Barry George

But Coward didn't know that he had executed Jill Dando the day before and that the reason he was talking like this was because, after a kill, Ninjutsu warriors always put a trophy of their victory on their horse or chariot. Maybe he'd change his tune when he eventually found out.

It was a perfect murder. He'd done it; finally he'd pulled something off. But society and people like Coward who dismissed him as nobody would eventually get to know...he wanted them to, but no one would be able to prove it and they would never, ever know why.

Cleared Jill Dando murder suspect Barry George is charged with rape and indecent assault of 14-year-old girl

He has form: https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/barry-george-raped-me-by-my-mums-door-then-said-sorry-6890558.html

As for Jill, I'm quite clear in my own mind he did it. He became obsessed with revenge for his Japanese wife divorcing him, Jill's surname of Dando meaning "the way of the bullet" in Japanese, and after imprisonment for raping another woman determined not to leave a witness next time.

Looks like he has a lot of form Steve?

Mr Campbell told the court that George had raped a woman in 1982 - he pleaded guilty to attempted rape - and that he had previous convictions for indecent assault and for impersonating a police officer.

George also raped his Japanese wife Itsuko Toide, who left him after 11 months of a marriage filled with violence and intimidation. In an interview published today, she gives a remarkable insight into the mind of a man filled with rage and hatred of women.

George met Miss Toide after she had suffered a sexual assault herself and was feeling highly vulnerable. They married after a romance lasting four months. Almost immediately he began subjecting her to a series of sexual and physical attacks at the cramped ground-floor council flat that they shared in Crookham Road, Fulham.

The jury was not allowed to know that George had a long history of stalking women in the area where Miss Dando lived, although detectives found clear evidence that he had followed at least 419 women in Fulham, taking 2,597 photographs of them.

The judge also ruled during pre-trial legal argument that the jury should not learn that George had been arrested in 1983 while prowling in the grounds of Kensington Palace, close to the private apartments of the Prince and Princess of Wales, clad in camouflage fatigues and wielding a commando knife.

I don't think they knew of the rape convictions. A few women testified at the retrial George had harassed them. The jury would have been told of the reels of film depicting women on the street he had photographed. Hard to argue he wasn't aware of Jill, since his doctor's surgery was only a few doors down from where she lived.

In 1983, police arrested him as he hid in bushes outside Kensington Palace in an attempt to see Diana, Princess of Wales.

He was dressed in combat gear, carrying a length of rope and had a knife in his belt. He was not charged.

In fact Barry George had been hoodwinking people for decades, frequently adopting the names of rock musicians, and carrying through with his conceits for months on end.

One of George’s critics, Stephanie Hall, has been through this before. She cites the classic case of Simon Hall, convicted of a murder in 2001 but who so plausibly maintained his innocence that many people, including ‘innocence’ activists and human rights lawyers, campaigned for years to have him freed. Stephanie shared Simon’s surname because she’d known him at work, became one of his keenest supporters, and actually married him in prison. Five years later he confessed to her, revealing details including his motive for the crime, and soon after committed suicide. Stephanie has subsequently researched many similar cases, and has been vociferous about the similarities between Simon Hall and Barry George.

She was not the only such campaigner to feel betrayed. Most miscarriage of justice activists quietly bury embarrassing cases like that of Simon Hall, but one of Britain’s most prominent champions against wrongful convictions (and a one-time broadcasting colleague of mine), concedes it is all too easy to be duped. David Jessel, a former presenter of campaigning TV shows like Rough Justice and Trial and Error, and a long-time member of the Criminal Cases Review Commission concedes: “You always have to reserve a part of your brain for the possibility that the person you campaign for just might be guilty.”

One of the foremost profilers in the US, Pat Brown, says too many coincidences end up with Barry George to be ignored, and is contemptuous of armchair theorists who think he must have been either too dim or too nice to kill. Such people, she says, plainly know little about personality disorders, or indeed criminal profiling.
