Goran Dragovic's Discarded Old Jacket

The old jacket lies discarded on the damp ground near Goran Dragovic's hanged body in Crow Wood Park, amid empty vodka bottles and fallen leaves. Its weathered fabric catches Catherine Cawood's eye during her clinical sweep of the scene, marking it as potential evidence of staging alongside the victim's damp trousers. Ann Gallagher notes it too, her awe contrasting Catherine's detachment as they assess the eerie woodland site.
