Please read this. Having been instructed by Jesus to go to Euston and take the N5 bus, I was on the northbound N5 bus which arrived at the alledged hit and run descibed here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ant-student-dragged-death-hit-run-driver.html Police paramedics arrived at the scene. Despite there being a hospital with ambulances round the corner, there was no ambulance. About 130 metres further up the road from Mingwei was a pool of approx a pint of blood in the road close to Belsize Park tube station. There was a tattered looking bag by the pool. On the road between the unsmeared pool and Mingwei was no trail of blood. That there was blood near the station has been confirmed in the media: 'Several personal items, including a purse and mobile phone, as well as blood, were found by investigators outside Belsize Park Tube station.' http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/15750157 Despite a photo taken during the day that appeared in the papers, there was no mobile phone by the bag when I walked by. Here are 2 examples which confirm the common sence that it is normal for there to be a trail of blood: 'Andrew Ekechi, 29, said: “This poor guy's body was just sticking out from under the bus. It was horrific to see. There was a trail of blood behind the bus and his shoes had come off and were several feet away.” The bank manager from Edmonton added: “There was a lot of panic, a lot of people crying and screaming.' http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/stand...edestrian-dragged-to-his-death-under-a-bus.do Krisztina Keresztes, 26, was on the Number 25 bus behind the one that killed Mr Beckwith when it was stopped by police. The waitress of Ilford, who was on her way to work in Hackney, stepped off the bus and saw the aftermath. She said: "Police stopped us and said we had to get off because someone had been hurt. When I got off I could see a man's body lying in the road and a trail of blood behind it. "The trail went up the street where he had been dragged and there was also blood on the road that had been left by the wheels." She added: "I don't understand how he could have been dragged so far without anyone knowing he was there or stopping the bus. It's so terrible and I only hope he didn't know too much about it." http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/stand...-saw-man-dragged-to-his-death-by-bendy-bus.do Here is a map of Belsize Park: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?...N&tl=~&ar=y&bi=~&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf Mingwei was supposed to have been hit by a bus on Pond Street outside the Royal Free, dragged up Pond Street and down Haverstock Hill unto near the post box after the junction with Downside Crescent. The distance between Belsize Park tube and where Mingwei was is further than it seems on the map. I would appoximate 130 metres. So you have a pool of blood in the road near Belsize Park tube, Mengwei is around 130 metres further down the road, and despite carefull scanning, there is no sign of any blood on the road inbetween. Furthermore, there is no blood further up Haverstock Hill (at least a bit beyond to the junction with Belsize Avenue). There are potentially 3 linked deaths: 'A Cambridge University rower is believed to have committed suicide after being ‘tipped over the edge’ by the horrific death of a close friend. George Starling, 19, was still mourning the loss of his mother five months earlier when he heard that fellow student Mingwei Tan had been knocked down by a bus and dragged underneath it for a mile. The second-year engineering student hid himself away and turned off his mobile phone, refusing to speak to friends and family. His body was found in his student flat on October 4 – four days after Miss Tan’s death.' Further down the same article: 'Miss Tan, who was due to start her third year at Cambridge, was described as joyful, talented and enthusiastic by her friends from the university karate club. Girton College law student Pavel Kantchev, 22, was also found dead on October 11, prompting Cambridge officials to offer counselling services. A university spokesman said the sudden deaths were not linked and police were not treating the incidents as suspicious.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...d-dragged-death-London-bus.html#ixzz1aatoRwNJ The death of Mingwei certainly is suspicious
Looking at the photo of the handbag in the first article you linked, I see no pool of blood near the handbag. However the photo appears to have been taken in daylight. The article says Mingwei's body was found around 2 AM. What time did you arrive at the scene? Could the scene have been altered by police by the time you arrived or the photo in the article was taken? A quote from the first article you linked says: "Her handbag – containing a wallet, mobile phone and student ID – was found in the road 150 metres from the body, alongside a clump of dark hair, outside Belsize Park Tube station." The mobile phone was apparently inside the handbag. The first article you linked says it was about 150 metres - not far off your estimate. It's hard for us to say what did or didn't happen to Mingwei, since we don't know the types of injuries she suffered. The article just said she suffered from "serious injuries." However if your observations are accurate, and the scene had not been altered before you arrived, then I would have to agree that it doesn't much sound like a dragging death. It sounds more like somebody picked her up - or forced her into a vehicle - outside the hospital and drove her down Haverstock Hill to the Tube station, at which location something happened. What? Maybe she exited the moving car and was injured - accidentally or intentionally - and dropped her handbag? And then what? The driver picked her up and put her back in the car and drove another 150 metres and dumped her? Just some thoughts, but it seems to me that my imaginary scenario fits the evidence at the scene better than the dragging death scenario.
