so where`s his motive? no sexual assault and no robbery or break-in.
no sexual assault, so no semen,apparently no significent dna, so why take the risk of moving the body? police must have been all over this guy as a suspect from day one. it`s extraordinary that he never got a mention in the media until his arrest.he was only her closest neighbour after all. |

nobody has vouched where this guy has been since 19/12. his family avoided that question. he was clearly in the cross hairs for a while , maybe in hiding til they got him, which is why they didn't search his flat til then, to alert him. One thing - for logic to stack up, it had to somebody she half knew, prob nearby and who had more than likely met before, and could vaguely exlplain pizza disapearance

mail says they had cctv footage of a car transporting the body over the bridge on the morning after her disappearence,the cars driver was questioned and released could be suspect or girlfriend
|
|
By:
Might be difficult to convict, where is his car? whats his motive?
|
|
By:
Impossible to say without knowing what evidence the police has. Maybe he's confessed.
Have to reserve judgement until that information is released, which may not be until the trial. |
|
By:
They don't say the "driver" of the car; the say the "owner" of the car.
I'm not sure whether he has a car of his own He may well have borrowed one, perhaps one of the three that was previously removed. The evidence captures what detectives believe to be the murderer driving over Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol the morning after killing landscape architect Miss Yeates, on his way to dumping her body three miles away in a lane in nearby Failand. The images were caught by cameras on the bridge on December 18, the day after Miss Yeates, 25, vanished. It is understood that Avon and Somerset Police have had the footage for three weeks. Detectives interviewed the owner of the car earlier this month but eliminated him at that stage. A source close to the investigation told The Mail on Sunday: ‘The investigation changed dramatically three weeks ago after this new CCTV footage came to light. ‘The discovery of this car driving over the bridge shifted the case’s dynamics. From then on officers were convinced they had found the killer and they believed that Miss Yeates was the victim of a stalker. 'Before this breakthrough the investigation was close to hitting a brick wall. They had interviewed Miss Yeates’s landlord but nothing materialised from it and there was no concrete evidence linking him in any way to the murder. ‘It appears he had brought himself under suspicion by making a series of comments which now appear to be irrelevant and innocuous. There was no case against him.’ |

if the mail is correct and he or his girlfriend were the ones caught on cctv and interviewed crossing bridge and she was the one who made the call,and if the suspect can be linked to this car in some way its game over, if its the girlfriend who,s grassed him i,m going for its her who was crossing the bridge and interviewed,surely if it was him he,d have been arrested weeks ago, lives next door caught driving over bridge the morning after she goes missing,what do you want jam on it,this cctv footage came to light 3 weeks ago

I just hope he gets a fair trial.

I read the Daily Mail report after reading your post as it seemed very odd. To be fair, the report is worded equally misleadingly. I think it should say, the driver had, prior to being identified on cctv, been interviewed. |

By:
how the feck are you going to find a jury that hasn't been influenced?

You think his GF dumped the body?

Is it time to review our immigration policy after this?

JO YEATES - DAY I MET VINCENT TABAK
Vincent Tabak gave his only press interview to the Sunday Express Sunday January 23,2011 By Hilary Douglas MURDER suspect Vincent Tabak gave his only press interview to the Sunday Express when he spoke outside his home, where he lived in the flat next door to Joanna Yeates. Dressed in tight-fitting cycling shorts, a yellow fluorescent jacket and a grey cycling helmet, the 32-year-old architect was keen to stop and talk last weekend and told how everyone in the area was very sad about Joanna’s death. He said since she disappeared he had only been back to the flat at weekends. He had been cycling in the Clifton area, before briefly popping into his flat in Canynge Road, which joined on to Joanna’s basement apartment. “I only come back here at weekends for now with all the upset,” he explained. “I wasn’t here on the night she went missing, I was away and I don’t know anyone who saw or heard anything. “It’s very upsetting that something like this has happened. This is a nice, safe, friendly area. “The feeling around here is not a nice one now, it’s as if the area has been blighted by what happened. We are all very sad about it, and although I didn’t know Miss Yeates, I am deeply saddened by what happened.” Mr Tabak, who neighbours say uses his black mountain bike as his main form of transport, had taken to staying at the flat of a friend just over a mile from his own flat in the Clifton area of Bristol. Since Christmas he would come back and pick up bits and pieces and check over the flat he shared with his girlfriend, Tanja Morson, although it seemed she may have moved out as far back as September. The fitness fanatic, who regularly took part in 10k runs, was regularly seen cycling at speed around the neighbouring roads as part of what neighbours describe as an “arduous” training schedule. |

