Detectives investigating the murder of Jordan Taylor

:00:00.:00:00.

say four men could hold vital information.

:00:00.:00:00.

As Marine A is cleared of murder, we hear from the man

:00:00.:00:08.

who launched the campaign to have the conviction overturned.

:00:09.:00:12.

We're back to a cloudy tomorrow and rain also. The details later.

:00:13.:00:19.

The police are trying to find four people who were in Trowbridge

:00:20.:00:23.

within minutes of a young man being stabbed to death.

:00:24.:00:25.

Jordan Taylor died early on Sunday morning.

:00:26.:00:27.

Detectives believe the four people may hold the key to what happened.

:00:28.:00:30.

Here's our Wiltshire Reporter, Will Glennon.

:00:31.:00:37.

The pictures aren't easy to make out, but police think

:00:38.:00:46.

someone out there will know who these people are.

:00:47.:00:48.

The footage was all taken in the centre of Trowbridge -

:00:49.:00:51.

near Prospect Place and Timbrell Street -

:00:52.:00:53.

at the weekend, in the early hours, as Saturday night turned

:00:54.:00:55.

We have evidence which can eliminate these

:00:56.:00:59.

people from all enquiries, so we would urgently like to hear

:01:00.:01:02.

from them or anybody who might recognise these individuals

:01:03.:01:04.

It is likely some of the four would just walking home from a night out,

:01:05.:01:09.

they all passed closely to the incident and they may hold

:01:10.:01:11.

They're especially interested in a white man with receeding hair,

:01:12.:01:16.

wearing a green parka, carrying a black bag.

:01:17.:01:20.

We are certain that someone knows this man and he might be

:01:21.:01:23.

If you think you know any of the people in the CCTV,

:01:24.:01:30.

I would urge you to get in touch with us.

:01:31.:01:32.

Also, we are interested in speaking to anyone who matches

:01:33.:01:34.

the description and who may own a Star Wars logo bag.

:01:35.:01:39.

Most of the police cordons in place on Monday have now been removed.

:01:40.:01:44.

The searches for physical evidence are almost complete.

:01:45.:01:48.

Just one side road remains sealed off.

:01:49.:01:50.

Flowers and messages are still being laid outside

:01:51.:01:52.

the community hospital, the spot where Jordan collapsed

:01:53.:02:00.

and died after struggling there with his friend.

:02:01.:02:01.

When you look at all the flowers and read some of the tributes,

:02:02.:02:05.

you can tell Jordan was a popular person.

:02:06.:02:07.

His mum described him as "The funniest, most loving young

:02:08.:02:09.

She said he loved life and lived it to the full.

:02:10.:02:13.

Jordan's brother, Damian, said they'll always be

:02:14.:02:15.

Now as we've been hearing on the national news,

:02:16.:02:26.

a former Royal Marine from Somerset jailed for shooting an injured

:02:27.:02:29.

Taliban fighter in Afghanistan, had his murder conviction

:02:30.:02:31.

Alexander Blackman is now awaiting a new sentence,

:02:32.:02:37.

after five judges agreed he was mentally impaired

:02:38.:02:39.

People on both sides of the argument gave

:02:40.:02:43.

I can understand how he did what he did, but I don't

:02:44.:02:52.

We have rules, we have to keep them, otherwise we are

:02:53.:02:56.

While he behaved in the most despicable way, what he was

:02:57.:03:01.

He was mentally ill when he did

:03:02.:03:05.

He had not been looked after by his chain of command and he had seen

:03:06.:03:10.

things that would have snapped the will and senses of anybody.

:03:11.:03:13.

And what he did was awful - truly, truly

:03:14.:03:15.

awful, but it was not murder, it was manslaughter.

:03:16.:03:19.

Well, earlier I spoke to John Davis, who led the drive to get Alexander

:03:20.:03:22.

I asked him why he started the campaign.

:03:23.:03:30.

I didn't know Al at all at the start of this,

:03:31.:03:33.

but nobody else was doing anything and one of the main parts

:03:34.:03:39.

of being a Royal Marine is to look out for each other and that is what

:03:40.:03:44.

keeps us alive on the battlefield and that is why

:03:45.:03:46.

You've got to know Alexander Blackman and have visited

:03:47.:03:51.

What kind of strain has this taken on him?

:03:52.:03:59.

Every time I have been to see him, he's

:04:00.:04:02.

always tried to be as normal as he can and it's really difficult,

:04:03.:04:05.

this has put immense pressure on him inside,

:04:06.:04:15.

knowing he shouldn't have been there

:04:16.:04:21.

in the first place and just trying to deal with it day by day,

:04:22.:04:25.

exactly like you would do on tour,

:04:26.:04:26.

you know, out on the battlefield, so it is an immense strain.

:04:27.:04:30.

A lot of people would say, she is under immense strain and of

:04:31.:04:35.

course she is, but she is a tremendous woman and I really don't

:04:36.:04:38.

know how she does it, how she keeps her strength, day in,

:04:39.:04:47.

day out, and she always puts other people first.

:04:48.:04:51.

So although the strain is there, she very, very rarely shows it.

:04:52.:04:55.

You have of public support, but also a lot of

:04:56.:04:57.

voices have not agreed with what you are trying to do.

:04:58.:05:00.

