FunTranscript
00:03A night of reggae and celebration at the Blue Mountain Club in Bristol turns into scenes of terror.
00:11When an innocent man is fatally stabbed on the dance floor, another man lies injured on the road, and in
00:17the confusion, clubbers rush to leave the club, trampling all the evidence in their panic.
00:24Eight knives are discovered, but none of them are the weapons used in the crime, and CCTV has not covered
00:30the fight, leaving the deadly events shrouded in mystery.
00:34The police must turn to the community to untangle the murderous events of the night and bring those responsible to
00:41justice.
00:42But as the number of suspects climb, finding conclusive forensic evidence is vital.
00:49Catching a killer requires conclusive forensic evidence.
00:54From clues at the scene of the crime, to minute examination in the forensics lab, from the cold reality of
01:02the pathologist's table, to DNA sampling, digital analysis, each piece of killer evidence brings the murderer closer to justice.
01:21Friday, the 29th of December 2017, the Blue Mountain Club in Bristol is holding a black and gold reggae night.
01:30It's packed with people having a great time, including Jamal Powell, a hard-working plasterer and father of five, together
01:38with his two brothers.
01:40Suddenly, a fight breaks out.
01:43Jamal, also known as Jamma, is stabbed on the dance floor.
01:51Moments later, another man, Earl Anderson, is stabbed just outside the club.
01:57People frantically called 999, and within minutes, police arrived to discover scenes of chaos.
02:05Former Avon and Somerset Detective Chief Inspector James Riccio is assigned to the case.
02:12We're at the location where the Blue Mountain nightclub used to be.
02:14There was lots of officers who attended to help manage the scene.
02:17Obviously, it was panic, it was chaos.
02:19People realised someone had been stabbed, and another member of the public had been stabbed outside, so people were really
02:24concerned about their safety.
02:27Officers have to ensure that the remaining revellers are safe from any further attacks, whilst trying their best to preserve
02:33the crime scene.
02:34You've got a nightclub with 200 people or more, various people leaving the scene, people trampling over the crime scene
02:42there.
02:42We didn't really understand what was going on at that point.
02:45We knew Jamma Powell had been stabbed on the dance floor, but Jamma was nowhere near to be seen.
02:49We also had Earl Anderson outside, known locally as Unk.
02:53He was led on the ground on the road, parallel to the nightclub.
02:57He'd been stabbed two times, and he was being treated as well.
03:00At that point, we didn't know if we had unrelated incidents, who was responsible,
03:05and we didn't know at that point if Anderson was going to survive, and we didn't know if Jamma Powell
03:09was going to survive.
03:09So for police, it was very, very confusing to try and to unpick exactly what happened, why it happened, and
03:16who was responsible.
03:21The officers then went and identified the scene on a dance floor where they believed that the initial incident took
03:25place.
03:25It's clear from the blood on the dance floor and initial witness accounts that the attack on Jamma Powell happened
03:32here.
03:36But the first problem for investigators is that the crime scene has been trampled by the other clubbers in their
03:42rush to escape.
03:44Any post-incident activity has the potential to distort, change, remove the bloodstains that I want to look at.
03:56Foot traffic is probably our worst enemy in that respect, because if I walk through a pool of blood,
04:01I'm going to now start to track that blood around that space.
04:06And if all of the bloodstain patterns have been disturbed to a point that they're no longer reflecting what was
04:15there originally,
04:16then we just have to deal with what's in front of us.
04:19The team also need to establish whose blood it is.
04:25It's quite difficult as a crime scene manager to attend a crime scene like that,
04:29because where do you start?
04:32Does all the blood relate to your victim?
04:35Or has there been several victims?
04:37Or has the offender also been injured?
04:40And therefore there's a mixture of different blood.
04:43And then that means that we have to sample lots of different areas of the blood.
04:47We would fast track them to the lab and get them DNA profiled.
04:51And then they could say if it was a single source DNA or if there were multiple people's DNA in
04:55there.
05:01After we locked down the crime scene, we identified eight knives in the locality,
05:04the dance floor, the bar area and the kitchen area, they were seized for a forensic examination.
05:10The knives may have been dumped by panicking clubbers as they rushed away,
05:14but they're sent off to see if any were used in the two stabbings.
05:18The next urgent priority is to establish quickly whether any witnesses have seen the attacks take place.
05:26It's crucial. They call it the golden hour for any strong investigation.
05:30That's what the training for all detectives and investigators comes down to, that golden hour.
05:36The golden hour is about trying to race down and corral all the key evidence as quickly as possible before
05:42it degrades.
05:43Before, in some cases, the witness walks out the door, before they forget,
05:46because getting the immediate account, that's invaluable.
05:51Witness is memory. It's fragile and often degrades and not all of it can be relied upon,
05:58particularly after a traumatic incident.
06:01But insofar as it can be relied upon, you better get it done and get it done quickly.
06:07While the police continue to search for evidence,
06:10reports come in that Earl Anderson, the second stabbing victim,
06:14has been driven to hospital by one of the clubbers.
06:17He's an older local Bristol man, fondly known as Unc,
06:20and well-known to many of the people in the club that night.
06:24Officers attended hospital and they spoke with medics,
06:26and they were told that he had a head injury and he had wounds to his spleen.
06:30Anderson said he didn't know how he'd been stabbed,
06:33he was dancing, didn't really understand what happened and who'd done it.
06:36Fortunately, his wounds don't appear to be life-threatening.
06:41Meanwhile, the other victim, Jamal Powell,
06:43has also been rushed to hospital by his brother.
06:47Jamal was a 37-year-old male from Bristol East, was a father of five.
06:51He's well-known around Bristol, did lots of work in the community.
06:55Even though he's a plasterer by trade,
06:56day-to-day he'll be helping the community and helping community members.
07:00Jamal was well-loved, well-cherished,
07:03and for him to be stabbed in such blatant circumstances,
07:07petrified, horrified the community.
07:09Jamal arrived around 20 past three at the local hospital.
07:12It was identified really quickly that he'd been stabbed.
07:14He was still alert, he was still lucid,
07:17but in a really, really serious condition.
07:19They took his T-shirt off, a Calvin Klein T-shirt,
07:22about 11 slash wounds to it.
