how did billy dunlop know julie hogg

Billy Dunlop knew Julie Hogg as a neighbor and they had some form of prior acquaintance from the local area. On the night of the murder, Dunlop had been drinking and harassing strippers at a local rugby club, and later that night, he went to Julie Hogg's home expecting sex. Julie, however, declined his advances and made a joke about his injured eye. This led to a violent altercation where Dunlop strangled Julie to death and hid her body behind the bath panel in her house. The relationship between them was brief but known locally prior to the tragic event.
