RIP Sarah Everard, who went missing from Brixton in March 2021

apparently he might have flashed his warrant card to her. this may explain how easy it was for him to carry this whole thing off with ease. This is going to make things difficult. If your a woman and a bloke claiming to be from the police shows you his card, how you now going to trust him and comply?
Can't have been the first time, what other crimes is he guilty of?
 
Everyone who worked with him day after day for years in the police they noticed nothing at all untoward about his attitude to women presumably, no concerns raised at all, i want to know about that. You don't suddenly turn into this, i don't think.
I suspect that may have a lot to do with what is considered 'untoward'. If your working life is fuelled by 'bantz', gallows humour maybe, laughing at rape jokes, laughing at stereotypes about women, any conversation that might include 'whoarrrr' and it is probably quite hard to work out what is untoward in a colleagues attitude towards women. I live in a civilised little bubble. I am often shocked when I look at some people's friends on Facebook or Twitter. The dodgy memes, the casual misogyny (amongst other 'isms')
 
2019 calling....

An official “super-complaint” is to be launched into the “boys’ club” culture within certain police forces that allows officers to abuse their spouses and partners without fear of arrest or prosecution.'

So what happened to this 'super complaint?

They're making a big deal of random abduction and murder being highly unusual. Dick quoted on the BBC saying it and a lot of talk about it on all kinds of social media platforms.
I wonder if it's going to turn out that the man under arrest knew Sarah Everard.

I highly doubt it? A 48yo diplomatic protection officer and a 33yo marketing manager? He finished his shift at Battersea at 8pm so would have possibly been driving around there about that time.

I don't claim to know.
I just think it's a little strange that they're making a big deal of random abductions and murder being unusual.
 
I think it's unrealistic to expect that his wife wouldn't be named. Deal is a very small town and everyone knows everyone else. I live less than 10 miles away, and I can guarantee that the whole town would have known within less than an hour who'd been taken into custody - they took both their cars, they had a tent in the front garden, it was a massive police operation. Not to mention the massive forensic operation going on in the woodland outside Betteshanger.
 
His wife's Facebook page is filled with people commenting angrily on the murder.
This is when I really hate Facebook. Back in my hometown, someone got sent down for paedophilia. His ex partner is still having to deal with pretty disgusting Facebook hate. She's a mother of two small kids, she's really young. I reported the hate pages set up and Facebook don't take them down. Way to go making the partner pay for something they didn't do. and had nothing to do with.
 
It sounds like the FB stuff is terrible but I don't think the police can or should be able to get access to tweak peoples social media that easily.

Nothing happened shocka!

I was telling my son earlier today about the Reclaim The Streets campaign that started in the 1970s. In those days the women involved were considered to be hardened, radical femininists and absolutely slagged off by the media. But it seems that very little has changed. Women are still having to campaign to "reclaim the streets".

It's common. I know of people who have been arrested and the police have taken control of their FB account as part of the investigation.
 
This is kind of inevitable now though isn't it? Before everyone was totally interconnected via the internet, it might have been possible to keep a lid on who a high profile murder suspect's wife is, but not now. Fair doesn't really come into it.

There are legal restrictions though. But I agree it's very hard to enforce the letter of the law in the age of social media. The press do have to be careful though.

They can get a warrant and get access to it sure but they're not going to modify it to protect a suspects feelings/dignity.

The current legal restrictions are not really fit for purpose IMO. I dunno what the answer is, but what's the point in preventing the media from publishing information that anyone can find in 30 seconds on twitter?
 
On the FB thing. I had a look and shouldn't have. There are people commenting on pictures of the kids with all kinds of 'die/evil/murders/poor kids/hope you get the death penalty' shit.

If the wife has been arrested she won't have access but the police can get access and close it down ffs!
I made the mistake of looking. There photos of several young kids playing in the snow followed by a torrent of 'hang 'em high' hate.
 
They'd have to contact Facebook and Facebook rarely give a shit.
I know they don't give a shit about anything you or I might want them to do, but I'd imagine they're more responsive to the police officers investigating the highest profile murder case in the country for some years?

this is apparently 'reclaim these streets' tho the -se seems to have been dropped by many journalists

I'm not going to disrupt this thread by talking about Facebook, but they have a long record of leaving poisonous, illegal and sometimes downright dangerous material online for as long as it suits them. The kind of shit that gets taken down in minutes here. And that's my last comment on them.
 
The police don't call it grooming, but they do it all the time with informants and criminals. They are trained to do it. They are afforded tools that can be abused all of the time, and they keep abusing them a lot.

Dunno why I wrote this, but I keep thinking about it, so I did.
Yes. They call it building a rapport but it's the same thing.
