He would be more of a target in Hackney.

Programms on it now.

I was going to ask how George knew where Jill Dando lived. However he did live in the area.

Is there anything new? There's a thread started here: http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,2410.0.html

The crime: https://youtu.be/4QwQquitVqo

[Roch]

Jill Dando was killed while the David Copeland bombs were occurring. She announced on her last Crimewatch show, that somebody had phoned the show's hotline, to disclose that people with binoculars had been sighted on a rooftop overlooking the Brixton bomb site.  As an aside,  David Copeland wore a light coloured / white baseball cap.  Easy to spot for any would be monitors.  The killer of Jo Cox also wore a similar coloured baseball cap.  In addition, a witness during that case disclosed that a man with binoculars was seen lying down in church grounds, overlooking part of the killer's route.

Wasn't paying much attention.

Don't believe the spec of gun shot residue was due to contamination. However unless it can be matched to the crime scene, it just proves that George once had a gun in his property.

Did he ever admit to owning a gun?

Its been a while since I read about this case. If memory serves me correctly, analysis of the bullet and shell casing used in the murder, determined that the weapon was from the soviet union. The composite of the unkown person in the area looks rather Serbian. And even the modern Serbian government suspect it was a Serbian ultra nationalist.

But Jill Dando wasn't living at the house at the time. Are people saying that Serbian hitmen were hanging around Gowan Avenue, Fulham on the off-chance that Ms. Dando would put in an appearance?

She had keys to the place and was shot as she was trying to unlock the door.

Yes but how did anyone know she was going to be there? Far more likely to be Barry George, a man who had raped a woman in the past but who had learned that women rebuffed him, so he would change his modus operandi to murder. He was local to the area, he was seen by one witness hours before the crime with a cleaning cloth, pretending to wipe a car windscreen. All he would need to do was to approach her, kill her, hurry home to change then attempt to establish an alibi for himself, which is what I believe the sequence of events was.

Were the Serbs known for operations outside of the former Yugoslavia?

I don't know. If there wasn't there is a first time for everything.

For many years, I stuck with the Serb theory, simply because I followed the wars in the former Yugoslavia in the early 90's and late 90's. The Serbs were portrayed as the most aggressive of the warring factions and of having seized or inherited most of the military hardware of the former national army. Thus, they were the arch villains of that era. However, if it was a Serb, it is a strikingly isolated act (on foreign soil / strange target). It may be a red herring. Our own security services would have likely identified the assailant. Instead, Mr George was persued for the crime.

The Serb theory has two scenarios. One being an assassination ordered higher up. The other being a small group or even a single lone wolf acting on their own looking for some kind of revenge. I find the latter more likely.

Jill Dando was making appeals in the media for assistance to the Bosnian refugees etc etc. Plus the murder took  place three days after NATO bombed the central Serbian TV station killing 16 people. Hence I find Serbian theory the only one that makes sense. Combined with the bullet being of Soviet type production.
