"We are also told the key was left there regularly so that family could let themselves in.

CCTV footage
"Why are we only allowed to see footage of Aaron Campbell returning to his own house?
"Why are we unable to view the footage of him leaving his own house at 1.54/1.57 reported by his mother?
"Surely it is hugely important to see what he is wearing/carrying at that point yet we aren’t allowed to see it?

Are we to believe Aaron Campbell phoned Alesha’s dad and his girlfriend minutes before he decided to go and kill her?

"Why was there NO DNA or blood in Aaron Campbell's house when he returned, kicked off his clothes and left them in a heap in the bathroom before going out in just his bare feet and shorts?
"Clearly no DNA was found on these garments or it would have been mentioned.
"And at the McPhail’s home no DNA, no finger prints of the accused boy on the light switches or doors.
"How was it possible for him to enter a dark, unknown flat, 15 years old and very drunk and not wake four adults?
"How did he know her room? How did he get her out of the flat, drunk but silently clutching a 6 year old? How did he carry her down all the stairs and hold her while opening the heavy close door without alerting anyone?
"Why did the girl never scream as he walked through suburban streets to take her to the derelict hotel?
Alesha and her uncle.
"Alesha's father was a domestically violent, porn using, unemployed hash dealer. What kind of porn was he watching on the night she died? Was he abusing his daughter?
"Nothing to do with the family is examined.
"We know that Robert and Toni were regularly and violently arguing and that he is on a charge of domestic violence yet this was glossed over.
"And Toni? We know she was jealous of the child; it is alleged she said it was for the best that Alesha had died. Could she have met Aaron Campbell as he says. Could they then have gone to a garage and had sex with a condom she brought?
"Did she remove the condom, return home and carry Alesha to her death? This is what Aaron Campbell alleges."

Aaron Campbell's mother had CCTV.
"It is unclear why Aaron didn’t realise he would be filmed that night and delete it?
"Aaron Campbell says that, that night, he met Toni, and had sex using a condom she brought.
"He then returned home, showered and realised he had lost his phone and went to search, returning for a torch to help locate it.
"It is hard to see clearly on the CCTV if he is carrying something or not.
"The DNA could have been planted via the condom.
"Maybe they did it together?
"Maybe it was a sacrifice and part of a bigger agenda."

"When the grandfather woke up in the morning he presents different versions of events:
1) Alesha's door was lying wide open
2) He went in to check on her, all the doors were closed. Why can't we establish the exact truth?
"Toni was the last person to see Alesha alive - somewhere around 12.30am and that was the last she saw the girl alive.
"However, we also are told that Toni suggested to Aaron's mother to check the CCTV sometime after 2am 'as this was the last time she saw her alive'. If she was awake at 2am then surely this is exactly when Aaron was breaking in?
"How did she even know about the CCTV?
