The Devils Own: What The Public Didn’t Know About The Garden Fires At The Time Of Sadistic Murderer Luke Mitchell & His Mother Corinne’s Sky Interview (Part 322)

14th August 2003 ~ “Yes, I can verify that my mother and my brother had a fire”

During his section 14 interview on 14th August 2003, sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell told the police his mother Corinne and his brother Shane Mitchell had a fire in their garden on the evening he committed his murder.

Below are extracts from Sgt George Thomson’s trial testimony;

  • Alan Turnbull: Right. And he was asked whether the log burner and his back garden was lit that night, that’s Monday the 30th?
  • Sgt George Thomson: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: And what was his answer to that?
  • Sgt George Thomson: “Yes, I can verify that my mother and my brother had a fire”
  • Alan Turnbull: Right. So he says that his mother and his brother had a fire that night?

3rd September 2003

Less than 3 weeks later the murderer gave a Sky News interview to James Matthews, on the very day that Jodi Jones was laid to rest, pretending he knew nothing about his fires.

Below are excerpts from the Sky interview;

  • James Matthews: This burning of clothes keeps getting mentioned and there is also the subject of a missing knife, is that your missing knife?
  • Murderer Luke Mitchell: No. The burning clothes that wasn’t us. They just stated that a female relative of the suspect admitted to burning clothes
  • James Matthews: Was that you or anyone connected to you?
  • Murderer Luke Mitchell: No, not that we know of

Killer Luke Mitchell: Debunking Fake Lawyer Scott C Forbes’ Lies & Nonsense Regarding The Murderers Hidden Trousers (Part 321)

The following is an excerpt from pretend lawyer Scott C Forbes’ book;

Scott C Forbes also wrote and published the following;

Jodi Jones’ DNA was found on a pair of trousers belonging to Luke Mitchell.

The trousers were in a holdall at his father’s house in Livingston, a home he hadn’t been to for at least a fortnight prior to the murder of Jodi.

What Is a Cult? 10 Warning Signs

A cult is an organized group whose purpose is to dominate cult members through psychological manipulation and pressure strategies.

Cults are usually headed by a powerful leader who isolates members from the rest of society.

Some individuals who join cults remain lifelong members.

Others break free and share how it felt to be brainwashed by a charismatic leader.

Excerpts by Amy Morin article headed What Is a Cult? 10 Warning Signs dated 13th November 2023

Sadistic murderers like Luke Mitchell, and his toxic enablers, use psychological manipulation and pressure strategies.

Why Do People Join Cults?

According to a November 2022 article here;

People join cult movements for various reasons, most of which revolve around a desire for meaning and community.

Many who become part of such organizations have troubled backgrounds and difficulty fitting into society.

They might also feel mainstream culture has no place for them and nothing of spiritual value to offer either.

Former cult members often describe the long-lasting sense of loneliness and nihilism they felt prior to becoming part of something bigger than themselves.

Motivations For Stalking

According to Stalkers And Their Victims (here) research by Paul E. Mullen, Michele Pathé and Rosemary Purcell say that the “resentful” stalkers stalking “is designed to inflict fear and distress”.

According to the public prosecution services for Northern Ireland website here, they state;

There are many reasons why a person may stalk another and there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ stalking perpetrator. 

The ‘Stalking Risk Profile’ – developed by Mullan et al of Melbourne University – assists investigators and prosecutors in understanding stalking behaviour and risk. This profile divides stalkers into five types and considers the context in which the stalking arises and the stalker’s motivation for contacting the victim:

The Rejected Stalker – Rejected stalking arises in the context of the breakdown of a close relationship. Victims are usually former sexual intimates; however, family members, close friends, or others with a very close relationship to the stalker can also become targets of Rejected stalking

The Resentful stalker – Resentful stalking arises when the stalker feels as though they have been mistreated or that they are the victim of some form of injustice or humiliation. Victims are strangers or acquaintances who are seen to have mistreated the stalker.

The Intimacy Seeking stalker – Intimacy seeking stalking arises out of a context of loneliness and a lack of a close confidante. Victims are usually strangers or acquaintances who become the target of the stalker’s desire for a relationship. Frequently Intimacy Seeking stalkers’ behaviour involves delusional beliefs about the victim, such as the belief that they are already in a relationship, even though none exists.

The Incompetent Suitor – The Incompetent suitor stalks in the context of loneliness or lust and targets strangers or acquaintances. Unlike the Intimacy Seeker, however, their initial motivation is not to establish a loving relationship, but to get a date or a short term sexual relationship. Incompetent Suitors usually stalk for brief periods, but when they do persist, their behaviour is usually maintained by the fact that they are blind or indifferent to the distress of the victim.

