I certainly wouldn't discount that he didn't know anything about the Kelly event until a couple of days later......there's plenty of stuff I don't find out about that is common knowledge in other circles...even in this day of easy access to information....I mean I don't watch the television every day and miss certain conversations......all he had to do was not read the newspaper for a couple of days and not be in the vicinity of a conversation that presumably took all of 2 minutes to say: "another murder....terrible ain't it" (I'd imagine there was only so much to be said before changing the conversation).....and people don't walk up to people in the street and start discussing a murder....there's just been a murder here and I've discussed it with my family but no one has mentioned it in the pubs I've been in in the last few days...blokes in the pub tend to sit round and talk about football...women....have a laugh about anything....and certainly not talk about murder.
In terms of the sighting issue.....just an option really.....
For what it's worth...I would remember the one night I didn't have any sleep.....for example.....I lost my keys about 2 year back and ended up having to sleep outside.....even 2 years ago I know that that day was a Saturday night because I'd been invited to the races at Liverpool that day and was supposed to be meeting a mate on the way back from the same races...so due to my lifestyle it must have been a Saturday...plus....all the hotels were booked by Scandanavians and Dutch because Man Utd were playing the day after...so again it must have been a weekend night.....and my keys turned out to be at my girlfriends who brought them over at midday the following day and that day must have been a Sunday. So if Hutchinson is anything like me then he'd nail that day no problem....and if you believe his account of Astrakhan Man then he certainly appears to have a memory in good working order.
