All without having to release an image or name for the public to get into a frenzy about. How odd.

You're right, I can see from the news just how busy coppers have been in the last couple of days, fighting crime and avoiding the risk of accusations of political bias.
SYP don't police Merseyside, last I checked.You're right, I can see from the news just how busy coppers have been in the last couple of days, fighting crime and avoiding the risk of accusations of political bias.

So if they arrested you and you were innocent would you want your face all over the internet?
My comment was in relation to those earlier baying for the police to release details of the person they were seeking before he was arrested.

It was only yesterday the police said they didn't know where in the country the Merseyside gunman was, or indeed whether he'd escaped abroad. Perhaps they were checking he hadn't used transvestism to elude capture?
A more unprofessional show from the police, by officers who look more like street cleaners, it would be hard to imagine. They need disciplining, and I don't mean by Mr. Izzard

Your whataboutery is showing. They found him and arrested him, all without needing to publicise further information that you were convinced they needed to.
As for what they said yesterday, I'll refer you back to my earlier point:

They don’t police South Yorkshire most of the time.
Clearly they aren't doing much policing anywhere!
Or maybe they didn't want to announce to the world that they had a very good idea where he was and plains clothed officers were driving past every few minutes in a bunch of rental cars, whilst a Merseyside Electrical Technicians van was parked up at the end of the road (closest I could get to a Flowers By Irene in the UK).It was only yesterday the police said they didn't know where in the country the Merseyside gunman was, or indeed whether he'd escaped abroad.

Why have the police arrested someone on suspicion of murder when nobody has been murdered? The killer wanted to murder the fleeing man, but the little girl (and mum) were unintended victims.
The guy deserves capital punishment IMO, but how on earth can the police prove he intended to kill the little girl?

It comes under murder, I’m guessing you are leaning towards manslaughter ? He should have been arrested for attempted murder also. Not sure if if he was or not.
Suspect had intent to kill, it doesn’t matter that the victim wasn’t the intended target.
Also arrest doesn’t mean they will be charged with the same offence. Rule of thumb is arrest for the most severe offence that is believe to have been committed at the time then investigate it.
It will be down to the cps if they bump it down to manslaughter but I very much doubt it.

So effectively because the killer deliberately meant to kill "someone" then whoever else also dies is also effectively "murdered" rather than it being classed as manslaughter, never knew that.
