The Pembrokeshire Murders

[Bert45]

I have watched the ITV series "The Pembrokeshire Murders". I thought it was very good. It explained the process by which John Cooper was brought to justice. But there is just one thing I don't understand. The sketch of the man who was seen using Peter Dixon's credit/debit(?) card at an ATM played a significant part in the development of the story.

Why would the witness who provided the sketch artist with the description have taken any notice of the man at the cash machine? How would the witness know the the man was using a stolen card?

I assumed that Cooper threatened Dixon to get him to reveal his PIN before shooting him.

[ummmm]

No...I wouldn't be able to recall anything from 17 years ago unless I was given bullet points. If I was asked what I did the first day my child started school my memory would come back. I need reminders. But if I'd killed someone I think the date would stick in my head.

Every little piece of the jigsaw helps when presenting the case before a jury.
Cooper obviously wasn't as smart as he believed himself to be. Won £98,000 on Spot The Ball and decided to become a turkey farmer. A business which rapidly failed. He also bought a racehorse for £2K but transported it in a cheap horsebox, down the motorway, where the rotten flooring gave way and the poor animal fell through the floor, onto the road surface, breaking it's legs, and had to be put down.
He frittered away his entire fortune, but blamed everyone else for his lack of business acumen.

He certainly hated his son - was a reason ever given for that? He was delusional with a highly inflated ego and contempt for everyone else.
