0:00:28 > 0:00:30Donaghadee is a quiet seaside town,
0:00:30 > 0:00:36a place where many older people retire to enjoy the sea air and the views.
0:00:40 > 0:00:46An idyllic spot, perhaps, but for 77 year-old Tilly Campbell, it became the stuff of nightmares.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56GLASS SMASHES
0:01:18 > 0:01:19FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:01:23 > 0:01:28In the early hours of the 9th October, 2006, as Tilly Campbell lay sleeping,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32an intruder shattered the early morning silence.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06'Fire and rescue.'
0:02:06 > 0:02:10'Hello. I'm calling from Donaghadee. 46 Barnagh Park.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12'I'm just walking over to the centre.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14'The house that I've just walked past,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17'it looks like there's smoke coming out some of the windows.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- '46?- Barnagh Park.' - Barnagh?- Yeah, in Donaghadee.'
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Shortly after ten to 6, on Monday 9th of October,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I was alerted to a fire by my regional control centre, via pager,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32to turn out to take charge of an incident of a house fire.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35SIREN BLARES
0:02:39 > 0:02:4446 Barnagh Park is a semi-detached bungalow in a quiet area of the town.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49It was owned by widow, Tilly Campbell, and on first arriving at the scene,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52firemen were hopeful that the fire was not extensive.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56However, on closer inspection, it appeared that the house had been broken into
0:02:56 > 0:03:00and the officers were immediately concerned for possible occupants.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08With in a few minutes after that time, one of the fire-fighters came out to say they had found someone,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12and to get resuscitation equipment ready for the casualty being brought out.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Basically once the crew had sat the lady down, it was apparent very quickly
0:03:21 > 0:03:26that due to her horrific injuries that she had sustained, that life was extinct.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39As the victim's injuries were not fire related,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Assistant Group Commander Stanley Bentley entered the building himself
0:03:44 > 0:03:47to try to determine the cause of the fire, suspecting foul play.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I looked and I found two seats of fire.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59There was one just outside a bedroom, at a chair
0:03:59 > 0:04:03which led to a hot press that was completely destroyed by fire.
0:04:03 > 0:04:09And there was a second attempt at a fire at a mattress in an adjoining bedroom.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16At this stage I believed and I knew was dealing with more than a fire incident and a fire fatality.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19This was due to the injuries that Tilly Campbell had received
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and the fact that the rear door had been forced,
0:04:22 > 0:04:27the fact that there were two seats of fire, and also that we'd found a knife in one of the bedrooms.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31It was then that I had to make the decision to preserve the scene as much as possible.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38In the meantime, fire crews continued their duties ensuring the flames had
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- not spread to adjoining properties. - Hello, anyone home?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Tilly's immediate neighbour was on holiday but her son was at home.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Firemen had difficulty rousing him
0:04:47 > 0:04:52and were surprised he had not responded to the arrival of emergency services hours earlier.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57They entered to check that the fire next door had no ill effects on persons or property.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I went up, checked the roof space
0:05:04 > 0:05:09which I found a considerable amount of smoke but no fire passage had made its way through,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13so we were content at the fact that no fire had travelled through into that home.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Robert Harvey explained he had just woken up after a heavy drinking session.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21But officers noticed the washing machine was on.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Just didn't add up, the fact that if he was sleeping his washing machine was on,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33and basically he was not emotional to the fact that there had been a fire next door.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The firemen informed police on the scene about their suspicions
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and two officers went back to speak with Robert Harvey.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47When we went to knock on the door,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49there was no answer.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51The house appeared to be in darkness and it was quiet.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I thought this was a bit strange as the fire service had just spoken
0:05:56 > 0:05:59to the occupant a few minutes previously.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I knocked on the door a number of times and there was no answer,
0:06:05 > 0:06:10so I consulted with my colleague and we decided that due to the evidence that we already had,
0:06:10 > 0:06:15and our suspicions, that we would have to force entry to speak to the occupant.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Where's your washing machine?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I opened up the door of the washing machine and observed it to be full of clothing.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I started to remove the clothing as I wasn't sure
0:06:41 > 0:06:45whether the washing machine might let more water in at some stage, had I left it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I set the clothing on the floor
0:06:47 > 0:06:52and happened to notice a pair of trainers in the washing machine as well.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55The first thing that came to mind was you'll ruin your drum
0:06:55 > 0:07:00by putting trainers in your washing machine, and I decided to say this to Robert Harvey,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03just to see if I could build up some rapport with him.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09He didn't make any reply, or his facial expression didn't change at all.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Robert Harvey then left the kitchen and made his way towards one of the bedrooms.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I followed him, I just wanted to keep him in sight at all times.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23He sat down on his bed and picked up a paintbrush
0:07:23 > 0:07:27and began to paint on an easel which he had just beside the bed.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- So, you're an artist?- Yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:40At his feet I noticed there was, what appeared to be scissors, a hatchet and a jemmy,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42lying in a small pile.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I asked him what was the purpose of the tools that were lying on the floor.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48He says he had them for his own protection.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55When I entered 48 Barnagh Park, Robert Harvey remained calm throughout.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58He was neither obstructive or particularly helpful.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04But he didn't make any expression as to why the police were forcing their way into his house.