The Predatory Stalker – Predatory stalking arises in the context of deviant sexual practices and interests. Perpetrators are usually male and victims are usually female strangers in whom the stalker develops a sexual interest. The stalking behaviour is usually initiated as a way of obtaining sexual gratification (e.g., voyeurism targeting a single victim over time), but can also be used as a way of obtaining information about the victim as a precursor to a sexual assault, the most dangerous leading to serious attack.

Do Not Trust Mis ”Leading Criminologists” Like David Wilson When It Comes To Sadistic Murderers Like Luke Mitchell (Part 318)

David Wilson (Courtesy of CurtisBrown.co.uk)

Failure To Address Innocence Fraud

In April 2023 David Wilson, described as a “leading criminologist” by mainstream media, stated via the Herald here;

I’ve never needed to be convinced that miscarriages of justice happen in Scotland.

David Wilson – via the Herald – April 2023

David Wilson continues to fail to address the very real innocence fraud phenomenon, which Jodi Jones’ murderers public relations spin campaign most definitely is, and has been.

The next sentence in his 2023 article plugged a book he had written on another murderer called George Beattie, who murdered Margaret McLaughlin in Carluke, Lanarkshire on 6th July 1973.

Margaret McLaughlin was 23 years old when she found stabbed to death multiple times, in a woodland known locally as Colonel’s Glen, near to Carluke railway station.

George Beattie admitted his guilt to his murder.

Projection

David Wilson stated towards the end of his article;

The Scottish Criminal Justice System never seems keen to admit to its mistakes but, as I have always argued, a judicial system cannot call itself mature and civilised unless it’s prepared to hold its hands up and admit when it gets things wrong.

David Wilson – via the Herald – April 2023

The above reads like David Wilson’s psychological projections.

Irresponsible Claims

David Wilson’s allegation that Jodi Jones’ “killer is still to be brought to justice” was (and still is) arrogant and extraordinarily offensive, especially to Jodi Jones’ loved ones and to all those people who brought Jodi Jones’ murderer to justice.

It was also an immensely irresponsible move on David Wilson’s part.

Many vulnerable individuals have been groomed and conned by Jodi Jones’ murderer and his chief enablers over the years.

The indoctrination and psychological manipulation experienced by these individuals will no doubt take them a long time to reverse (or deprogram) and recover from.

David Wilson failed to carry out his due diligence.

He also disingenuously attempted to give the public the impression he had read trial transcripts, stating “I have been able to: read transcripts from Luke’s trial…”.

Trial transcripts were not in the public domain in 2023, and the testimony of many of the witnesses who gave evidence during the murderers 2004/05 trial, have never been transcribed.

However, now that transcripts are finally being published, they tell a very different narrative to the one told over these past two decades by the murderer, his enablers and the mainstream media.

Killer Luke Mitchell: What Did Philip Mitchell Tell The Police About The Knife His Sadistic & Psychopathic Son Committed His Murder With? (Part 306)

During the trial testimony of Corinne Mitchell, it became clear that Philip Mitchell appeared/appears to be the person who bought his killer son Luke Mitchell the knife which he committed his murder with.

The following excerpts from Corinne Mitchell’s testimony start from page 2339 of the transcripts;

