HIGHLY unlikely. There will be other unsolved murders much nearer, though multiple murders are much rarer than single cases.

"...the partial traces of DNA they have should be enough to rule out any suspects. But, it is believed, there is not enough there to prove guilt."

Anyone know on what basis the Dutch guy has been arrested? When it was first announced, I think I read something about DNA evidence. Haven't heard anything about that since, so maybe I misheard.
|
|
By:
The DNA news came just before the arrest I think. They've not formally linked the two.

Well, they've done the weird-looking landlord, now the braniac wierdo foreigner - I seem to recall the local tramp with mad eyes comes next, followed by anyone at her workplace who looks shifty, then the person who lives closest to her who hasn't yet been arrested and so ad infinitum. Wonder if any of of the cops worked on the Rachel Nickell case?

they'll get to you eventually bodil.
once they realise this is an act and you really are clever.  |
|
By:
atm they are arresting people who are too clever by half.
reportedly Mr Winkle is helping with the selection process ........ they are disregarding dark people as they don't have the manpower to process all the candidates put forward by Mr W.  |

But I'll get to you first, c-c. Any preferences for a body dump? I see you as a last-ditch-in-the-backstraight-at-Sandown sort of corpse.

Still no charge, think the coppers need the jump leads.

Telegraph article with comments from arrested guy's sister suggests doubts over where he spent Christmas.
|
|
By:
Very conflicting reports in the papers today: a crying woman tipped off the police
about this guy; another claims that they had split up; another paper reports they are still together and she will stick by him ????? Looks ominous that they haven't been able to charge him yet. If not enough evidence to charge him they haven't got much longer to hold him. |
|
By:
so if they dont charge him they could put him on bail but as a suspect still ? so they would have 2 of them as suspects ? is that normal or will they look a bit stupid going down that road
|
|
By:
Yes, you would have thought that if they'd found any damning evidence like the missing sock or pizza or whatever that he would have been charged by now. Therefore I suppose the assumption must be they're waiting for forensic results, which can take a while. Or a confession!
It also may well be that they've got nothing but a hunch and he's totally innocent. Time will tell. |

Meanwhile, more evidence of a disturbance on December 17 emerged. A resident living in the building directly behind 44 Canynge Road has told police he heard a woman screaming ‘Help me’ on the night Miss Yeates went missing.
He heard the cries from his bedroom, which looks on to the ground-floor flats which are now screened with tarpaulin while forensic experts continue to examine them. The neighbour reported the incident to police before Christmas, when Miss Yeates was still being treated as a missing person. He was interviewed again after a murder inquiry began. He said: ‘I was in my bedroom with the blind down when I heard someone scream “Help me” in a loud, high-pitched voice.’ The description of the cry follows reports from a woman at a party in a house opposite of two loud screams at around 9pm on December 17, shortly after Miss Yeates is believed to have arrived home. A pedestrian passing Canynge Road also heard screams. |

A male black or asian immigrant didn't do it.
Neither did I. Now we're down to 21,999,998 Should have this wrapped up ny tomorrow dinner time  |

The cops should just put the whole of Bristol into jail. Or turn the whole of Bristol into a large jail centre.

From local Bristol paper today:
"A resident who lives near the flat of murder victim Joanna Yeates has told police he may have heard her call for help. The man, who asked not to be named, heard a chilling cry which worried him so much that he looked out of his window in his property, which is behind where Miss Yeates' lived, and then went outside to check it out. He is unsure of exactly when the incident happened but has become increasingly concerned that it was on December 18 – the morning after Miss Yeates was last seen. After first hearing the cry and not being able to work out where it had come from, the man dismissed it as someone falling on an icy pavement nearby. It was only when Miss Yeates' body was found on Christmas Day that the incident returned to haunt him and he went to police officers to discuss it further." |
|
By:
Or the other two people who supposedly heard screaming? Sad stuff.
The Sun today suggests the arrest resulted from a sobbing woman calling the police. One of the owners of the flat he was staying in perhaps, or the girlfriend? |

Facebook architect guy arrested on plod's village idiot theory. The blue-haired landlord was nutter number one; now he has been ruled out, this chap is number two.
Talking in a slow, Dutch accent about people flow will make him seem away with the fairies, and all Dutch people are eight feet tall, which won't help. 1.01 he's home in time for Songs Of Praise. |

By:
Would I be right in thinking that once someone has been charged with a criminal offence in the UK that the case becomes sub judice and the media etc. are no longer allowed to discuss it until the trial? In which case we're going to have to wait a while to find out what the evidence is?

I am afraid there is a flaw in your assumption that a woman did not do it, mr winkle. There has been cases, I think, of lesbians killing their lovers and indeed I have had the hands of a lesbian around my throat, when I wanted to leave her, so I know it is possible. Women have also killed their ex partners new lover.
