A young woman, little more than a girl, played the part of Rosie and she was filmed drinking with friends in a local bar before receiving a text from her boyfriend and quickly drinking up and saying goodbye. From there she left the bar and walked along a busy street, crossed over, walked into a McDonald’s where her boyfriend was waiting. She was not in McDonald’s long before she left, followed by her boyfriend. He pulled her by the arm, tried to stop her, but she shook him off, yelled at him. She headed off up a side road, her boyfriend following her and shouting insults. That was the last time Rosie was seen alive by any witness, apart from her killer. She entered a park and walked into darkness. The reconstruction attracted a crowd of bystanders, the same people who rush to throw flowers at the spot where someone they do not know has died. Rosie’s boyfriend had agreed to play himself in the reconstruction, a fact that I would imagine counted in his favour. However, one member of the public clearly did not share my view.