07:24He quickly deteriorated.
07:27Staff at the hospital did their best to save him,
07:29but he had two cardiac arrests and sadly died.
07:39As DCI Rickiel now upgrades this to a murder investigation,
07:43the medics bring something else to his attention.
07:46Jamal, when he went to hospital, he was searched by medical staff,
07:50and there was a small folding knife found in his pocket.
07:52This was preserved by staff,
07:55handed to police to be part of the criminal investigation.
07:58Along with the eight other knives collected from the club,
08:01Jamal's pocket knife will be forensically tested.
08:04DCI Rickiel needs to know whether it was used in the incident.
08:08Jamal having a knife,
08:09it certainly gives a potential line of defence to any offender
08:13in regards to self-defence.
08:15That was my initial consideration.
08:19Jamal's body is sent for a post-mortem
08:21to assess exactly how he died.
08:27Something like a stabbing incident.
08:29We're trying to be helpful to the police
08:31and say what type of knife we think it is.
08:33So we'll be looking at the injury in the surface of the skin.
08:36What does it look like?
08:38Does it look...
08:39Is it a long, narrow triangle?
08:42Is it a long, narrow rectangle?
08:45Is it like an oval, an ellipse?
08:48We're very interested in examining each of the wounds
08:52and seeing if they match up, if you like.
08:55So that if it's one knife
08:57that could have caused all of these injuries.
08:59Or there could be more than one knife.
09:01If there's more than one knife,
09:02it could have been more than one perpetrator.
09:11So the key findings were that Jamal had been stabbed 12 times.
09:14Most of them died on the left side of his neck and his chest area.
09:19The most significant injury was the stab wound to the heart.
09:23A 13-centimetre injection, two centimetres wide,
09:27which went through the ventricle into the heart, which was fatal.
09:31In my experience,
09:32stabbing someone to the depth of 13 centimetres
09:34does need some force to get to that level.
09:40The pathologist couldn't say if it was one knife or multiple knives,
09:44and also she couldn't say if it was one or more offenders,
09:46because there was nothing really significant around the wounds.
09:53The team are hoping that Jamal's clothing
09:56may be more fruitful in providing clues
09:58as to the identity or number of perpetrators.
10:01The Calvin Klein T-shirt clearly shone 11 slash wounds.
10:05All the clothing were sent for a forensic examination.
10:07We need to identify that there wasn't someone's DNA on there,
10:11someone who was close to Jamal when he was stabbed.
10:15Jamal Powell is dead
10:17after a vicious and deliberate knife attack,
10:20while Earl Anderson is in a hospital bed
10:22recovering from stab wounds.
10:24What started as a double stabbing in a nightclub
10:27is now a murder investigation.
10:30DCI James Riccio must act fast
10:32to catch the killer
10:34before all the evidence is destroyed.
10:46A black and gold reggae party
10:49in a Bristol nightclub
10:50has turned into carnage.
10:55Jamal Powell is dead,
10:57while Earl Anderson lies in a hospital bed
11:00with serious knife wounds.
11:02Blood on the dance floor,
11:03which could have provided evidence
11:05about how the attack unfolded,
11:07has been trampled by panicking party-goers.
11:11Eight knives are seized from the club
11:13and another from Jamal's pocket.
11:16The post-mortem reveals that Jamal died
11:19from a forceful stab wound through his heart.
11:23Jamal's slash clothing
11:24is sent for forensic examination
11:26to see if there's anyone else's DNA on it.
11:31Jamal Powell is dead
11:33and DCI Riccio has commenced a murder inquiry.
11:36There were over 200 revellers on the night,
11:39but most fled the scene terrified.
11:41Police must act quickly
11:42to prevent further reprisals.
11:45But Riccio's main challenge
11:46is to persuade enough brave people
11:47to come forward
11:48and speak about what they saw.
11:55Some witnesses were treated anonymously.
11:59They were in fear of their own safety.
12:01They'd seen a male being stabbed 12 times
12:04in blatant circumstances
12:05and they were petrified.
12:07They were horrified.
12:08So some witnesses had to be carefully managed,
12:11had to be very much reassured.
12:15Witness care officers,
12:16and specially trained interrogators,
12:18understand that people
12:20who've been privy to a traumatic event
12:22often find it difficult to recall.
12:24So they understand
12:25how to relax vulnerable witnesses.
12:27And they also understand
12:29that it is a very anxious
12:30and perhaps the most stressful thing
12:32they've ever seen
12:33and come across in their lives.
12:35A calm and relaxed
12:37and carefully managed witness
12:39is someone who gives
12:41a much more accurate picture
12:42of the events
12:43that they have experienced.
12:49So a key security member
12:51gave us an account
12:52very, very quickly.
12:53But Jammer was in the club
12:55speaking to the manager,
12:56looked very relaxed,
12:57very well known,
12:58arrived about quarter to three.
13:00The same witness also told us
13:02that Anderson
13:03and a gentleman
13:04called Power were present.
13:06Power looked very agitated.
13:07The security guard suggests
13:09that Earl Anderson,
13:10the man they found
13:11stabbed outside the club,
13:12may have himself been involved
13:14in the murder.
13:15He also gives them
13:17a new name,
13:18Ian Power.
13:20Ian Power had a nickname
13:21of Ratty.
13:22Power is a 40-year-old male.
13:24He resides in Gloucester
13:25at the time of the incident.
13:26However,
13:27his links are to Bristol.
13:29He was well known
13:30and people in the club
13:31recognised him as Ratty.
13:33He entered the club
13:34that night
13:34about two o'clock.
13:36He was dressed in all denim.
13:37The security man's account
13:39suggests that Ian Power
13:40and Earl Anderson
13:41were looking for trouble.
13:43They approached Jammer
13:44on the dance floor
13:45and then an incident
13:47took place.
13:48Jammer was injured
13:48on the left side.
13:50He'd been stabbed repeatedly.
13:52He was holding his left side.
13:53Other bystanders
13:54also named Power and Anderson
13:56as the attackers.
13:57There were so many
13:58witnesses to this.
13:59This was a blatant stabbing
14:00in a packed nightclub
14:02of a local community
14:03where actually
14:04people recognised people.
