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

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.

Why Didn’t The Media Ever Report On The Fact Murderer Luke Mitchell Had Stated The “Dancers“ In The Video He Watched Were “Dressed As Elizabeth Short”? (Part 317)

Elizabeth Short (22) was a native of Boston, who had spent her early life in New England and Florida.

In July 1946 she relocated to California, where her father lived.

She stayed in a rented room behind the Florentine Gardens nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard, and worked as a waitress whilst apparently looking for acting roles.

However there is “no record of her having played so much as a bit part”.

Elizabeth Short’s body was found on 15th January 1947 by a woman called Betty Bersinger, who initially thought it was a mannequin.

The media went on to refer to Elizabeth Short as the “Black Dhalia”, a spin on the 1946 crime film the “Blue Dahlia”.

Excerpts from an online article read;

The LAPD identified Elizabeth Short by her fingerprints, and an autopsy was performed on Short’s body on January 16, 1947.

Marks on her body suggested the woman had been bound and tortured, and her official cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage and shock.

By Emily Martin article headed A Brief History of The Black Dahlia

Murderer Luke Mitchell On Elizabeth Short

The following extracts have been copied directly from Corinne Mitchell’s trial testimony in which Elizabeth Short was referred to. Advocate depute Alan Turnbull was telling the jury about the murderers psyche report (from page 2457 of day 2);

  • Alan Turnbull: There is something else in that report that I wonder if you would help me with. Look with me please at page 11 of that report.
  • Lord Nimmo Smith: This is defence production 26?
  • Alan Turnbull: It’s defence production 26 my Lord, thank you very much. And we’ll put it on the screen because the ladies and gentlemen don’t have a copy of it. And it’s that paragraph at the top of the page that I’m interested in. You’ll see there that Luke is discussing with Dr Campbell is the fact that he had a Marilyn Manson DVD which the police took away
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: And that was the one which was bought on the Wednesday after Jodi’s killing?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: It goes on to say that ‘he indicated that the DVD portrayed a video with dancers dressed as Elizabeth short. When he explained, for my benefit, that Elizabeth Short was known as the Black Dhalia and had been a good actress and had been found dead by the side of the road with traumatic incision of (sic) injuries, these were across her face, across her abdomen and chunks of flesh had been removed from her chin and left breast. Luke Mitchell stated that he had not had any knowledge of Elizabeth Short until he had accessed this information via a website. He states that he did this after the death of Jodi Jones’
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Now had you seen the DVD that went with the Marilyn Manson CD?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Some of it (incomprehensible) I don’t like Marilyn Manson
  • Alan Turnbull: Yes. It’s just the notion that it portrays dancers dressed as Elizabeth Short that I’m interested in. Did you see that on the bit that you saw?
  • Corinne Mitchell: No
  • Alan Turnbull: Have you by any chance seen another Marilyn Manson video that accompanied the single from that CD, where the dancers had sort of uniforms on and a mark painted up the side of their face as if it was showing some sort of split in their cheek?
  • Corinne Mitchell: No. But as I say I don’t like Marilyn Manson so don’t watch any (incomprehensible)
  • Alan Turnbull: Alright. But you see I’m looking at the reference here to dancers dressed as Elizabeth Short. And it would appear that this is something that Luke has told Dr Campbell about?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: And has explained to Dr Campbell that he found the information about Elizabeth Short via a website?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes it says that here
  • Alan Turnbull: Do you know where he did that?
  • Corinne Mitchell: No
  • Alan Turnbull: Would it have been at your house?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Possibly, I don’t understand (sic) so I don’t know. More than likely his fathers
  • Alan Turnbull: Was there a computer still working and available in your house after the police came to take things away in early July?
  • Corinne Mitchell: No, there was nothing there
  • Alan Turnbull: Okay. So it couldn’t really have been in your house if it was?
  • Corinne Mitchell: Unless it was Shane, if Shane got his laptop back. I doubt that he would have used Shane’s laptop so it was possibly at his fathers
  • Alan Turnbull: Right. Because Luke’s explaining here that although he accessed this website, he did it after the death of Jodi
  • Corinne Mitchell: Yes
  • Alan Turnbull: Right. But between Jodi’s death, on the 4th July there would be a computer in your house but not afterwards?
  • Corinne Mitchell: That’s right

TRIAL TRANSCIPTS: Her Majesty’s Advocate -v- Luke Muir Mitchell

Excerpts By Scammer Sandra Lean

Scammer Sandra Lean omitted the above evidence from her second innocence fraud book, but did state the following;

Of the August 14th raid on the Mitchell home, one officer said in a statement that he was told to look specifically for anything Manson related.

Also, the officer who found the Dahlia paintings said that the images were “not easy” to find on the internet and that someone looking for them would have to know what they were looking for – which clearly suggests this officer did!

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: More On Remorseless Murderer Sean Patrick Toal & How Easily He Lies For Another Guilty Murderer & Robber & Violent Con Scott C Forbes (Part 304)

PART 275 Fraudster, Convicted Robber & Violent Con Scott C Forbes & His Alleged Threats To Solicitor Graham Mann

During the video killer Sean Toal and Scott Forbes told many outrageous lies.

The following is some dialogue between the pair of innocence fraudsters;

So the police are now driving people about

They’ve been over the wall of a crime scene

Come on anybody with any..

Scott Forbes

Is this the local police then

Sean Toal

Aye started off with the local police and then Dobbie and that arrived

He was a detective superintendent for Edinburgh

Scott Forbes

But this time the place have already let..

Sean Toal

Aye they’ve allowed people to go home covered in Jodi’s blood

Scott Forbes

And what was Dobbie’s answer to that

Sean Toal

Ah he just says ach we’ve carri.. our investigation was the finest police work that we’ve ever carried out

Scott Forbes

So there’s people there that have been involved in finding the body

They’re covered in blood

They don’t get questioned

They get drove about Dalkeith and then they pick on Luke

Sean Toal

Detective chief superintendent Craig Dobbie was not appointed as senior investigating officer until gone 03:00hrs, by which time all the family members had left the scene.

And no one was “covered in blood” like killer Sean Toal stated!

This is another intentional bare faced lie!

Alice Walker was the only person to have gone near her grand-daughter Jodi Jones’ body and Alice had said she might have touched her grand-daughters forehead.

The intentional bare faced lie about Alice Walker “cradling” her grand-daughter body was started by sadistic murderer Luke Mitchell!

Janine Jones, Steven Kelly and Alice Walker were driven directly to Newbattle police station, they were not “drove about” Dalkeith like killer Sean Toal stated and they didn’t go home until after they had been at the police station – where they were asked questions.

Pages 806 and 807 of Janine Jones’ trial testimony describes some of what happened in the early hours of the morning of 1st July 2003;
