Arnis Zalkalns found dead

Family will never get their answers then.
Unless he left a note somewhere.
Wonder if he did it prior to the hunt starting or after the event? Time might tell.
 
Bloody hell...hopefully they'll be able to determine whether it was suicide or whether someone murdered him. As far as we know, they still have no evidence that shows it was him other than the coincidental, which doesn't really count.

That is a horrid thought, imagine someone killed them both.
Unlikely but possible.
 
Early to make assumptions but I would hazard a guess that he has killed Alice, then in a moment of clarity, was overcome with guilt, realised that he may not be able to control himself to stop him doing it again, and killed himself.

That sounds quite plausible and if it turns out to be the case then, at least he's done one thing right. If he was arrested, tried and found guilty he'd be out in what? 15 years maximum. At least this way he's not going to hurt anyone else. Real shame he didn't do it after he killed his wife in Latvia.

Or they discover he'd died before Alice went missing.
 
Previous murder case convictions. I mean, I know it's not the UK but he was out of his Latvian prison after 7 years wasn't he?

But he wouldn't have gone back to Latvia to face a murder charge that happened in the U.K. It would be a in a U.K court, and if found guilty would probably never be paroled.

15 years maximum ? More like 25-30 minimum and then a parole board to convince.
 
If he was overcome by grief and killed himself (assuming this is actually him they found) why would he do it in such a location?

I mean, this body was found in dense woodland badly decomposed. Seems more like the sort of location where you'd dump a body rather than journey to in order to top yourself.