14:05Officers
14:06very, very quickly
14:07pieced together
14:08that Jammer had been stabbed
14:09by Power and Anderson.
14:12But police need more
14:13than just witness statements.
14:15So DCI Riccio
14:17orders an immediate review
14:18of all the CCTV
14:20from the club
14:21and the surrounding streets
14:22to identify
14:23and track Anderson,
14:24Power and Jamal.
14:26CCTV is a crucial line
14:27of inquiry
14:28for any homicide investigation
14:29to give us a timeline
14:30of exactly who arrived,
14:32when they arrived,
14:32what they were wearing,
14:33any weapons were obvious
14:34and highly fled the scene.
14:36In an unexpected turn
14:38of events,
14:39Power turns up
14:40at a police station
14:41in Gloucester.
14:42He's immediately arrested
14:44on suspicion of murder
14:45and transported to Bristol
14:47to be interviewed.
14:51An offender might try
14:53and gain the upper hand
14:54by bringing himself
14:56to the police station
14:58rather than being caught
14:59and then trying to dominate
15:01and steer the course
15:03of the conversation,
15:05believing that he can
15:07really control the narrative.
15:09And they have a kind
15:10of fantasy, I guess,
15:12that this will show
15:13their innocent.
15:14In his mind,
15:15he's going to be
15:16outsmarting the police.
15:27Power initially gave officers
15:28an account where
15:29he said he'd been involved
15:30in a fight.
15:31He didn't relay
15:32that he'd stabbed anyone,
15:33he didn't mention
15:34any noise whatsoever,
15:35just the fact, actually,
15:37he'd been hit on the head
15:38in the Blue Mountain Club
15:39and he was fearing
15:40for his own safety.
15:43Ian Power mentioned
15:44that Errol Anderson
15:45was also present.
15:46He was there
15:47when Jammer was stabbed.
15:48For us,
15:49that was hugely significant
15:50and hugely beneficial
15:51for our evidence.
15:52In custody,
15:53we requested to Power's solicitor
15:56that we want to take
15:56his fingernail scrapings
15:57and hair combings.
15:58However,
15:59he refused
16:00those samples.
16:05Whenever anyone's arrested,
16:07the police will want
16:08to take fingerprints,
16:10a photograph,
16:11a DNA sample.
16:12Any suspect
16:14is entitled
16:15to refuse
16:16in exactly the same way
16:18that they have
16:19an absolute right
16:20to either answer questions
16:21and interview
16:22or to make no comment.
16:24But if they refuse
16:26to give a sample
16:27and they're subsequently charged,
16:28the judge will say
16:29to the jury,
16:30if you think
16:31there is no reasonable
16:32excuse for not giving
16:33the sample,
16:34you're entitled
16:35to hold that against them
16:36and it will add support
16:38to the prosecution case.
16:41So on Saturday
16:42at 2.50pm,
16:44officers attended
16:46the hospital
16:47to arrest
16:47Errol Anderson.
16:50Meanwhile,
16:51detectives are analysing
16:52the club's CCTV
16:53to identify key suspects
16:55and establish
16:56a sequence of events.
16:59They had a camera
17:00on the entrance
17:01and exit,
17:02so we were able
17:03to see everyone
17:04coming into the club,
17:05including the victim,
17:06including the suspects.
17:10When you have
17:11a potential suspect
17:12on CCTV footage,
17:14one of the first things
17:16that you should do
17:18is do a clothing breakdown.
17:22This is obviously
17:22taken inside of a club.
17:24There's lots of people
17:25in there.
17:26And it's almost
17:28like a sauna.
17:29The lens is obviously
17:29cloudy and quality
17:30is not perfect.
17:32That's where
17:33a clothing profile
17:35is invaluable.
17:37What are they wearing?
17:38Does it have logos on it?
17:39They all give you
17:41the ability
17:41to separate
17:42the one person
17:44perhaps from the crowd.
17:49The CCTV team
17:50were either
17:50to identify fully
17:52when Howard arrived
17:53at nine minutes past two.
17:54He was dressed
17:55in all denim,
17:56denim shirt,
17:57denim jeans.
17:59Anderson arrived
18:00much earlier.
18:01He was wearing
18:01a baseball cap
18:02with the word
18:03or logo obey on.
18:04And he was wearing
18:05a dark, black
18:07and red
18:08baseball-type jacket.
18:10And again,
18:10we were able
18:11to identify
18:12what Jammer was wearing
18:13very, very quickly
18:13and he was identified.
18:15While CCTV
18:16shows the men
18:17before the attack,
18:18the actual stabbing
18:19on the dance floor
18:20is not captured.
18:22It's a huge blow
18:24to the investigation,
18:25meaning the police
18:26must search
18:26for more evidence,
18:27starting with
18:28the suspect's phone records
18:29around the time
18:30of the attack
18:31at the club.
18:35Nine minutes past three,
18:37Power made calls
18:37to a friend
18:38while still in the vicinity
18:39at the Blue Mountain Club
18:40at the time
18:41of the attack.
18:42At 3.14,
18:43five minutes later,
18:44Power contacted Anderson,
18:46showing direct communication
18:46between the two men
18:47immediately following
18:48the incident.
18:50At 3.38,
18:52Power's phone activity
18:53was tagged
18:54in the Gloucester area,
18:56consistent with him
18:57leaving Bristol
18:57and returning home
18:58after the incident.
19:01The telephone records help,
19:03but they don't tell police
19:04what was said.
19:07Then a key witness
19:08comes forward
19:09with information
19:10about the stabbing.
19:11The witness wanted
19:12to give his evidence
19:13to support the family,
19:14support the local community,
19:15and that he was horrified
19:16that this would take place
19:17in a public place.
19:19He was standing
19:19near the cash machine
19:20by the bar
19:21when Jammer entered the club,
19:22smiling and greeting someone.
19:24He noticed a man
19:25in a baseball cap
19:26with the words
19:27obey on it,
19:27and had a red and black jacket.
19:29We now believe
19:30this was Errol Anderson.
19:32He then describes
19:33a man in a blue denim jacket
19:34with a facial scar.
19:36We know this is Ratty,
19:37Ian Power.
19:39He also mentions
19:40a woman in a black dress,
19:41aged around 35 to 45.
