|
|
By:
well by 8 thirty it would be empty imo i wud be well hungry
|
|
By:
agree with stretch
|
|
By:
It IS possible to go to a pub and not get drunk you know!
|
|
By:
Where are we heading, if anywhere, with this 'she might have been tipsy' line?
Let's discuss a motive, or how she was moved from the flat. Surely these are more important. |

This was the 1974 murder:
http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/8767945.Joanna_Yeates_murder_brings_1974_killer_hunt_into_spotlight/ Possibly the same person, who gets a sexual thrill out of strangling women? Would explain a motive. 36 Year gap would be a bit of a puzzle. |
|
By:
Agree tobes, but it seems a big coincidence.
|
|
By:
a very lazy serial killer ?
|
|
By:
Made that point earlier but apparently landlord not in Bristol at that time, tobermory.
|
|
By:
The media need to be fed some more info ,, they are losing interest,
Nothing on front of telegraph website, nothing on front of mirror website , the sun has a story under main headlines section as does mail,,, story way down on express website , on sky website gone to last highlight in the section |

Motive sexual, has not been ruled out by plod, fits in with what we understand about deaths of women

cant see anythign on bbc news website

Becoming fish 'n' chip papers.
|
|
By:
cant see anything on ITV website
|
|
By:
fish do you think they should do a double header with Maddy McCann ?
|
|
By:
Story needs to be forgotten about otherwise story becomes one of police incompetance
|
|
By:
Not that much of a coincidence i'd say . A Large City - 500,000 population? - with 2 similar murders in 4 decades, considering there have likely been 300 or so murders there in that time.

I wish a had some cereal i've run out but i have got a pizza but twith beer hth

By:
Great PR by The Police Fish. Good Point Brendan.
The Media are being kind to them IMO. Police get an easy ride in the papers in The UK. Can you imagine what they'd be saying if Joanna had been murdered in Portugal and we had the exact same investigation. |
|
By:
tobes, I suspect the number is more like 100. But most of those would have been easily solved and farther away. So I'd say it's not likely to be related, but possible.

-------------- Do you reckon it's more a sexual thrill or a rejection thing? You know, she rejected his advances and he turned nasty and killed her. The one planned; the other not. The rejection theory seems more plausible. |
|
By:
There would surely be far more than 3 murders a year in a city like Bristol, Spark.
|
|
By:
hard to say really. They reckon its all about power anyway. Inadequate types want to hurt women and feel powerful for a bit. Cant see that you would kill to protect reputation or something.
|
|
By:
sooner or later (sooner preferably) the police are going to have to give out information that has so far been with-held.
|
|
By:
I'm not sure Tobes, population would be about 0.8 percent of the UK...average what about 600 murders a year, so 5 or so would be average for the population size...but would have thought a disproportionate number of those would be in bigger cities, especially London?
|
|
By:
24 unsolved in the last 60 years apparently.
|
|
By:
Also Spark, strangulation is an unusual method of killing someone. Murder with a gun or knife is much more common. I'd be interested to know how many young women have been strangled in Bristol in the last 36 years. Probbaly only a very few.
|
|
By:
Erm, including one in 1985 strangled with her own clothes!

By:
651 is the lowest for 20 years so more like 700+ typically .Making 5 or 6 typical average for Bristol population sizw .
Agree proportionately more in London but i doubt Bristol would be below the national average as you have to consider tens of millions live in rural areas without the sort of crime issues that Bristol no doubt has. Somewhere between 200 and 30 i suppose. |
|
By:
200 +300 ffs
|
|
By:
It's possible I may be getting a bit over-excited!
|
|
By:
yeah sparky that 1985 one...aint linked
|
|
By:
How so?
|
|
By:
I can't be bothered to read through this...has anyone come close to solving it yet?
|
|
By:
looking at the list here, the Glenis Carruthers one stands out as being similar even before you see that its Bristol. There doesnt seem to be that many strangulations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_murders_in_the_United_Kingdom |
|
By:
That list is poor, there are 2 in Aberdeen alone not on there.
|
|
By:
It is an absolute heap, there's 2 in Derwentside that's not listed.
|
|
By:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8662635.stm
at the bottom of this article there is a list of 'unsolveds' by police force. |

By:
Could those extra ones be considered mercy killings given the location?
