We've had, I estimate, about 30 people have died.

Obviously, Ian Bailey himself has died.

Alfie Lyons, who was the first person on the scene who reported her, Sophie's body has died.

Her husband, Daniel Tusk on the plant here, has died.

And several senior Gardaí, as well as key witnesses in the original Gardaí investigation, in terms of circumstantial evidence that they would say, Gardaí say, would have pointed towards Ian Bailey, people like Richard Lefwick, Brian Jackson, Ursula Jackson,

Rosie Shelley, who was in the house that evening with her husband, Richie, when they said they interpret what Ian Bailey said when he said, I went too far as a confession, she's passed away.

So there has been a lot, you know, as I say, around 13 total.

Martin Graham, who alleged the Gardaí gave him cannabis to try and induce him to get Ian Bailey to confess.

He's died.

There is, that is a serious factor and the hindrance to Gardaí, plus as well as those who are still alive, obviously, memories may fade.

Barry, thank you very much for joining us.

That's Barry Roach, Southern correspondent with the Irish Times.