19:43He saw the man in the cap
19:45and the man in denim
19:45talking, looking towards Jammer.
19:47He also mentions
19:48the woman in a black dress
19:49spoke with both men,
19:50appearing involved
19:51in their interaction.
19:52We didn't know
19:53who that was.
19:54The witness then watches
19:55as that man in the denim
19:57then approaches Jammer
19:58and moments later,
20:00a fight ensues.
20:01What he describes,
20:02the man in denim
20:03swinging his arms
20:04back and forward
20:04towards Jammer.
20:06He's then assisted
20:06by another man in a cap
20:08who makes a hitting motion.
20:09After the incident,
20:10he describes Jammer
20:11staggered behind him,
20:12bleeding heavily
20:12from his left side.
20:14The witness then goes outside
20:15and what he then sees
20:16is the man in the cap
20:17lying on the ground
20:18and he also sees
20:20the woman again
20:20in the black dress
20:21speaking to him
20:22moments before police arrived.
20:24Were she involved
20:25in the conspiracy
20:26to murder Jammer
20:27or was she involved
20:28in assisting an offender
20:29as they fled the scene?
20:32Police set up
20:32an ID procedure
20:33to confirm
20:34whether the witness
20:35can recognise
20:36Power and Anderson
20:37from the club.
20:38But ID procedures
20:40aren't guaranteed
20:41to be conclusive.
20:47So human memory
20:48is fallible.
20:49It's not like
20:50a perfect recording device.
20:52It's affected
20:53by all kinds
20:54of other factors
20:55including,
20:56for example,
20:57stress, anxiety,
20:59arousal, confusion.
21:00If there's a lot going on
21:02and it's a highly
21:03emotional scene,
21:04that's going to impact
21:05on memory.
21:06During the identification
21:07procedures,
21:08a witness initially
21:09identified the in power
21:10as the man
21:10who attacked Jammer.
21:12In the second ID procedure,
21:14he identified
21:15Darrell Anderson
21:16and that was the man
21:17who hit Jammer.
21:19While the witness's
21:20positive IDs
21:21are a key breakthrough
21:22for the investigation,
21:24with no footage
21:25of the attack itself,
21:26detectives need
21:27to corroborate his account.
21:31Gradually,
21:31more witnesses
21:32come forward,
21:33including another clubber.
21:35She knew Jammer.
21:36She greeted him normally.
21:38As they gathered
21:38near the bar,
21:39she noticed
21:40Ian Ratty Power
21:41standing by the wall,
21:43repeatedly glancing
21:44at Jammer.
21:45She describes him
21:46as spying on Jammer,
21:48watching him
21:49intently and pacing.
21:51Second later,
21:52Power lunged at Jammer,
21:53triggering the start
21:54of an incident.
21:55Crucial because
21:56these key witnesses
21:57were all saying
21:57the same similar thing.
21:59That Jammer come in,
22:00good demeanor,
22:01good spirits,
22:02complete opposite
22:03for Power and Anderson.
22:04they were looking over,
22:06they were in tent
22:07and they approached him
22:08and they committed
22:09a serious offence
22:10against Jammer Powell.
22:11Witness accounts
22:12help detectives
22:13work out a timeline,
22:14which is corroborated
22:16by footage
22:16from the club's entrance.
22:18At 1.59 in the morning,
22:20one minute to two,
22:20we know Anderson
22:21and Power
22:22entered the club.
22:23When Jammer Powell
22:24entered the club
22:25at 2.30,
22:25we know his brothers
22:26Rafiki and Mikhail
22:28were also present.
22:29At 2.45,
22:30we know there was
22:30some tension in the club
22:31and there were
22:32some stares,
22:33some glares.
22:33So at 3.00 a.m.,
22:34Power was seen
22:35on the CCTV
22:36to approach Jammer.
22:37He was seen
22:38to take a knife
22:38from his jacket.
22:40He was seen
22:40to be assisted
22:41by Anderson.
22:42We also identified
22:43that Ian Power
22:44and Anderson
22:45tried to flee the scene
22:46with Jammer Powell,
22:48brothers Rafiki
22:48and Mikhail
22:49following behind.
22:55Police now
22:56have witness statements
22:57backed up
22:58by CCTV
22:59and phone data
23:00and they decide
23:01to charge
23:02Power and Anderson
23:03with Jamal's murder.
23:05Both men are remanded
23:06in custody
23:06and the police
23:07begin the painstaking task
23:09of gathering
23:10more forensic evidence
23:11to try and consolidate
23:12their murder case.
23:25Jamal Powell
23:26has been brutally stabbed
23:2712 times
23:28in a Bristol nightclub.
23:31Evidence gathered so far
23:33includes eight knives
23:37and another knife
23:39in Jamal's pocket.
23:41His clothes,
23:42slashed in the attack,
23:43have been sent for testing
23:45to see if any DNA
23:46from a suspect
23:47is present.
23:50Multiple witnesses
23:51have named
23:52Ian Power
23:53and Earl Anderson
23:54as the attackers.
23:57CCTV from the club
23:58has shown them both
23:59moments before
24:00and after
24:01an altercation
24:02with Jamal.
24:04Phone records
24:05showed the two suspects
24:06talking soon
24:07after the stabbing
24:09and now a witness
24:11has positively
24:12identified the pair.
24:14DCI James Riccio
24:15has charged both
24:16Anderson
24:17and Power
24:18with Jamal's murder.
24:19With both men
24:21on remand,
24:22the police must gather
24:23more evidence
24:24but they must also
24:25investigate the attack
24:26on Anderson.
24:27After stabbing Jamal,
24:28both men fled the club
24:30pursued by Jamal's
24:31brothers,
24:32Mikhail
24:32and Rafiki
24:33who caught up
24:34with them
24:34on the road.
24:36It's a sensitive situation.
24:37Their brother
24:38had just died.
24:43Inside the club
24:44just after 3am
24:45we know
24:46that Anderson
24:47was fleeing the scene.
24:49Rafiki
24:50intervened
24:50and stabbed him twice
24:52and we also know
24:53that Mikhail
24:54Powell
24:54on arrest
24:55admitted he hit him
24:56over the head
24:56with a champagne-type bottle.
