As soon as someone is charged with murder I think the police should go before a fudge ( sorry judge ) and explain why they are not clearing any other suspects.

reading through the posts, i have a new theory, VT may have been in jo's flat for housewarming / to say hello and when she went to toilet he nicked the front door key.
he could then enter the flat without leaving a trace of a forced entry |

Anyone remember this case???
He was charged with her murder last week and appeared by video link for a preliminary hearing at Bristol Crown Court this morning. Tabak, 32, appeared on screens in court, sitting behind a table with his hands together to listen to the proceedings. Wearing glasses, a red jumper and dark trousers, the Dutch engineer spoke only to confirm his name and that he could hear the proceedings clearly. Mr Justice Treacy, prosecutor Nigel Lickley QC, and Mr Fitton agreed the timetable for the trial. At the conclusion of today’s proceedings, the judge told Tabak: ‘Your next appearance in court will be on May 4 by which time the case papers will have been served and you will see in detail what the allegations are against you. ‘There will be a hearing to make the final arrangements for a trial which we expect to take place in October.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1352106/I-love-Boyfriend-pays-tribute-Joanna-Yeates-family-release-poignant[/i]-photos-want-remember-happy-smiling-daughter.html#ixzz1CdAynxK3 |

so, your neighbour goes missing.
you get banged up because the weird landlord couldn't be fitted up. you don't see daylight for 10 months before you can defend yourself. british justice the envy of the world. |

By:
its better than most countries tbf!
|

By:
10 months seems a bit long for a case like this.
Do they have evidence or not? Or does a more rapid timeframe interfere with a family holiday the lead officer already had planned? |
|
By:
Given that he's innocent until proven guilty, and I'm guessing that he hasn't made a confession or the police would undoubtedly have leaked it, what's the legal situation regarding his job?
Are they obliged to continue to employ him and keep paying him pending the outcome of the trial? |
|
By:
Immediate dismissal. Gross negligence.

Has he only got the one jumper? He was wearing it again in court this morning.Looks like his girlfriend keeping her distance.

Its all going on in Clifton!
http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/news/SWINGING-SUBURBS/article-3165550-detail/article.html FROM the outside it looks like an upmarket Victorian townhouse in a leafy Clifton street. But despite overlooking a primary school yard this house, in Royal Park, is in fact an adult playground. With swinging and fetish parties as well as taster afternoons the £550,000 terraced house is the home of sex club Libertease. The club, complete with dungeon with cross, stocks, wall chains and restraints, has been running for several weeks, and was set up by Dominic White who is understood to live at the address. Click here for more Upcoming theme nights include Valentine Vamps and Greedy Girls nights according to the club's website. Couples pay £15 to attend swinging parties which run from 9pm to 2am and are for members and by invitation only. Although Libertease does not have a licence to serve alcohol guests are invited to bring their own drinks. On Tuesdays between 1pm and 7pm the club also advertises £25 Tease afternoons where members can "socialise, dress up and perhaps get make-up help from one of the Libertease girls". The price includes a buffet and tea or coffee. Neighbours said they were surprised by the opening and had noticed increased numbers of people visiting the property as well as hearing loud noises. Some said they were worried that the club could send out the wrong message about the area. One 25-year-old who did not want to be named said: "I've lived on this street for about six months but I thought there was something going on. "About two weeks ago one Saturday night I saw a girl leaving and she seemed quite drunk. It was about 10pm and she was wearing a large overcoat but it was clear she had sexy lingerie on underneath. "I said to my flat mate that it seemed like some kind of fetish night or something. "Since then I have seen others coming and going but not really paid much attention to it. "I think there is a woman living upstairs and a man living downstairs but there isn't a connecting staircase apart from the one outside and there are always people coming and going between the two flats. "We also heard a lot of strange noises, like awful sex noises, where it was obvious there were more than two people involved. To be honest I think it's quite funny and it's not really bothered us." Another resident, in her 60s, said she was concerned about the effect the club would have on the quiet street. She said: "I've not seen anything so far so it is obviously very discreet. I don't think a swingers club is wrong, what people do in their own free time is their business, but this is a residential street with young families and school children just opposite. "I wouldn't want to think that more people would start coming here or setting up massage parlours or lap dancing clubs. "It's a quiet neighbourhood, we don't want drunk people piling on to the streets at 2am or in the afternoons. "I don't think Clifton is about to become the next red light district but I'd be worried about the sort of reputation a club like this would attract." A website group, set up for those interested in the club, had 157 members. An introduction to the club said: "Clifton Libertease is an adult swinging/swingers group that meets on a regular basis in a secluded Clifton townhouse. "We also hold Fetish and TV/CD parties for the more adventurous. "We will be holding our next parties from Jan 7 onwards so please keep an eye on what we're up to and we'll keep everyone informed as the party dates get arranged. Dom and Michelle." Royal Park, which is off Lansdown Road, surrounds two sides of Christ Church CE Primary School. Head teacher Louisa Wathan did not want to make a comment. Although the property is a residential building it is understood that anyone who uses it for businesses purposes, for example charging to hold an event, would have to apply for a change of use licence. Bristol City Council said they were investigating the property and the business. We attempted to contact Mr White for his comments regarding Libertease but we did not get a response. |

From Sky News:
Charges Dropped Against Jo Yeates Landlord The landlord of murdered landscape architect Joanna Yeates has been released from police bail without charge. Avon and Somerset Police confirmed Chris Jefferies was released without charge on Friday night, more than two months after his arrest. Mr Jefferies, 66, was arrested on suspicion of Miss Yeates' murder on December 30, 2010 and released on bail on January 1. He has previously told friends he was looking into the possibility of suing the police and sections of the media over their handling of the case. The former English teacher's release came as he put his Bristol flat up for sale, setting the price at £245,000. The estate agent confirmed to Sky News that the flat had been put on the market in the last week. Mr Jefferies lived in a first-floor flat on Canynge Road and rented out a ground-floor apartment in the same building to Miss Yeates and her boyfriend Greg Reardon. His property is located above Vincent Tabak's flat - the Dutch engineer who has been charged with Miss Yeates' murder and is due go on trial later this year. |

I know it's all sub judice now, but has the police or the press leaked anything about, or hinted at, what evidence they have against Tabak?

No, he and his lawyers won't even get to know what it is until the prelim. hearing in early May, I believe.