. . . like he's getting on here? |

Poated by squares:
A source close to the investigation told The Mail on Sunday: "The investigation changed dramatically three weeks ago after this new CCTV footage came to light. "The discovery of this car driving over the bridge shifted the case's dynamics. From then on officers were convinced they had found the killer and they believed that Miss Yeates was the victim of a stalker. "Before this breakthrough the investigation was close to hitting a brick wall. They had interviewed Miss Yeates's landlord but nothing materialised from it and there was no concrete evidence linking him in any way to the murder. "It appears he had brought himself under suspicion by making a series of comments which now appear to be irrelevant and innocuous. There was no case against him." The landlord's comments always appeared irrelevant and innocuous and the police do not do themselves any favours by arresting anyone who says anything. It just dissuades witnesses from coming forward. Likewise the press. If police really did believe they'd discovered the killer three weeks ago, as the Mail's source claims, they have proceeded very slowly since then. And why impound at least three cars if they were certain they'd identified the correct one. This sounds like someone is blowing smoke to make the police look better. The police were convinced on the basis of no evidence at all that the landlord dunnit, then had to start from scratch when forensics cleared him. Avon & Somerset Constabulary needs to take a long, hard look at itself once this is over. |

By:
What makes you say they were convinced the landlord had done it? And surely getting sufficient evidence is more important than speeed Ramruna?
|
|
By:
that speeed looks speedy
|
|
By:
I beleive the police have known for some time who the guilty party was.
The public only 'know' about information that has been released by the police. Relevant,important and telling evidence - is not released,until they have enough evidence to convict.This will all become apparent over the next few days. |

By:
or they are buying time and he'll be released on bail on monday and then all charges dropped afterwards
|
|
By:
I suspect you are correct Facts.
|
|
By:
Is it safe to assume that when they arrested the Landlord Tabak wasn't a suspect ?
|
|
By:
mail says they had cctv footage of a car transporting the body over the bridge on the morning after her disappearence,the cars driver was questioned and released could be suspect or girlfriend
Where was the body... on the parcel shelf? |
|
By:
Tabak's family coming over to support him. Hope the police have got the right one.
They could have held him for questioning until Monday, but went ahead now and charged him. So presumably they had all the evidence they needed to fill the gaps. |
|
By:
Wonder if this is all down to "superb policing" and plod will be slapping each others backs for yrs to come? or was it a "yorkshire ripper" type arrest where,he's parked up in an untaxed van full of tools in the middle of a red light district having a p1ss in a bush!!
No doubt we'll be told it was all down to" good old fashioned policing" |

"Since Christmas he would come back and pick up bits and pieces and check over the flat he shared with his girlfriend"
what's this all about please? what happened to gone back to holland on 19/12 for xmas and only just returned?  |
|
By:
quote from his mother say he was in holland over the xmas period, no dates mentioned
|
|
By:
I bet that on the night since he and Jo was alone, he invited Jo over to his flat for a cuppa and she would bring her pizza to share. Hence she left all her belongings in her flat, there was no break-in, no struggling or damage in her flat. The dirty deed was all done in his flat, giving him privicy to clear up any evidence. Except he forgot the missing sock under the sofa.
|
|
By:
^ Apart from going to Holland, he moved out of his flat as the huge forensic operation got under way, and was staying at a female friends flat who was on holiday. That is where they arrested him.
|
|
By:
Would also explain why she didn't have her shoes on because you probably wouldn't bother if you were just going across the landing to the neighbours
|
|
By:
Also, taking the body out of Tabaks door looks easier than Jo's and isn't looked onto by all the front windows and the view from the houses behind may be blocked by the hedges/trees

Yorkshire Ripper wasn't arrested in the red light district of Sheffield. He was arrested in quite a posh area nearby on an unpaved, badly lit road where the toms used to take their marks for a bit of privacy. Broomhill and Broomhall.
Correct however that police got lucky as they were probably after as easy arrest for outraging public decency and hit the jackpot! |
|
By:
Hence, why the 'boy next door'(literally),must immediately have been on the police's radar.