25:03In this particular case
25:06it's clearly
25:07an act of retribution.
25:08They've chased after
25:09the assailant
25:10of the brother
25:12and so
25:12it will be
25:13very difficult
25:14for them
25:15to then
25:15mount an argument
25:16in favour
25:17of self-defence
25:19because if
25:20they give that evidence
25:21and you're prosecuting
25:22you'll simply say
25:23well
25:24you didn't have to
25:25chase after them
25:25did you?
25:26If it's an act
25:27of considered revenge
25:28as opposed to
25:29a temporary loss
25:30of self-control
25:32what is now
25:33called loss of control
25:33used to be called
25:34provocation
25:35doesn't apply.
25:38Rafiki is charged
25:39with wounding
25:40with intent
25:41and Mikhail
25:42the lesser charge
25:43of aggravated bodily harm.
25:46We never want
25:47to be in a position
25:48to really understand
25:49as humans
25:50what they must have been
25:50feeling as brothers
25:51knowing their brother
25:52had been stabbed
25:53and likely was going
25:54to die.
25:56This was really
25:56really difficult
25:57because we do this
25:58for the family
25:58we do this
25:59for the community
25:59we do this
26:00because we want
26:01to bring to justice
26:02those people
26:02who killed Jamma
26:04but actually
26:05stabbing people
26:06is no way
26:06for the retribution
26:07to be laid out
26:08we need to do that
26:09in the courts.
26:10So we knew
26:10as an investigation team
26:11we need to explain
26:12that to the family
26:14they were absolutely
26:15brilliant
26:16in regards
26:16to understanding it.
26:20Detectives
26:21turned their focus
26:22onto the identity
26:23of the woman
26:23who was with
26:24Power and Anderson.
26:26We soon identified
26:28by collating
26:29all the witness statements
26:29together
26:30that she'd been
26:30identified as
26:31Julia Campbell.
26:34She was well known
26:35in the community
26:36she previously ran
26:37the Black Swan
26:38as a landlady
26:39in 2009
26:39she knew lots of people.
26:41An off-duty nurse
26:42who treated
26:42Earl Anderson
26:43outside the club
26:44also mentioned her.
26:47She said
26:47a woman appeared
26:48beside the man
26:49who'd been injured
26:50calling him
26:51uncle
26:51and saying
26:52it's me
26:52attempting to help him.
26:54This was crucial.
26:55The nurse
26:56took out her phone
26:57and dialed 999
26:58requesting an ambulance.
26:59The woman said to her
27:01we don't need
27:01an ambulance
27:02or police.
27:03This conversation
27:04is heard
27:04on the 999 call.
27:08The nurse
27:08noticed the cap
27:09lying on the ground
27:10the same woman
27:11placed it
27:12back onto
27:12the person's head
27:13who was laying
27:13on the ground.
27:14She then heard
27:15the male say
27:16where's my knife?
27:18On the ground nearby
27:19she saw two
27:20closed folding knives.
27:22Crucially
27:22Juliet Campbell
27:23takes his knives
27:24away from the scene.
27:26Having told the nurse
27:28not to call 999
27:29and potentially
27:30removing the murder weapons
27:32Juliet Campbell
27:33committed one final act
27:34to stop officers
27:35catching power
27:37after he fled the club.
27:41Her instruction
27:42to the police officer
27:43to go in one direction
27:44when we know
27:45from CCTV
27:45actually the suspects
27:47fell in another direction.
27:48She should be coming forward
27:49and helping the police
27:50solve this crime
27:51and she was doing
27:52the complete opposite.
27:53Those three salient points
27:55were significant
27:56for us asking the CPS
27:58to consider her conduct
27:59for a charge of perverting
28:01the course of justice.
28:06Perverting the course
28:07of justice
28:07simply means
28:09doing something
28:10deliberately
28:11or omitting
28:12to do something
28:13deliberately
28:14which has the effect
28:15of hindering
28:16the police investigation
28:18to assist somebody
28:20evade capture
28:20or evade detection.
28:22And the starting point
28:24for any offence
28:25of attempting
28:26to pervert
28:26the course of justice
28:27is likely to be
28:28an immediate prison sentence.
28:31With the two attackers
28:33and their accomplice
28:34charged and in custody
28:35police turned their attention
28:37to gathering evidence
28:38to back up
28:38the court case.
28:40The forensic evidence
28:41was crucial
28:42because when we considered
28:43their interviews
28:43they both went no comment.
28:45We know they're
28:45in the vicinity of the club
28:46power has admitted
28:47that on arrest.
28:48We got CCTV
28:49in the vicinity of the club
28:50but we haven't got CCTV
28:51in the actual incident.
28:52They remain hopeful
28:53that tests on Jamal's t-shirt
28:55will provide vital evidence.
28:57It undergoes
28:58forensic examination
28:59to see if there was
29:00any foreign DNA there
29:02which would indicate
29:02someone else present
29:03when he was killed.
29:04However there wasn't.
29:05The only DNA found
29:06on Jamal's clothing
29:07was his own blood.
29:09Having reached a dead end
29:10DCI Riccio
29:12sends the clothing
29:13they see from
29:14Earl Anderson
29:14off for forensic testing
29:16to see if they can find
29:18any traces
29:18of Jamal's DNA
29:20on them.
29:23The murder weapon
29:25would always be
29:26your favourite thing
29:28if it's available
29:29but if not
29:30you'd have to look
29:31at an exchange
29:32of material
29:33between the deceased
29:35the victim in this case
29:37and anybody else
29:38that's interacted
29:39with them
29:39to try to establish
29:41a sequence of events
29:42that may have led
29:43to that person's death.
29:44If a knife has gone
29:45into a body
29:46clearly bleeding
29:47will have happened
29:48on the inside
29:50but the knife itself
29:51is stopping
29:52any of that blood flow
29:53flowing back
29:54even towards the person
29:55that's caused it.
29:56But once that's
29:58a flowing wound
29:58then more impact
30:00with that same person
30:02will cause
30:03more spatter
30:04with the person
30:05who's causing the injuries.
30:07But in that environment
30:09where you're thinking
30:09about a club
30:10and there are lots of people
30:11moving around
30:12and interacting
30:13with each other
30:14then there are
30:15opportunities
30:16for transfer
30:17to occur
30:18without that person
30:20with the blood on them
30:21being responsible
30:22for the attack.