  • Alan Turnbull: What was your own attitude towards youngsters carrying knives
  • Corinne Mitchell: I don’t like youngsters carrying knives
  • Alan Turnbull: Okay. And you’ve expressed that view I think to the police a number of times, haven’t you?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: I want you to see the way you’ve expressed yourself in that context, if we may. Have you please before you production 40. Production 40 is a transcript of a tape recorded interview between the police and Luke on the 4th July 2003, amd you were present?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Okay. Go to page 175 for me please. Because page 175 of the transcript it is actually you that is talking to the police, you see that don’t you?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: And want you said, amongst other things, is that “He knows…” I think that’s a reference to your former husband. “He knows I absolutely detest and hate knives” Is that right?
  • Corinne Mitchell: That’s right
  • Alan Turnbull: And you’ve explained, “I got annoyed anytime he gave Luke anything like that. I got very annoyed”
  • Corinne Mitchell: That’s got suspect written at it
  • Alan Turnbull: I think we’re probably looking at different bits. The bit I’m looking at is three or four bits down, it’s got mother beside it
  • Corinne Mitchell: Uh huh
  • Alan Turnbull: “I got annoyed anytime he….” that again I think a reference again to your former husband “…..he gave Luke anything like that I got really annoyed”
  • Corinne Mitchell: Mine says suspect. I think that mine is supposed to say mother
  • Alan Turnbull: Well mine certainly says mother
  • Judge: This is a page that the jury had blanked out
  • Alan Turnbull Yes, well it’s obviously you talking isn’t it?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Yes okay. So here we see in the context of the discussion with the police, which included a discussion effectively between you and them about the knives. You’ve explained – just as you have I think to me – that you absolutely hate and detest knives
  • Corinne Mitchell: I do, yes
  • Alan Turnbull: And you got annoyed if for example, your former husband gave Luke anything like that?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Yes. And in your own interview with the police on 6th July at page 37 the same topic was raised. Back to 156 page 37 of this please. 6 lines down from the top “Luke knows I don’t like knives”
  • Corinne Mitchell: Sorry what was that?
  • Alan Turnbull: We’re looking at page 37
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: We’re looking at 6 lines down from the top
  • Corinne Mitchell: Uh huh
  • Alan Turnbull: “Luke knows that I don’t like knives”
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Okay. A little bit further down, 10 lines down there is a comment that begins “Philip knows my thoughts” I think Philip is your former husband
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: “Philip knows my thoughts on knives, but I do remember something beimg mentioned about a knife. And it’s said it was at dad’s. When Philip mentioned it he said something about fishing. I remember getting annoyed”
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: “And him saying it was at his dads”
  • Corinne Mitchell: That’s right
  • Alan Turnbull: Right so consistently with what you told me, you didn’t approve of that?
  • Corinne Mitchell: No I didn’t
  • Alan Turnbull: And you said that quite categorically and clearly to the police
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes

Killer Luke Mitchell: John Smythe Scraping The Pits Of The Barrel (Part 305)

*Guest Blog*

OK, so the narrative used to be –

That the trio all agreed with Luke then changed their minds.

That they were honest in their first statements, changing this within 4 weeks.

That everyone corroborated what Luke had been saying.

No one can argue with those claims, it has been one of the main draws to gain support.

The claim that his dog found the body, that they corroborated this then changed it.

The inference being that they were honest then lied.

We can add the rest, of omitting this from statements, of the Jury not getting to hear the truth from their first statements etc.

This really is a belter –

The NEW narrative is now that the trio always lied.

Yip, what a turnaround eh?

So, the people who have been feeding those lies, that false narrative, have been caught out for lying.

Who have always said the trio told the truth in their first accounts.

Bleating out those experts, first statements, most accurate, best recall!!

It is hilarious, as I pointed out to the alias that is John Smythe.

His futile attempt, scraping at the pits of the barrel, that they always knew the trio were lying through their teeth.

You really couldn’t make this shit up, but they do, and keep on doing it.

So, there is absolute proof that the likes of Sandra Lean and co have been lying through their teeth.

Absolute proof of that acceptance of honesty from the trio, to now say they were lying in their first accounts.

Killer Luke Mitchell: Matthew Elliott & Donna & Their Protestations & Flawed & Biased “Research” For Innocence Fraud Pusher Bob Ruff (Part 282)

Donna Aka Ana Justice
Matthew Elliott

On the 5th of September 2022 Matthew (Matt) Elliott made the following Facebook post;

The following month, on the 20th October, Donna and Matthew Elliott appeared in a video on Facebook alongside two former members, and one current member, of the cult-like Facebook group supporting sadistic and psychopathic murderer Luke Mitchell.

The point of the video appears to have been to critique episode 2 of the BBC Scotland TV show The Trials that shocked Scotland and in particular Jane Hamilton – who is mentioned in Part 176 of this blog series, which can be read by tapping on the button below;

PART 176 Could David Wilson ‘Suffer’ From Hybristophilia?

During their Facebook video Matthew Elliott made the false claim that Jane Hamilton “professes to know absolutely everything about this case”..

Matthew Elliott might want to remind himself of the statement made by scammer Sandra Lean during the May 2019 video with James English where Sandra stated;

The reason I put the book out is if I were forced to give up so if anything happened to me I don’t think there’s anybody else in Scotland got the level of knowledge of the case that I’ve got and the idea was put everything in there and then if anybody else wants to come along and take over the informations there

During the same video Donna who was referred to as a “group expert” whinged about the “misinformation” in the public domain about sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell.

Fast forward around a year and Donna and Matthew Elliott appear to have contacted innocence fraud pusher Bob Ruff, who went on to claim Donna and Matthew had helped him with their “research”.

It was during this podcast that Donna seemingly cottoned on to the fact trial transcripts are available to the public, contrary to the impression given by scammer Sandra Lean.

Someone called Heather posted this link to Bob Ruff’s 29th of September 2023 facebook post to his part 4;

It appears this may be where Donna first learned about trial transcripts.