0:08:05 > 0:08:12When I mentioned to him that Tilly Campbell was dead, he did show surprise which appeared genuine.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16He made a few comments but then he immediately returned to his calm state.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26As a result of Robert Harvey's actions in which he failed
0:08:26 > 0:08:28to respond to the fire service...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34..he failed to respond to the police officers knocking the door...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38..on police entering the property and finding a number of weapons...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44..on finding the washing machine where clothes had recently been washed...
0:08:45 > 0:08:49..and the fact that Tilly Campbell had been brutally murdered in her home,
0:08:49 > 0:08:51officers at the scene, under the direction of the local CID,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54arrested Robert Harvey on suspicion of murder.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Tilly Campbell was a 77-year-old widow and grandmother who lived in
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Donaghadee for nearly 60 years. She'd only moved to Barnagh Park
0:09:20 > 0:09:24following the death of her husband in November 2004.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Tilly was a strong willed and popular woman,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31but had becoming increasingly more housebound due to ill health.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35She was unable to walk, or carry items for long distances,
0:09:35 > 0:09:40but was saving for a mobility scooter to maintain her independence.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I first heard about my mother's death, it must have been...
0:09:44 > 0:09:48..around 6.30, seven o'clock or something on the Tuesday morning.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I can't really remember.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And it was my son come running into my bedroom to say
0:09:53 > 0:09:57that my brother had phoned to let him know that my mother was dead
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and there had been a fire in the house.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I just got up and threw things on me, got into the car and just drove
0:10:05 > 0:10:09on autopilot really. I can't remember a lot more driving down to Donaghadee,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11to see what had happened.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18From the information we had been given, from what I can remember,
0:10:18 > 0:10:23I don't think it was a lot, just that there was a fire and we didn't know she was murdered at the time.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And everything to me, really, it was a blank.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32When I got down there, you know, my uncle, he was already there with the police.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34They more or less told me what had happened.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41And I, you know, you're devastated. You're numb.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I didn't know what to do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It was just a shock.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53The morning that I found out that Tilly had been murdered,
0:10:53 > 0:10:54I was getting ready for work,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and it was early, it was about seven-ish.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01And I was upstairs, my partner was downstairs. The knock came to the door.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06And at that time in the morning you do wonder, but it was Don.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10And I had thought she had fallen, that Tilly had fallen again, because she fell before.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16But it was Don coming in to tell me that his mother was dead and there had been a fire.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And I went into hysterics.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37When Robert Harvey was arrested and taken to Serious Crime at Antrim,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40he undergoes a process of forensic recovery.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46We take swabs of his hand, we take head hair combings, etcetera.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We also seize the clothing that he was wearing.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55At the time of his arrest he was wearing a dark-coloured hooded top, boxer shorts
0:11:55 > 0:11:56and a pair of slippers.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00They would have been removed from him and he would have been supplied with a police issue boiler suit.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15When I found out that he was arrested, I was, you know,
0:12:15 > 0:12:21I was so angry, because he lived next door to my mum and I couldn't
0:12:21 > 0:12:25believe that anybody could do anything like that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Especially to my mum.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I'd only seen him now and again. But you never really seen his face
0:12:34 > 0:12:37cos he always had hoods and kept his head down.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I didn't really know what he looked like.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Despite the fact that Robert Harvey was well-known to local police,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48there was a feeling of incredulity throughout the community that
0:12:48 > 0:12:51he could have murdered his defenceless neighbour.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55A post-mortem was carried out on Tilly Campbell's body.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04As a result of that post-mortem, the pathologist stated that he believed
0:13:04 > 0:13:07the cause of death was as a result of multiple injuries.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11However, most notably, extensive head injuries resulted in Tilly's death.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Tilly Campbell had extensive defence wounds to her upper and lower arms that would be consistent
0:13:20 > 0:13:24with Tilly having put up quite a struggle with her assailant,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27and it is clear to us that Tilly did fight back.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Police investigating the death of a pensioner in County Down
0:13:37 > 0:13:39have launched a murder enquiry.
