The data off a phone allows you to track him almost step by step, it's quite scary when you think about it as we carry our phones everywhere."Police explained that they believed that three people had been involved in the alleged robbery, which did not see anyone prosecuted.
"If there had been three, it's my thought that I would think that Mr Byrne was the person outside the campervan. When someone steals a mobile phone it's a lot easier and more common to pass it on to somebody else. When the phone was recovered it was found to have cut out on March 26. The data from the phone showed how far Keano had travelled after coming into possession of the phone at around 5.13am.
DCI Hopkinson also described the riverbank near to where Keano was found as being steep. In the end, coroner Alison Mutch concluded that Keano had been running through the woods in the pitch black, becoming disoriented and falling into the river by accident.His sister Chantelle told the court that Keano had been doing well on his licence, saying: "He was very positive in himself. He was always showing change, especially when he found out he became a dad.
