If this guy is not charged or found to have no involvment his life is destroyed now. This is what really annoys me about the media. They seem to latch onto somebody and print and display his name and image. I think this is totally wrong until they are charged and found guilty.

If you recall the woman who was murdered in London last year, the media latched on to her eccentric ex-lecturer and not only mentioned his name but showed photographs and filmed him leaving his house etc. As it turned out this guy had nothing to do with it but his name will be forever associated with the case.

It seems to be more prevalent in the UK but maybe it is just as bad here.

I agree with you about the media, crazy how they latch on to someone with some suspicion just to create some headlines and in the process destroy lives.

However, this case seems different. The Welsh police have actively given out information about this guy. It seems like they have been sure from the start that he did it. The police could be wrong of course, but in a case this high profile I don't think they would be this public if they didn't have strong evidence against him.

Personally I think he did it. He was caught near a wooded area/rivers, wearing camouflage clothes that are waterproof, the kids playing with April said she got into the driver's side which the police thought was a mistake but it turns out this fella's jeep is a left hand drive, his jeep was hidden away in some garage etc. Sorry but if these are just coincidence then he has the worst luck in the world. If he did do it you would think he would just tell them where she is. Just shows how evil he really is.

How can there be a murder without a murder victim/body, Did he claim to have killed her?
Abduction charge I can understand but a murder charge without a body I can't?

Everything will be circumstantial and it will be basically up to a lawyer to create reasonable doubt. Some things will be harder to defend like if there was blood in his jeep or dna at his home. But if it's just the witness testimony of young kids it would be extremely difficult to convict for murder.

All the RIP April facebook pages are sickening.

Aprils older sister Jasmine left a comment on one of the ones that has been active since Thursday asking for the page to be deleted, and it got nearly 30,000 likes.

Yet the Admin (who by the looks of his/her posts is no older than 12) won't shut down the page. Her poor family

Any of those RIP April facebook pages should just be reported. If you see a page like that, report to facebook.

if he did kill her, why wont he tell where he put the poor little mite.

He is probably not saying a word, let the time run down until the police are forced to release him.

If I had to guess, and the poor thing is dead, he knows the body is very well disposed of and without his co-operation it won't be found.
No body, more than likely no sentence.

Would love to know how the Aussie Police got that other fúcker to confess to Jill's murder.

My fear is the Welsh Police think it is safer to charge this guy rather than release him as there's bound to be vilgilantes (swear to God if I was there I'd sign up).

Hard to say this, but if he did murder that poor wee girl it's time to cut a deal to reveal where she is. Let him out in 20 years instead of 30 (consolation is he'll be in solitary or near same for all his days as I doubt he'll last long if the general prison populus find out who he is). Yes hang him by the balls and all that but ye know it won't happen.

I can't put into words my deepest disgust of this case and Jill Meaghers case. People going about their normal everyday business (and being kids) and cúnts take it upon themselves to disrupt this and take these precious lives away.

Apologies Mods for language but fúck it

You'd assume that that's the case, and that they're not just relying on circumstantial evidence, yes.

However, I seriously do not understand why they've released so little information. If he has confessed, then how would it hurt the case for the police to let the public know this?

He may have indirectly alluded to killing her. The Police could not release such information without jeopardizing the case against him, which is still being pieced together.

Well when he came and took her into his car, in front of other kids in an area he is known in, it is unusual compared to other cases. The whole thing is a bit strange.

Yeah, I don't really understand it. If his young kids were playing with April, then wouldn't they have got into the car with her? Then wouldn't they notice her going missing? It just seems to be a bit of a strange case.