0:13:39 > 0:13:4277-year-old Tilly Campbell was found dead by fire officers
0:13:42 > 0:13:46as they attended her house at Barnagh Park, in Donaghadee, early this morning.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48A 36-year-old man was arrested.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Police now had 96 hours to hold and question Robert Harvey.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Forensic teams were immediately dispatched
0:13:56 > 0:13:59to try and gather evidence linking the suspect to the crime.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10In the main double bedroom where Mrs Campbell would have slept, there was
0:14:10 > 0:14:15an extensive distribution of blood staining on the walls.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21The blood was projected and it had been sprayed up.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28It gave an impression of an origin point which would have been about the head of the bed.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37Most of the blood was sprayed onto the wall, what one would expect from
0:14:37 > 0:14:41blows being delivered to someone's head.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47There was also a smeared mark on the wall, just beside the light switch at the door.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And that would have appeared to have come from someone's hand.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Perhaps they were searching for the light switch, and they've smeared the blood down the wall.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04The single spare room was beside the main master bedroom.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08There was evidence of blood staining on the bed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11There was also extremely heavy blood staining
0:15:11 > 0:15:13on the floor just beside the head of the bed.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18There was some splashing of blood
0:15:18 > 0:15:21on the adjacent furniture, on the wardrobe.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26My impression is that she'd been deposited on the bed
0:15:26 > 0:15:28and she had slipped off the bed on to the floor beside it
0:15:28 > 0:15:31and as she impacted the floor,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the blood would have been sprayed at that time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Blood spatter evidence would prove crucial,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41but even more damning was the comprehensive glass fragment evidence,
0:15:41 > 0:15:46which tied the suspect irrefutably to the scene of the crime.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The door from the porch to the outside back yard,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53the glass had been broken and that was most probably
0:15:53 > 0:15:55the point of access to the house itself.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00A pair of trainers had been recovered from the scene.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05They were packaged and submitted to us for examination,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09including an examination for the presence of any glass particles
0:16:09 > 0:16:10that may have been present.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12On looking through the microscope,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15we're able to visualise the presence of glass
0:16:15 > 0:16:19and each fragment is removed on the tip of a scalpel.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24At the conclusion of our examination,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27we were able to demonstrate that one of the trainers
0:16:27 > 0:16:30found at the rear of the suspect's property
0:16:30 > 0:16:34had left a footwear mark just at the entrance point
0:16:34 > 0:16:39to the main dwelling at the broken double-glazed unit.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42We were able to demonstrate that one of those trainers also bore glass,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45not only from that broken glass unit,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48but from both broken panes at the back door.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53To find glass from all three broken windows,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55not only on the trainers in question,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58but also on the clothing within the washing machine,
0:16:58 > 0:17:04in my opinion, this would indicate that the wearer of these items of clothing and footwear
0:17:04 > 0:17:08would have been the perpetrator of the incident in question.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20This forensic information was relayed to the investigating officer,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23who confronted Robert Harvey in the interview room.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27There was glass found in those training shoes,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31that is a match for the double-glazing that was broken.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35So that puts those training shoes in that lean-to
0:17:35 > 0:17:37at the time the glass was smashed.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42No. It's been matched.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's been forensically matched.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The glass from the window and the glass from the training shoe.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Robert, tell us what happened.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Sorry?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Tell me what happened, Robert.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Tell me why you killed her.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07You killed Tilly Campbell in cold blood.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Further forensic discoveries
0:18:13 > 0:18:16tightened the net even more around the suspect.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The weapons recovered at the time of Harvey's arrest
0:18:21 > 0:18:24from the bedroom - scissors, a hammer and a hatchet.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27We were able to locate Robert Harvey's DNA
0:18:27 > 0:18:30and we were also able to locate a mixed profile,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34believed to be that of both Robert Harvey and Matilda Campbell.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38The scissors would be conducive with some of the injuries found
