Wow some of the information in the reports of some national newspapers are comprehensive. Massive tip offs being given for sure.

Or the result of journalists knocking on doors and giving a little bit of information "in the know" to get people to open up and talk about their discussions with police.

The next journalist turns up and the person gets confused who told them.

Before someone is charged the press are anarchic, because they can't be later for fear of being in contempt of court. The police used to have quite a close relationship with the press in situations like this, because at many times the press were "doing their work". However post Levenson and the multiple charges of misconduct in public life things have changed.

Yes I agree but also there was beyond doubt information that could only have come from the police. His name etc would have been the easiest to find out by doorstepping. How they got some of the other evidence less so.

You'd be surprised what the press can uncover without talking to the police. The police have talked to hundreds of people and have taken footage from dash cams etc...

All the press have to do is talk to those people.

I've read some of those reports and most of it is "obvious" or routine investigation.

As an aside as a local resident, it's been oddly reported.

She didn't walk from "Clapham" to "Brixton".

No-one knows whether she crossed Clapham Common. That would be a bit odd to be honest, you'd just walk round the side although the police did search the area.

A picture floating round in the press is often being placed against a report that the last known sighting from a door bell cam, when clearly in the picture she was entering a building or a shop with a face mask on. Turns out that was CCTV footage of a Sainsburys local near where she lived as she bought a bottle of wine as she was setting out. That utterly confused me, the police have never released that final CCTV.

That must frustrate the hell out of the Police.

very sad news. I have friends living a couple of roads away from Clarence Avenue where her phone last pinged. They've been scared to death to go out.

Intrigued to know the full ins and outs of how this escalated

When I first read this , I must admit I wasn’t that surprised, Brixton has always been a shady area., similar to Peckham . However I am shocked that it appears a serving policeman has murdered her . I’ve never heard of that in this country ,

No offence meant to anyone living in those areas.

Don’t think the areas have got anything to do with this, and another serving policeman was convicted of killing his wife last year and there have been plenty of others down the years. Nothing for your right wing leanings here fella.

No offence taken but my daughter lives there and your description is bollox. Anyway the area is irrelevant here, wasn't a local nutjob

If you’re here with your very thinly veiled agenda you will no longer be able to contribute to this thread.

It WAS a shady area, going back perhaps 20-30 years now, but has significantly gentrified and filled up with young professionals, like the sadly deceased woman and presumably Rugrat's daughter.

Like many of your opinions, that one's out of date.

Quite. I have spent a bit of time in Brixton in the last few years and it's a great place. How's this for gentrification - you can actually book dinner in the prison restaurant. It's shady days are long behind it.

I digress, this poor lady and her family. And a copper being questioned? Very strange.

I’m currently reading an Oxford World’s Classics edition of Arthur Conan Doyle spooky stories and in one the hero mentions he lives in Brixton. A modern footnote says that at the time (1880s) Brixton was a very posh and respectable area. Seems the shady days were the blip rather than the norm.

Interesting. I think a lot of London suffered a fall into disrepair during the early to mid 20th century and only started to emerge as desirable areas again in the 1990's.

Indeed, it was up the hill away from the industrial grime of central London, but when central London gentrified and became more a financial and commercial centre, the 'inner city' elements moved outwards to this outer ring, into the vast swathes of new terraced housing and latterly the council estates. This has now progressed further such that these areas have become more genteel (albeit still full of terraces, just £1M quaint old terraces...)

I guess the police must be approaching the time where they have to either charge or release, unless they successfully apply for additional time to question the suspect.

A truly bizarre and horrific case.

Brixton has always been a shady area

What’s shady about craft beer bars, third-wave coffee cafes and overpriced street food? My take is it’s wanky, pretentious and expensive...it has many other positives as well.
