Anyway...

Anyway, I've got better things to do than argue in circles all evening. Nice chatting.

[KatBradshaw]

Ahh of course, not a Bank Holiday we have now of course.

[Stewart P Evans]

Not Really

Does that mean that there was a lot of business on a Monday night/Tuesday morning. Not sure I would see that as peak time.

Not really, it was the night of a Bank Holiday and, as we know from the soldiers questioned, there were several of them about the streets late that night.

Only if...

It does mean she was with him for 2hrs 45 mins. That is a long time.

Only if it was the same soldier she was with at 11.45 p.m. She could easily have picked up another soldier client before she was murdered.

[Stewart P Evans]

But...

They were together a long time weren't they!!

But... we don't know how long they were together.

Here we have one 'let's say', an 'entirely plausible' and an 'if'. In you saying 'let's say', I presume that your stand is that Tabram was not murdered by a soldier.

Also...

Also we have to consider that Tabram was consorting with soldiers that night, she went off along George Yard with a soldier at 11.45 p.m., and a soldier was seen waiting for another soldier at the top end of George Yard at 2.00 a.m. and the doctor estimated her time of death at 2.30 a.m. Whilst I appreciate that this is circumstantial evidence only, the term soldier crops up just once too often in my opinion as far as weighing up the balance in the question of whether or not a soldier murdered her.

[Stewart P Evans]

Here...

Just a little follow up point...
Let's say Killeen was off by just a half hour, and Tabram was actually murdered around 3 AM. This is entirely plausible. If this was this case, how relevant is the soldier who was seen waiting for a friend at around 2 AM?
I would argue... not so much. An hour is quite a long time.