0:18:38 > 0:18:41on Tilly's body during the postmortem examination.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47The boxer shorts removed from Harvey were submitted for examination.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52They were found to have blood that matched that of Tilly Campbell
0:18:52 > 0:18:55on the waistband and also to the rear of the boxer shorts
0:18:55 > 0:18:58both inside and outside of the boxer shorts.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08During the interview process, Robert Harvey attempted to explain
0:19:08 > 0:19:10his movements during the course of the evening.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13He said he laid down for the evening and did not awaken
0:19:13 > 0:19:17until the fire service rapped at his window,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20some time about 5:55am.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24We found during the 96-hour period this to be incorrect,
0:19:24 > 0:19:29that Robert Harvey at 3:25am had actually topped up his mobile phone.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34This was put to him during interview and he alleged that was an accident
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and maybe he had rolled over his phone during the course of the night.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41These phone records are telling us that your phone was topped up at 3:26am.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And you admit you had the phone and there was nobody with you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Your phone dialled that number, OK?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You're telling me that you might have rolled over.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Your phone's dialled 4,4,4,4.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And some part of your body has been able to get the exact code
0:20:05 > 0:20:07of a top up card for you to top it up.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17No. Your phone was topped up. Why are you lying to us?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Despite the mounting forensic evidence against him,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Harvey continued to deny any involvement in the murder of Tilly Campbell.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30However, when confronted with the last piece of evidence,
0:20:30 > 0:20:34a bloody sock, his demeanour visibly changed.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38During the immediate follow up and the search of the locality,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41police officers found a sock in a bin
0:20:41 > 0:20:45that belonged to number 39 Barnagh Park.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47This bin was a recycling bin
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and the people that owned the property would categorically state
0:20:50 > 0:20:54that nothing would be found in that bin other than recycling materials.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58This sock bore the blood of Tilly Campbell.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04The bin was seized as an item and taken away for further examination.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Do you have a pair of socks like that?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You see it's covered in blood?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Is that your sock?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22You don't know?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Whose blood's that?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Is it Tilly's blood?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41During the interview process,
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Robert Harvey had remained calm. He had responded to questions,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49up till the eighth interview, out of 16.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53He did show concern when we put to him that we had recovered
0:21:53 > 0:21:57a bloodied sock in the bin belonging to number 39.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59From the ninth interview onwards,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Robert Harvey either chose not to speak
0:22:01 > 0:22:04or was selective in his responses.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08We have got your trainer and we have got a footmark of that trainer
0:22:08 > 0:22:11in the lean-to. We've got glass
0:22:11 > 0:22:13from the double-glazed window pane.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17We've got a knife that matches knives from your kitchen.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Do you see where we're going here?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- I know where you're going, aye. - We believe that you killed Tilly
0:22:27 > 0:22:28in cold blood.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I didn't kill Tilly.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33'When this evidence that we had'
0:22:33 > 0:22:37in our possession at that time was put to Robert Harvey
0:22:37 > 0:22:40in the final interviews, although he did not respond,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43he physically slumped to the weight of the evidence put before him.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46On 13th October 2006,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49at five past midnight, I charged Robert Harvey
0:22:49 > 0:22:52with the murder of Tilly Campbell.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Robert Harvey was remanded in custody
0:22:54 > 0:22:58by Downpatrick Magistrates' Court on 13th October 2006.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A protracted trial took place,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03in which Harvey replaced his legal team,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05before finally pleading guilty.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07He was convicted of the murder of Matilda Campbell
0:23:07 > 0:23:11on 22nd September 2009.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14It was when the court was going on and at the end of it,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18when Justice Hart was reading out details.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23It was atrocious. I didn't even know half of that beforehand,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25until the end.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31'It was horrible. It was your worst nightmare,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'hearing what he had actually done to Mum.'