30:27Errol Anderson's genes
30:28contained the DNA
30:30of Jabba Powell.
30:31Not only was on
30:32the outside of the genes
30:33not only was on
30:34the belt area
30:34it was also
30:35within his pocket.
30:37The scientists
30:38relayed that it looked
30:39like actually
30:39Errol Anderson
30:40had DNA
30:42Jabba's blood
30:42on his hands
30:43before they entered
30:44his pocket
30:44hence why they were
30:49on his genes.
30:50The presence
30:51of Jamal's blood
30:52in Errol Anderson's
30:53pockets
30:53is corroborated
30:55by samples
30:55taken in the police station.
30:57When Errol Anderson
30:58was in custody
30:59we took his fingernail
31:00scrapings
31:01and these scrapings
31:02when they were
31:03frenzied examined
31:04revealed the DNA
31:05of Jabba Powell.
31:06So all the frenzied
31:07evidence
31:07brought together
31:08that Errol Anderson
31:09was in an altercation
31:11with Jabba Powell
31:12and when Jamal Powell
31:14bled
31:14Errol Anderson
31:15must have been
31:16very very close
31:17and therefore
31:17for us
31:18we're able to say
31:19that actually
31:20that's absolute
31:20evidence
31:21putting the two
31:21together
31:22on that dance floor.
31:23They now need
31:24to find the clothes
31:25that Ian Power
31:26was wearing
31:26at the club
31:27to carry out
31:28the same tests.
31:29When we searched
31:30Ian Power's address
31:31in Gloucester
31:31he'd obviously
31:32had the opportunity
31:33to go home that night
31:33so searching his address
31:35in regards
31:35we were looking
31:36for the areas
31:36or the clothing
31:37he was wearing
31:38that night
31:38which we know
31:39is denim
31:39and what officer
31:41sees from his
31:42home address
31:42in Gloucester
31:43was light blue jeans
31:44denim shirt
31:45and a denim jacket.
31:47Power's clothing
31:48is also tested
31:49forensically
31:49and the results
31:50come back.
31:51On his light blue jeans
31:53he had light blood
31:53stain on the front
31:54the belt
31:55and the inside
31:56right pocket
31:57and he also had
31:58blood staining
31:59on the back
31:59of the lower
32:00right leg
32:00and the DNA
32:01on all this
32:02matched Jammer Powell.
32:06So the frenzy
32:07evidence against
32:08Power
32:08again
32:09similar to
32:10Errol Anson
32:10placed him
32:11at the scene
32:12in the nightclub
32:13in the dance floor
32:14either in direct
32:16contact
32:16with Jammer Powell
32:17when he was bleeding
32:18or very close by.
32:20For us again
32:20it was absolute
32:21evidence
32:21that he was involved
32:22with Errol Anson
32:23in the killing
32:25of Jammer Powell.
32:25When Jamal
32:26died in hospital
32:27the nurses
32:28retrieved
32:28a folding knife
32:29from his pocket
32:30which is also examined.
32:32So the knife
32:33was an initial concern
32:34because actually
32:36any defendant
32:37can maybe possibly
32:38use that
32:38in their defence
32:39to say
32:39actually
32:40it was self-defence
32:41it wasn't murder.
32:44This is
32:45a hinged knife
32:48so it's got
32:49several moving parts
32:50to it
32:51and
32:52the interesting
32:53thing about
32:55weapons
32:55and tools
32:56and tools
32:56like this
32:56is
32:56there's
32:57quite a lot
32:58of areas
32:59where evidence
33:00can get caught
33:01there's a lot
33:02of intricate
33:04parts of this knife
33:05where there could
33:05be DNA still
33:06lodged
33:07hair still lodged
33:08fibre still lodged
33:09etc.
33:09And of course
33:10you're not just
33:11looking at the blade
33:11if I open this knife
33:13up further
33:13like this
33:14you can see
33:15there's potential
33:16for a lot of debris
33:17actually in
33:18the device itself
33:20and this is where
33:21we would target
33:22our examination
33:23so we're not
33:24necessarily just
33:25swabbing the obvious
33:27parts
33:27we're actually
33:28swabbing inside
33:29the mechanisms
33:30of the knife
33:30that's why it's
33:31really important
33:32to search something
33:33with a torch
33:33because you can
33:34actually see
33:35where there might
33:36be forensic evidence
33:38on a tool
33:40The forensic examination
33:42helps massively
33:43there was no blood
33:44on the knife
33:45which helps us
33:45brilliantly
33:46there was DNA
33:47on the knife
33:47which was not
33:48linked in power
33:49and not Errol Anderson
33:50we were then
33:51able to infer
33:52with a great deal
33:53of confidence
33:53that actually
33:54although Jabba Powell
33:55carried that knife
33:56and he had it
33:57in his pocket
33:57he didn't withdraw it
33:59he didn't use it
34:00in self defence
34:00and he certainly
34:01didn't use it
34:01to stab
34:02Powell Anderson first
34:04so therefore
34:04we were confident
34:05that that knife
34:06remained in his pocket
34:07at all times
34:08The eight knives
34:08recovered from the scene
34:09are also tested
34:10in the hope of finding
34:11if any of them
34:12were used in the attack
34:14The general feeling
34:15was that actually
34:15we didn't think
34:16we had the murder weapon
34:18but all various knives
34:20were seized
34:21from around the club
34:22in the kitchen area
34:23in the bar area
34:24any we found
34:25on the floor
34:25none of those knives
34:26had traces of blood
34:27and two knives
34:27were used in the attack
34:28we never recovered
34:29the murder weapon
34:31Even without the knives
34:32that were used
34:33in the killing
34:33DCI Riccio
34:34believes he has
34:35a strong case
34:36that proves
34:37Ian Power
34:38and Errol Anderson
34:39murdered Jamal
34:40but there's one
34:41burning question
34:42that remains unanswered
34:44I still didn't know
34:45why Anderson and Power
34:47had stabbed Jamal
34:48on this evening
34:49the way they've approached
34:50the outrageousness
34:51if you like
34:52of attacking someone
34:53on a packed
34:54local dance floor
34:55had to be premeditated
34:57because we had
34:5812 stab wounds
34:58to the victim
34:59we had the fact
35:00that they were
35:01on the phone
35:01before they arrived
