Billie-Jo Jenkins' murderer has never been found. No attempt has been made by Sussex Police to re-open the investigation. They now have the opportunity to do so.
Mr B
The role of the man identified as Mr B remains crucial. In the course of three trials and two appeals one vital clue was never satisfactorily accounted for by the prosecution. It is essential that Sussex police should continue the quest for justice for Billie-Jo and reinvestigate the involvement of Mr B.

The Onlooker

I knew Billie Jo, I also knew Siôn Jenkins, as he was my deputy head teacher, I was often at his office for getting thrown out of Latin. I used to hate him, as every kid used to hate every teacher, but given the choice, that would be the teacher I would have preferred to be sent to, he was very approachable and most of all he was fair.

I was the subject of a lot of bullying at school, which he sorted out. I am now successful in my own business.

I have always believed Mr Jenkins is innocent, and I happen to know a large proportion of the police that were investigating Billie Jo's murder believe the same. I was very curious at the time, and would ask the opinions of officers and listen to the gossip.
I remember one police officer saying to me “DCI Payne is either promoted or sacked. There has to be a conviction on this one with the whole country watching…”
