That left me with two persons of interest: Nigel Barwell and Thomas O’Reilly. The New Ending Murder III, review case rozzer
Advances in DNA … We were able to capture more strands of DNA within samples. A tent had been recovered in the initial investigation. And so I asked for the tent to be re-examined … One hair with a root: we submitted that sample in July 2014. And in early September we got the result that the probability that it was anyone other than Nicola was one in the billion. ibid.
Mitochondrial DNA matched either Mary or Thomas O’Reilly … That linked the tent finally to Barwell and O’Reilly. ibid.
We also found a hair that matched Nicola forensically, and that was a public hair. ibid.

PEACH, BLAIR murder: Mark Steel - Guardian online - Defiance: Fighting the Far Right TV -
In the following weeks, the pathologist who’d conducted the post-mortem on Blair Peach concluded that the weapon which killed him was a ‘hosepipe filled with lead shot, or some like weapon’. An inquiry discovered that SPG officers’ lockers contained dozens of weapons like this. It also confirmed which SPG unit, consisting of six officers, the murderer came from. Whichever one he was, he never received as much as a £10 fine. Mark Steel, Reasons to be Cheerful
