I went to Portsmouth on the train this morning, so picked up a Metro. Vincent's father was working on a farm in Kent ( well more of an estate) owned by an elderly man. There seems to be a lot of doubt about the situation as the rich old farmer has recently changed his will.

Common sense says the police have to investigate each incident in its own merit. Does anyone benefit from prosecutions?

Billy Jeeves (the other alleged burglar) has been found and arrested in Kent. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-43846203

Breach of the Peace is a summons, not a charge.

Criminal damage to the fence? I can't imagine it is still in pristine condition with all the tying on and ripping off of momentos and flowers.

The CPS won't get involved until the police arrest and charge someone. The police can charge quite a lot of summary offences without CPS advice.

Apparently the bloke featured on the news, tearing down the flowers, and binnig them, isn't from the area. He admitted he made his way to the road to deal with it, so he is a sort of vigilante.

I know this is a Daily Mail link, but lots of quotes and opinions from the travellers and residents. It seems the vigilante who ripped the flowers down, is not a local. He also took a lot of the bouquets to a local cemetery...

They're too busy concealing Billy Jeeves from arrest.

I suspect Mr Osborn-Brooks will not be returning to his home, but will move elsewhere. I know I would want to. Edit to add the London Fire Brigade has fitted 4 smoke alarms to the house, because of threats of reprisals from the travelling community.

It's unbelievable how twisted their values are.

Police notebooks are used in evidence.

I used driving offences, as an example of where suspects can switch. Speeding is a summary offence, so you wouldn't be arrested, but sent the charge in the post. If you are a suspect drink driver, you take a breath test, and the minute it shows up, you are cautioned ie entitled to legal advice...

Any witness has to make a statement, and sign it to say it is correct. The police will have a fairly good idea who is a suspect and who is a witness. If later they find out, the witness has lied to cover up the fact they were a suspect, they also get done for peverting the course of justice...

It would most certainly apply to indictable offences.

Also that link doesn't show the mouthy woman screaming at the elderly neighbours.

I think you may find Da Man Clay knows a lot more about the law, than you.

There is absolutely no way, on God's earth, I would ever think of building a shrine, or taking flowers to the scene of the crime. If anything, I would stay out of the way, if, for instance, one of my relatives had killed someone in a driving incident. Cemeteries are the place for flowers...

Then let them build their shrine where they live, and not keep intimidating the neighbours and the poor chap who can't go home. He didn't ask for any of this and will still have to attend the coroner's inquest. They are taking this to the victims, not the other way around.

I've just watched BBCSouthEast news which is showing the road because it is in Kent. The 'grieving family' are verbally attacking the neighbours for taking down the flowers. Mr Osborn Brooks can't go home yet as his house is boarded up, the police are parked on his drive, and his neighbours...
