I have respect for those on this thread that clearly know every in and out of this case except all of them lack in one thing - the identity of the murderer for sure. The fact that there are those with all that knowledge stored that still come to different conclusions make this mystery what it is. After learning of Murphy's editing of the Parry alibi according to the Gospel of St John (Gannon that is) I still wasn't totally sure to trust everything I read, JG could be adding that piece into the statement to make it fit his conclusion - just like Murphy edited it - (if he did) - if you get what I mean.

I've met and do trust Mark though and he tells me that having now been to Kew, he confirms that Murphy did edit that statement either knowingly or unknowingly - but it was edited.



I can trust Mark's collation of the facts and he tells me he's found nothing to incriminate Marsden then I believe him unless there is some other information lurking somewhere that John G has access to. If the diary entry ATU alludes to can be proven - and this theory of blackmail of not allowing Marsden to marry into money unless he agrees to be part of this murder plot also carries more weight than imagination alone then I don't mind being swayed in another direction.
