Local news saying the police have cordoned off a section of wood near Wild Park, there's a police news conference at 2:30.
Perhaps they'll be explaining why they're continuing to hold them after the 36 hours allowed?Oh Christ.
I’m sure they will, & extensions aren’t some new pulled from their arse tactic as you well fucking know.Perhaps they'll be explaining why they're continuing to hold them after the 36 hours allowed?
They should be charged or released. Same applies to everyone in police custody.
Fair point, if I was being around minimum wage to stare at not very interesting screens all day I’d probably be often distracted by my phone etc.They may charge customers for doing that, but...
If the baby is in there, Peter Faulding will find it.Nope they haven't found the baby.

Some people are strange.Perhaps they'll be explaining why they're continuing to hold them after the 36 hours allowed?

On what grounds are they being detained ?They haven't found anything. They've applied to extend the period of detention without charge.
Bear in mind that the two people against whom the police have insufficient evidence to charge with anything have the responsibility for looking after a small child.Doubt they'll have trouble convincing a magistrate about the flight risk
If it becomes clear that the baby died whilst they were being held without charge & questioned for days, would the police bear any of the responsibility for that outcome or none.
Suspected of murder perhaps?On what grounds are they being detained ?
I think that’s questionable is all I’m saying.None.
On what grounds are they being detained ?
Yes I know that. I am asking, if it becomes clear the baby died whilst they were in custody and not during the prior weeks, still nobody would question the choices made by the police?On the grounds of the charges, which include manslaughter.
I get what you’re saying and that was what I was getting at when I questioned why they weren’t observed and followed.Yes I know that. I am asking, if it becomes clear the baby died whilst they were in custody and not during the prior weeks, still nobody would question the choices made by the police?
You think they should have let them go? And then followed them, or what? Tbh I know nothing about this case beyond what's been reported, and according to the police the pair are refusing to answer questions as to the infant's whereabouts. Which is their right, but incomprehensible without knowing the facts. (Possibly incomprehensible even then.)Yes I know that. I am asking, if it becomes clear the baby died whilst they were in custody and not during the prior weeks, still nobody would question the choices made by the police?

Yep, I saw your post, about the police missing an opportunity by swooping in arresting them and then afterwards asking where the baby is, saw that you were thinking the same thing as me.I get what you’re saying and that was what I was getting at when I questioned why they weren’t observed and followed.
But, if that’s what’s happened they still left a tiny baby unattended in the cold and dark and could have told the police the minute they approached them where the baby was. I think/hope if the baby was still alive and not with another adult then they might not have been out together.
So it would be absolutely tragic if this is what happened, I don’t think the police bear the responsibility for that baby dying.
Having a baby without telling medics and the state, followed by evasion of medics and the state.On what grounds are they being detained ?
Are you sure you understand how the arrest system is supposed to work? The police arrest you on suspicion of what they tell you they're arresting you for. Then the moment they have enough evidence to charge you, they're supposed to charge you and then arrange for you to appear in court without delay.Suspected of murder perhaps?
You think they should have let them go? And then followed them, or what?
What would you do if someone kidnapped you and said you had to tell them where your child was because they wanted to, cough, check the child was OK, and you had reason to believe their actual intention was to capture your child? If the someone was the police and they could only hold you lawfully for x hours, whether or not you told them anything would depend on whether you'd made arrangements for someone to look after your child for that long, surely?Yep, I saw your post, about the police missing an opportunity by swooping in arresting them and then afterwards asking where the baby is, saw that you were thinking the same thing as me.
The couple are very obviously not going to cooperate, which would have been clear very quickly after arrest.
