2 Further arrests made, this case gets more weird.

Edit : Beaten to it :)

Taken from Twitter:

46 yr old woman arrested on suspicion of murder. A third man also arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

The police have talked about this before; they mentioned it first from what I remember in the Tracie Andrews 'road rage' case. They choose the individual to make a public appeal, statement or interview on for the purpose of forensic analysis of their reactions. The questions posed are deliberately designed to provoke reactions that help find people who are lying, additional pressure from the fact that the piece will be aired on TV works against the liar.

Indeed.

There are many tactics like this that the Police use in such cases, they don't always get it right of course, but some of the childish comments about them on this thread are ignorant.

Many.

You can't possibly hang or execute this individual or any other; you simply hope they live to be a 100 at least, for everyday they spend in prison is another day longer in a place worse than hell, prison has it's own justice for people who hurt children.

I disagree. As a higher rate taxpayer I have to pay a lot of money to keep scumbags like this in prison. I'd rather the money went towards hospitals, schools, infrastructure (roads/railways) etc.

It's not internet bravado when I say I'd be much happier if he (and his like) was tried and went straight to a firing squad / gallows without passing go.
 
In the USA it costs more to execute than incarcerate. An appeals system designed to stop innocent people going to their deaths that hardly functions. People on death row for a decade and longer, but you can't take away the appeals, one innocent person executed is intolerable.

Factor that into your costs saved.

this guy looks like he's very guilty, and would deserve the most harsh punishment a civilised society can administer

the problem with your suggestion is that execution is not humane

let me ask for your opinion on this, what percentage of error would you accept in a judicial system that used capital punishment?
ie how many innocent people, erroneously proven guilty and executed, would you see as an acceptable collateral for such a system?
 
Where are you guys finding out this new info? On the BBC website it just says a man and a woman.

I really wouldn't be surprised if the Grandmother was in on this. She hasn't looked upset at all every time I see her on the news.

Not really that shocking - I was wondering if that would be the case...

Really? I thought the step grandad and maybe the uncle but the grandmother was at work. I can see her perhaps covering up and been associated but not the murderer

Yea I was going to mention that. It's probably more expensive to execute.

A baseball bat ain't too expensive though right?
