For those of you have have criticised the police for waiting until now to search the neighbour's flat:
"It is thought the Dutchman had just returned to Britain from a holiday after reportedly spending Christmas in Holland with his family." If that is true then it fully accounts for why the police has deliberately not mentioned him before. |
|
By:
a girl just murdered next door, he goes off to holland same time, thought the police would have wanted to speak to him straight away imo
|
|
By:
The need to extend the time for questioning is looking a bit ominous. I thought this was going to be a case of, "Here's the irrefutable evidence Mr So and So, you are now charged ......"
Why didn't they just break into his flat and search for evidence whilst she was still just a missing person? Why are they only just doing the forensics now? |

By:
Is there a grassy knoll near the flat?

Why didn't they just break into his flat. . .?
Because the UK isn't a police state. They'd need a court order, for which they'd need to be able to justify reasonable suspicion, which they may or may not have had. They clearly wanted him to return under his own steam rather than alert him to their suspicions; much easier that way. And apart from public pressure, there was no hurry. There's been a constant police presence there so nothing inside the flat would have changed. |
|
By:
So, supposing they hadn't found her body, are you suggesting that they'd have searched the rest of the building looking for her but not bothered looking in that flat until the occupant returned? Surely they don't need a Court Order in a missing person's enquiry? They could easily justify their actions to the householder. The fact that presumably he could have been contacted they could have phoned him and sought his permission. So it seems that for the few days when she first went missing they never searched a flat just yards away? Strange if that is the case.
|
|
By:
I'm not suggesting anything. I'm answering your question as to why they didn't just break in, before or after the body was found.
For all we know they may well have found a legal way to search the flat surreptitiously at some stage without it getting into the media. |
|
By:
Of the reports I've read so far, one states that he HAD been interviewed early on in the enquiry and the other says he left for Holland on the 19th of December, i.e. the Sunday; Joanna was reported missing that evening.
Also that he had popped down to the flat in Canynge Road a couple of times this week to collect some stuff! As above, presumably the police would have got permission by either the guy himself or whoever owns that flat to have a little nose around in there at some stage over the past month. |
|
By:
One assumes that his trip home to Holland for Christmas, etc., was all pre-arranged so would have looked odd not to go.
Seems like a lengthy stay away though. Didn't another neighbour (?Lawrence Penney, Peter Stanley's tenant) go away to Cyprus? for a short while over Christmas and his movements got a mention in the press? Is the arrested man the guy Sky had footage of returning to the property at the beginning of the week? It certainly looked like him, but he seemed to be returning with a woman who wasn't his GF (she looked a fair bit older) wheeling a case. |

He was affectionately known as Pink Panther because his website played the theme tune to the famous movie series starring Peter Sellers as bungling Inspector Clouseau.

And another bit of pure speculation as possibly circumstantial evidence.... If he was going back to Holland for Christmas what would he be carrying/pulling as he left the property??? Yes..... a suitcase!!!! It's all piecing together now! |
|
By:
Apparently the Daily Mirror had tried to speak to him earlier on in the enquiry.
When asked to comment on the case he immediately hung up. |

So, having dumped the body you then have the problem of disposing of the suitcase which contains DNA. You take the suitcase with you to the airport, check it in and then when you go to the carousel in Holland you remove the identifying label and just leave it on the carousel. It's probably somewhere in lost property at the airport.

By:
he had a few fair weather friends by the sound of it (now down to 54) or do they know something?
|
|
By:
Probably don't want to be pestered by the press, etc.
Girl who owned 37 Aberdeen Road, Emily Williams, is currently away in Chile but was removed so probably advised or had it done for her. |
|
By:
what do you mean advised not to have anything to do with him you mean ?
|
|
By:
Are you saying he's a wrong un?
|
|
By:
Seems like a lengthy stay away though.
Maybe he was due back earlier and maybe he extended it to let the dust settle a bit before returning. Who knows? If the police had strong suspicions about him from the start it might account for their reluctance to issue a warning to women in the area to take extra care, knowing he was out of the country. It's even possible that the landlord's arrest was a feint designed to make him believe it was safe to return. |
|
By:
What even though the LL WALKS ROUND WITH A HAIR DO LIKE THAT?
|
|
By:
Like the police apparently "advised" Jo's parents, Greg's half brother not to speak about various things.
|
|
By:
Makes sense I suppose momm, seeing as the residents were staying away from their flats anyway.
