgow in 1996”.
Neil MacKay stated;
I was investigations editor with the Herald newspapers at the time of the Jodi Jones murder, and I appear as a interviewee in the documentary Murder In A Small Town.
In the run-up to (Luke) Mitchell’s trial I received a very strange phone call from a senior police officer in which I was told a number of unsubstantiated and shocking claims about Mitchell.
I was told Mitchell was definitely guilty.
In all my years as a reporter – covering some of the most serious crimes in recent British criminal history, including major terrorist offences – I’ve never received such a phone call from police.
A lot of the telephone conversation centred on (Luke) Mitchell’s love of Goth music and his alternative lifestyle.
What articles did Neil MacKay write and have published in 2003, 2004 and 2005, if any and why would a “senior police officer” linked to the investigation allegedly contact Neil MacKay, a random reporter in Glasgow about sadistic killer Luke Mitchell?
There is no evidence anywhere to suggest Neil MacKay even attended the killers 2004/05 trial.
The Herald Reporting

Part 195 can be read by tapping on the button below;
From Reporting Text Message At 10:20pm Then Changing It To 10:41pm Almost A Month Later
Then almost one month after Judith Jones gave her evidence, detective constable (Dc) Alan Towers was called to give evidence in regards to the killers evidence.
Almost a month after the jury were told Judith Jones texted killer Luke Mitchell at 10:20pm the Herald published the following excerpts;
Detective Constable Alan Towers, 43, said that Mr Mitchell wrote a statement which ran to 22 pages.
A text message to his mobile from Jodi’s mother at 10.41pm the previous night first alerted him to the fact that something was wrong, he said.
The jury heard how Mr Mitchell then met Jodi’s grandmother, sister and the sister’s boyfriend, and continued searching along the wooded Roan’s Dyke path in Dalkeith, Midlothian. “They were panicky, ” he told Mr Towers
The statement, read in court by the detective, continued:
“We walked past the V-shaped break in the wall and a few yards past that, not even 20 yards past that..

Why did the Herald go from reporting Judith Jones text message as being sent at 10:20pm on the 27th November 2004 to then adding almost 21 minutes to this time, almost a month later?

However convicted rapist Sean Parker, who was referred to in Parts 235 and 236 of this ongoing blog series (which can be read by tapping on the buttons below), chose to deceptively morph the “prison officer” into the “prison Governor”;
Personally I think that’s a very justifiable place
And obviously erm is to be fought in a court
But it shouldn’t be done by a prison Governor
Saying I don’t care what the law says
That’s erm of course of interest