35:02and we had the fact
35:04that two knives
35:05significantly were used
35:06they both had weapons
35:07motive is important
35:09because it completes
35:10the story
35:11completes the story
35:11for the jury
35:12if we haven't got motive
35:13intelligent people
35:14will always ask why
35:14To dig deeper
35:16DCI Riccio
35:17carries out
35:17background checks
35:18known as victimology
35:22Victimology is essentially
35:23about mapping
35:24the social
35:27links, connections
35:28a person has
35:29the history
35:29how they lived their lives
35:31on a daily basis
35:32how they lived their life
35:33in the past
35:33and who their connections are
35:34either social media
35:36daily interactions
35:37friends, family
35:38and business associates
35:40so it gives police
35:41an opportunity
35:42to think
35:43and to understand
35:44who might
35:44want to do
35:45this person harm
35:46and who perhaps
35:47is a leading suspect
35:49and whether perhaps
35:50there's any history
35:51or beef
35:52in the background
35:53which might explain
35:54the events
35:54The checks lead detectives
35:56to an unexpected link
35:58Errol Anderson
35:59was described
35:59as a nickname
36:00of Uncle
36:01what we didn't know
36:02at this time
36:02he was Powell's
36:03actual uncle
36:04With the family
36:05connection established
36:06the background checks
36:07also finally reveal
36:09what DCI Riccio
36:10believes is a motive
36:11and we were able
36:13to establish that
36:14Power had a grudge
36:15against Jammer
36:16this was related
36:17to an incident
36:19which occurred
36:19in Leicester
36:20in 2014
36:21where allegedly
36:22Jammer slashed him
36:23across the face
36:24so for me
36:25I believe very much
36:26there was a premeditated
36:27attack
36:27where Ian Power
36:29was seeking revenge
36:34grudges are fascinating
36:35to me
36:36as a forensic psychologist
36:37I see lots of people
36:39who have grievances
36:41they may have
36:42legitimate grounds
36:43for their anger
36:44or their pain
36:45they may remember
36:47an abuser
36:48or somebody
36:49who hurt them
36:50in the past
36:51but what they can do
36:52is they can really
36:54ruminate
36:55and obsess
36:56about these
36:58experiences
36:59it doesn't really
37:00help them to move on
37:01in any way
37:02or process the trauma
37:03but it gives them
37:05a focus for everything
37:06for their rage
37:07their pain
37:08their anger
37:08their sense of
37:09humiliation
37:10or helplessness
37:12so grudges
37:13can absolutely lead
37:14to committing acts
37:16of violent crime
37:17and often times
37:18people who commit
37:19these violent acts
37:20have rehearsed them
37:21they've prepared
37:22for them
37:23and they've imagined
37:24over and over again
37:25the extreme joy
37:27and satisfaction
37:27of committing
37:29the final
37:30violent act
37:33the trial is set
37:35for the 29th of June
37:372018
37:38at Bristol Crown Court
37:40James Riccio
37:41believes he has
37:41a concrete case
37:43against Power
37:44and Anderson
37:44for the murder
37:45of Jamal Powell
37:47who was lethally
37:48stabbed 12 times
37:49also on trial
37:50is Juliet Campbell
37:52a well-known landlady
37:53for perverting
37:54the course of justice
37:55on the night
37:56of the murder
37:57additional defendants
37:58include Jamal's brothers
38:00Mikhail and Rafiki
38:01for their attack
38:02on Earl Anderson
38:04Jamal's family
38:05are devastated
38:06by the events
38:07of just one night
38:08but the whole community
38:10have been supporting
38:11them throughout
38:21father of five
38:22Jamal Powell
38:23has been brutally
38:24murdered
38:24at a reggae night
38:26in Bristol
38:29detectives
38:29have uncovered
38:30CCTV footage
38:31that puts
38:32the two main suspects
38:33Earl Anderson
38:34and Ian Power
38:35in the club
38:36witnesses
38:37confirmed
38:38that the two men
38:39approached Jamal
38:39on the dance floor
38:40and attacked him
38:42post-mortem evidence
38:44shows that he was
38:45stabbed 12 times
38:46including
38:46a 13 cm deep wound
38:49into his heart
38:49which killed him
38:50mobile phone analysis
38:53puts the two suspects
38:54together in the nightclub
38:55at the time
38:56of the attack
38:59forensic analysis
39:00of both men's clothing
39:01confirms the presence
39:03of Jamal Powell's blood
39:06and detectives
39:07are also confident
39:08that they found
39:09a motive
39:09as Ian Power
39:11believed he was
39:12slashed by Jamal Powell
39:13in Leicester
39:14three years earlier
39:15and was seeking revenge
39:18Ian Power
39:19and Earl Anderson
39:20are due to face trial
39:21for the murder of Jamal
39:24also facing trial
39:25are Julia Campbell
39:26for perverting
39:27the course of justice
39:28and Mikkel
39:29and Rafiki Powell
39:30for the attack
39:31on Anderson
39:32DCI James Riccio
39:34is confident
39:35that the evidence
39:36will secure convictions
39:39the trial of the five defendants
39:41begins at Bristol Crown Court
39:43on the 29th of June
39:442018
39:48the court is packed
39:49with people
39:50from the local community
39:51and Jamal's family
39:54joint trials
39:56are a very convenient way
39:58of dealing with
39:59what lawyers call
40:00multi-handed cases
40:03apart from anything else
40:04it means
40:05that the trial
40:06only has to take place once
40:09and it's generally regarded
40:12as in the public interest
40:13for people
40:14who are jointly accused
40:15of the same crime
40:16to be tried
40:17by the same jury
40:18because then you're going
40:19to get consistency
40:20the potential disadvantage
40:23with a multi-handed trial
40:24is that the jury
40:26lose sight of
40:27what's actually going on
40:29because it's all
40:30a bit confusing
40:32going into the trial
40:33I was apprehensive
40:34about the defences
40:36which both
40:37were going to choose
40:38it was very clear
40:39from the empowers defence
40:42that he was going to claim
40:42self-defence
40:43Jamal Powell
40:44had a knife