0:23:36 > 0:23:38NEWSREADER: A man has been sentenced
0:23:38 > 0:23:41to at least 23 years in jail for killing his elderly neighbour
0:23:41 > 0:23:43in Donaghadee in County Down.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Robert George Harvey admitted murdering Tilly Campbell,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48who was 77,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and lived in Barnagh Park. The court was told that,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54three years ago, Harvey was drunk when he broke into the woman's house
0:23:54 > 0:23:56and battered her with an axe.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58The judge said it was "an exceptionally violent
0:23:58 > 0:24:00"and prolonged assault" and that Harvey
0:24:00 > 0:24:03had shown his victim "absolutely no mercy".
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I suppose it was the best outcome you could have got, you know,
0:24:07 > 0:24:12because the most was 25 years and he got 23.
0:24:12 > 0:24:18But it's, for us, it's not long enough, you know.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22There's times I've thought that, if the death penalty was there,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24but then again, for somebody like that,
0:24:24 > 0:24:25that would have been too quick.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33During his trial, it emerged that Robert Harvey
0:24:33 > 0:24:35had 32 convictions for burglary.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39He also had convictions for criminal damage and threats to kill.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Police footage taken at his home reveals some
0:24:46 > 0:24:49of the paraphernalia and spoils of his criminal activity.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Robert Harvey never gave a convincing account of the events
0:25:02 > 0:25:05of 9th October, the night Tilly Campbell died.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10However, police investigations did establish his movements.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It emerged that, on the night of the murder,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Harvey had been drinking heavily with friends and had stated
0:25:17 > 0:25:20he would "kill for money".
0:25:21 > 0:25:24He had continued drinking after leaving their company
0:25:24 > 0:25:27and ploughed the last of his money into a poker machine.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Broke and frustrated, he returned to Barnagh Park in the early hours.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39He broke into the property of his vulnerable and elderly neighbour,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41believing her to have cash in the house,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44saved up for a new mobility scooter.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55When Tilly Campbell interrupted the burglary,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Robert Harvey attacked her in a frenzy.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02He dragged her into the spare room,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05where she was later found, huddled on the floor.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10After the murder, Harvey set fire to the house,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13in an attempt to cover his crime.
0:26:19 > 0:26:25This was a brutal and vicious attack upon a defenceless 77-year-old lady,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28in her own home - the place where she should feel safe
0:26:28 > 0:26:30and where she'd feel comfortable.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33She was attacked by a neighbour, someone known to her.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35This lady should have been able to
0:26:35 > 0:26:37live out her days in her home, peacefully.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41After the death of her husband, Tilly Campbell had sought
0:26:41 > 0:26:44the comfort and security of Barnagh Park and its community.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47She had no idea that her life would be taken
0:26:47 > 0:26:50by someone so close to home.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Tilly was a trusting, popular member of the community,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58who believed in giving, not taking.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04She was like a mother to me. She took me under her wing.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07She would have done extra things for me.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10She loved her home, her garden. That is my memories of Tilly.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Tilly loved to shop.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25We went to car boot sales. We went round things like that.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30She loved anything to do with bargains or pruck, she loved it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32And when she was going shopping,
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I would come out, everyday clothes, coat over the top,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40but Tilly would come out, the shoes would have matched the scarf,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43the handbag - everything matched. She always was glamorous.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Everybody knew Tilly.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55Her grandkids have lost their grandmother and their kids
0:27:55 > 0:27:57have lost their great-grandmother.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01They'll never remember, because they were too young...
0:28:01 > 0:28:02to remember my mum...
0:28:04 > 0:28:06..so they have missed out on her love.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'd like Tilly to be remembered the way that she was -
0:28:17 > 0:28:22happy, she was very, very glamorous, she was full of life
0:28:22 > 0:28:25and she just loved, she loved company and she loved
0:28:25 > 0:28:26going out and meeting people.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30and she loved a bit of craic. She really was full of life.