We get a lot of people who do not look at the ins and outs of the

:05:01.:05:07.

case and obviously, those comments are discarded, but a lot of people

:05:08.:05:10.

come out with very reasonable arguments and I think it is

:05:11.:05:13.

important we look at both sides of the arguments and be objective

:05:14.:05:16.

There are lessons to be learned from this?

:05:17.:05:20.

view, which are not for me to speak about, and we need to look at those

:05:21.:05:26.

from the well-being perspective of the men on the ground, the

:05:27.:05:29.

equipment, the manning and so forth, and also from the court martial side

:05:30.:05:32.

of things, where so many elements of that were

:05:33.:05:34.

highlighted to be flawed, in effect,

:05:35.:05:39.

and errors were made, so, I think a review of both would be

:05:40.:05:42.

And you can see a special edition of Panorama about Marine A in just

:05:43.:05:54.

Now it's been Ladies Day at Cheltenham Festival and that

:05:55.:06:00.

meant a huge occasion for one young jockey.

:06:01.:06:02.

Fittingly, Lizzie Kelly made her professional debut at the event.

:06:03.:06:04.

And she did well, finishing in fifth place.

:06:05.:06:06.

This Friday she becomes only the second woman ever to take

:06:07.:06:09.

Damian Derrick's been to the family yard to meet her.

:06:10.:06:18.

I wanted to dress like a male jockey, you know,

:06:19.:06:22.

with all the right gear, the proper riding out boots

:06:23.:06:24.

and the proper britches and everything.

:06:25.:06:26.

I had to do more to fit in and look the same as all the lads.

:06:27.:06:37.

Lizzie hasn't just fitted in, she's stood out,

:06:38.:06:39.

making her own piece of history along the way.

:06:40.:06:46.

A first ever grade one win for a female rider.

:06:47.:06:51.

That win at the highest level in jump racing 15 months ago

:06:52.:06:54.

The confidence side of that, you know, really was massive.

:06:55.:07:02.

It set in stone sort of where I was going,

:07:03.:07:05.

Being able to say, look, I've won a grade one to myself

:07:06.:07:17.

when things are, you know, a bit bleak.

:07:18.:07:19.

Despite her success, opportunities are limited for Lizzie.

:07:20.:07:24.

Many owners and trainers are still reluctant to expose women

:07:25.:07:27.

The majority of her rides come from the family, not that she is

:07:28.:07:41.

She is not given anything, she writes for us

:07:42.:07:44.

and we run a business and if we do not get success,

:07:45.:07:47.

we will not be here, so it is not a gift, she has

:07:48.:07:50.

And I feel very proud that somebody can be that dedicated

:07:51.:07:53.

And it is that sheer hard work that Lizzie

:07:54.:07:57.

And although long since used to being outnumbered

:07:58.:08:01.

in the weighing room, she does understand the significance

:08:02.:08:03.

of being the first female jockey in 33 years to ride in the Gold Cup.

:08:04.:08:11.

I think more than any other girl reference, I've really,

:08:12.:08:13.

Riding in the Gold Cup is massive because it's such an elite race,

:08:14.:08:18.

reserved for the best horses, the best trainers

:08:19.:08:20.

And in such illustrious company, Lizzie has already

:08:21.:08:25.

Now just one football result to give you tonight.

:08:26.:08:40.

Yeovil managed to get a 2-2 draw earlier away

:08:41.:08:42.

The visitors scored in the 91st minute to equalise, after Barnet

:08:43.:08:46.

took the lead just a few minutes before.

:08:47.:08:48.

Some of Bath University students are conferred in an International

:08:49.:09:02.

science competition and created a device that people can breathe on

:09:03.:09:07.

the moon. If they can secure UK funding, they will see their design

:09:08.:09:08.

built. Today, we saw cloud breaking up to

:09:09.:09:30.

be replaced by sunshine. Through tonight, we will bring that cloud

:09:31.:09:36.

back and forth tomorrow, there will be extensive amounts of it around.

:09:37.:09:44.

Equally, as we get late into the afternoon and evening, there is

:09:45.:09:46.

liable to be some patchy rain. But that will be fairly light. Tonight,

:09:47.:09:53.

temperatures will drop to about 5-7 sources, perhaps a little below in

:09:54.:09:58.

one or two spots. We've also seen fog forming in North Somerset and

:09:59.:10:02.

all is well. As the night wears on, there will be low cloud developing

:10:03.:10:08.

in the south-west. By tomorrow morning, extensive overcast skies

:10:09.:10:11.

across the West Country and for many of you, that is how things will

:10:12.:10:15.

remain. Coming in from the North West, a weak cold front. The first

:10:16.:10:20.

will come through in the afternoon, the second into the evening. Two

:10:21.:10:26.

phases where we will see some light, patchy or showery rain running

:10:27.:10:31.

across all of our district. But it will be particularly heavy.

:10:32.:10:34.

Temperatures tomorrow down on today, 11 Celsius. A cooler theme on

:10:35.:10:41.

Friday, turning windier, dry and bright

:10:42.:10:41.

been. The outlook, rain around, if it stays dry I will be surprised.

:10:42.:10:45.

Here is Nick with the national headlines.

:10:46.:10:59.

For large parts of Wales and England there was blue sky and warmth.

:11:00.:11:05.

Warmest day of the year, a clumsy way of saying the UK had the highest

:11:06.:11:07.

temperature
