Prosecutor Simon Denison KC stated, "The act of dismembering Jamie's body was gruesome and would have required a great deal of force. He took very great care to use bedding and other items to absorb the blood and to use gloves to avoid the blood from getting underneath his fingernails." This highlights the chilling methodical approach Jones took in disposing of the body.
Denison described the murder as "deeply disturbing," asserting that Jones had carried out a "sustained, vicious murder on a defenceless Jamie Gilbey." He emphasized the brutality of the attack and the evidence of multiple blunt force injuries.
The prosecution emphasized Jones's demeanor following the murder, noting he was "extraordinarily relaxed and cheerful" in the days after. This stark contrast raises questions about his mental state and complicity.
Jones's defense argued he did not dismember the body and claimed to have acted in self-defense. However, the prosecution pointed to the meticulous clean-up process in Jones’s room, indicating premeditation.
