Overview

• The Crown Prosecution Service released body-worn camera footage on June 23 showing officers arresting Roy Barclay at Ipswich Library on suspicion of killing Anita Rose.
• Prosecutors presented DNA from Rose’s pink jacket found in Barclay’s off-grid camp alongside CCTV images placing him near Brantham sewage works before the July 24 attack.
• Defence barrister noted that Barclay, who denies the charges, made internet searches about DNA longevity and forensic swabbing days after Rose’s assault.
• Court documents reveal Barclay was jailed in 2015 for beating an 82-year-old man and had been living rough near the crime scene for two years.
• Forensic experts told jurors that boot marks on Rose’s injuries matched a pair of walking boots purchased online and recovered at Barclay’s campsite.
