Hope they've got the right one this time, they can hold him until 6pm tonight.Then they need to apply to magistrates for a custody extension of another 72 hours at most. And release him or charge him.

if he did it why go back?

It's an interesting question. Why go back?
Well for one thing he may be totally innocent. If not, what are his choices? Not going back would simply attract attention when he may well be feeling reasonably secure. Possibly not a risk worth taking. If not feeling secure, going on the run would be an admission of guilt and simply a matter of time before he was picked up. So going back and carrying on life as normal would be his only practical choice. |

Police had knowledge of who they suspected right from the beginning. Deliberate policy to keep media unaware.

Replies: 10845 21 Jan 11 12:49 if he did it why go back As a rule, murders don't return to the scene of the crime, it's mainly arsonists that do. I'd be very surprised if the man in custody is the murderer. According to reports, he has no criminal record, so to murder someone as a 1st crime,is very rare. They usually have a background, starting with robbery or assault, then working their way up, so to speak. |

Does LL have a key to his flat?
|
|
By:
surely the police have to fit someone up for this after all the time and money spent?
Id have thought he's either stone cold guilty(they have his dna on her t1ts etc) or he's just getting grilled as the police have nothing on him? |
|
By:
I think the DNA they have is not good enough for a conviction...sounds like he's not been back to the flat since the 19th though, so a decent chance they'd find something there perhaps if he did it. Police have done well to steer coverage away from him until he came back to UK.

GVL trying to apply a rational thought process to someone who is irrational (if he were the murderer) isn't really the best idea. What you are saying is very much like saying Ian Huntly never killed the girls because if he did why would he be trying to find them and be doing TV interviews or Ted Bundy wasn't a serial killer because if he did kill these people why would he confess to it.

police parents being telling us she deffo new her killer ?
did she and boyfriend no him ? police told us no sign of sexual attack now it seems theres dna un der her clothes lets a suspected murderer roam around holland for 2 weeks |
|
By:
One assumes Jo and her BF knew the arrested man and his GF seeing as they were neighbours. They also seem to have many similar interests, careers, etc.
Police said there was no sign of sexual assault but did not rule out a sexual motive. DNA under her clothes does not necessarily signal a sexual assault, there are other explanations. |
|
By:
Or there were no outward/obvious signs of possible sexual assault, before they found the DNA traces from the killer's saliva.

last two public tweets from brother of GF of arrested man.

so why didnt the police search this flat before instead of wasting everyones time and resources.
|

By:
kirsty and phil from location location would have spotted that joining door between flats instantly as a linking door
|
|
By:
Maybe they sussed that the LL could have hidden the body in his flat whilst he was in Holland and set him up and its taken this long to put it all together.

if he was a people flow expert he may have been able to pass through the bricked up door un noticed

There could be more prosaic reasons as to why the 2 arrests have been made and this is purely hypothesis.
The landlord could have been p1ssed off at the way his words had been twisted by the media and felt let down by Plod. His "vague" suggestion that he might have seen 3 people and that it was possible that Joanna might have have been one of them got regurgitated by Fleet Street's finest into a positive sighting and when he denied this he was accused of changing his story. So when Plod turn up and ask him if they might have a browse around his flat he tells them to poke it.... so he gets arrested so that the police can justify gutting his flat and impounding his motors without his consent. Might be something similoar with the new guy. Haven't seen or heard any mention of his car... only wheels mentioned have been the mountain bike and doubt he shifted a body 3 miles in the basket of that! |
|
By:
he has a basket on his mountain bike? GUILTY
|
|
By:
Other reasons landlord didn't want Inspector Knacker poking around in his flat could have been that he didn't want them flicking through his extensive collection of man on man porn.... but that is pure speculation.... allegedly!

yes vehicle needed, vehicle should be impounded
 where is it? |

The Sunday People said that dog walker Marilyn Stevens, 67, had seen a man wearing a woolly hat and sitting in a white van acting b]suspiciously[/b] at the spot that Miss Yeates was to have her body dumped two days later.
