In the spotlight of a new documentary lies the debate: was Robin Garbutt an innocent victim of a robbery or a calculated murderer? The haunting memory of his 999 call on the day of his wife’s tragic death lingers for those who heard it during the trial.
During the filming of Sky’s ‘Murder in the Post Office’, the evidence seemed compelling enough for a guilty verdict in my view. The swift sequence of events, from the opening of the post office safe to the robber’s escape after taking £16,000 and harming Diana, raised suspicions.
Initially skeptical of the possibility that the killer could have gone unnoticed in the village, recent revelations suggest a different narrative. Speculations from locals point to potential nighttime entry and access to the crime scene, challenging the initial assumptions.
Insights from a postmaster union representative shed light on the tactics employed by robbers, casting doubt on the financial evidence against Garbutt, especially in light of the Horizon scandal. In the documentary, Robin’s family members emphasize his pursuit of a retrial to clear his name definitively.
Sallie Wood, Robin’s sister, expressed his determination for a retrial to establish his innocence beyond any doubt. With emerging evidence, the prospect of a retrial, sought fervently by Robin, gains traction.
