Empty Vodka Bottles Beneath Goran Dragovic's Hanging

Catherine spots two empty vodka bottles scattered at the base of the tree in Crow Wood Park where Goran Dragovic hangs. Their placement near the corpse, combined with his damp trousers, catches her eye immediately. Nuns who found the body point them out, noting the victim appeared drunk. Ann Gallagher observes alongside as Catherine logs them as potential evidence, their glass catching morning light amid fallen leaves and underbrush.
