There was a good reason I asked that question.
You suggested that the police (obviously, in your opinion), thought it could be a clue.
As the origin of the graffiti was never uncovered, any clue that could be derived from it was unknown - therefore, this graffiti was of no help at all to the investigation.
A provenance has to be established first, before any potential clue can be obtained.
Is it yet another coincidence that GSG graffiti is so similar in content and the confusion it caused to the shout of Lipski at the earlier murder of Stride?
One "obvious" use if they had preserved in a photo was they could have compared it to other handwriting from the letters. or handwriting from suspects.

When writing on a wall in chalk you use your wrist & elbow more extensively than when you write on paper with a pen, where the dominant input is finger movement. That being the case you cannot compare penned letters to graffiti written on a wall.