40:45in his pocket
40:47in regards to
40:48Earl Anderson
40:49it wasn't quite so clear
40:50we weren't sure
40:51if he was going to try
40:52and what they call
40:53cutthroat
40:54and blame
40:55Ian Power
40:56take a lesser role
40:57in the trial
40:58Ian Power confirmed
40:59two key elements
41:00one he was present
41:02a big brawl
41:03in the nightclub
41:04and secondly
41:04he admitted
41:05that he grabbed
41:06a corkscrew-like object
41:07and thrusted it
41:09towards
41:10Jamal Powell
41:12he does admit
41:13to wounding
41:14Jamal Powell
41:15but with that
41:16it comes a context
41:17he's offering
41:17a self-defence
41:18blaming Powell
41:19for the interaction
41:23the unique feature
41:25of a murder case
41:26is that the victim
41:28is not there
41:28to give an account
41:29of what happened
41:30and so
41:32a defendant
41:33who chooses to
41:34can advance
41:35a claim of self-defence
41:36with impunity
41:37knowing full well
41:39that the person
41:40they are saying
41:41they were defending
41:43themselves against
41:44isn't going to be able
41:45to go in the witness box
41:46and say
41:47that's not true
41:47he attacked me
41:48any defendant
41:50running self-defence
41:51is simply going to hope
41:53that there is a doubt
41:55because if there's a doubt
41:56about it
41:57the jury have to quit
41:59the problem
41:59the problem with it
42:00of course
42:00is at the end of the day
42:01somebody's dead
42:03and that that tends
42:04to suggest
42:04that the violence
42:05is out of proportion
42:06to whatever violence
42:08the defendant claims
42:09they were facing
42:10from the deceased
42:14the judge rejected
42:15any claim
42:15that this was self-defence
42:17the judge concluded
42:18that Power was the aggressor
42:19in regards to the knife
42:21in Jammer's pocket
42:22we always knew
42:23this was going to be an issue
42:24however the forensic evidence
42:25to confirm
42:26identified there was no blood
42:28and there was no indication
42:29that the knife was used
42:31and therefore actually
42:32this wasn't self-defence
42:34this was aggression
42:35this was premeditated
42:36Power had a grudge
42:37and he wanted to get
42:38his own back
42:38and he sought that night
42:39with Anderson
42:40to kill Jammer Powell
42:42when he probably
42:43least expected it
42:49the most crucial piece
42:50of evidence
42:51for me
42:52was frenzy evidence
42:53the fact that we've got
42:56victims' DNA
42:58by way of blood
42:59on areas of clothing
43:00by both suspects
43:02confirmed by the scientists
43:03to be in contact
43:04evidence
43:04means they absolutely
43:06had to be there
43:07when Jammer Powell
43:08was killed
43:09after three weeks
43:10the jury finds
43:11Ian Power and Earl
43:12Anderson
43:13guilty of the murder
43:14of Jamal Powell
43:15so Ian Power
43:17was awarded a life sentence
43:18a minimum to
43:19serve 27 years
43:21Earl Anderson
43:23was awarded a sentence
43:24of 21 years
43:25he was awarded credit
43:26for being the lesser
43:27of the two
43:28albeit
43:29he also stabbed
43:32Jamal Powell
43:33multiple times
43:34the other three defendants
43:35are also found guilty
43:39Juliette Campbell
43:39is convicted of perverting
43:41the course of justice
43:42by removing the knives
43:43and diverting police
43:44from the killers
43:47she is sentenced
43:48to three years
43:49in custody
43:50next to be sentenced
43:52are Jamal's brothers
43:53Rafiki
43:53and Mikkel Powell
43:55Mikkel Powell
43:56hit Anderson
43:57over the head
43:58with some kind of champagne
43:58bottle as he fled
43:59he received an eight month sentence
44:01Rafiki stabbed
44:03Anderson
44:03going away from the nightclub
44:04stabbed him twice
44:05in the spleen
44:07Rafiki
44:07was given a seven year sentence
44:09for wounding with intent
44:12finally the judge addresses
44:14Ian Power
44:15and Earl Anderson
44:16in his sentencing remarks
44:18Justice Warby
44:20highlighted
44:20a joint attack
44:22that was fuelled
44:23he said
44:24by a grudge
44:25he concluded
44:26that Ian Power
44:27intended to kill
44:29Jamal Powell
44:30citing the use of a knife
44:31brought to the scene
44:32and the infliction
44:34of 12 stab wounds
44:36in respect of joint enterprise
44:39the judge stated
44:40that Power
44:40and Anderson
44:41jointly attacked
44:42the victim
44:45he rejected the defence
44:47that Power
44:48had acted
44:49in self-defence
44:50identifying him
44:51as the aggressor
44:52in the encounter
44:59so this case
45:01from start to finish
45:02was confusing
45:03it was initial chaos
45:04at the nightclub
45:05we had a male stabbed
45:06who's no longer there
45:07we've got another male stabbed
45:09in the street
45:09and we don't know
45:10that's related
45:10we've got people
45:11leaving the scene
45:13and we've got a community
45:14incensed by this horrific act
45:16witnesses came forward
45:17initially
45:17and really helped the police
45:19develop a narrative
45:20and understanding
45:21of what happened
45:22I like to think
45:23actually it was
45:24a community spirit
45:24in East Bristol
45:25which was amplified
45:27if you like
45:28by Jamal being the victim
45:29and together
45:30those two ingredients
45:31helped the community
45:32come forward
45:33helped us as police
45:34and helped us
45:35make this swift arrest
45:41Jamal first and foremost
45:43was known as
45:43a loving father
45:44he was known
45:45as a community spirit
45:46he was cherished
45:48by the community
45:50I think that was evident
45:51in his funeral
45:52in the procession
45:53it was vibrant
45:54full of colours
45:54and full of love
46:10this was a difficult
46:11and complex case
46:13from start to finish
46:14but through diligent
46:15police work
46:16brave witnesses
46:17and compelling
46:18forensic evidence
46:19police brought justice
46:21to a devastated family
46:22who lost Jamal
46:24a much loved son
46:25brother and father
46:26to murder
46:53people said
46:55they weren't
