General discussion about the latest news (not search related)

Did he have a name?

Probably.

Buck Ruxton, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Ruxton  who killed the two women before Kate and Gerry were born.

Not only not news ... but decidedly not the latest by any stretch of the imagination.

It is if you only saw it yesterday.

It is if you only saw it yesterday.

Not wishing to be pedantic, but technically I saw it in the very early hours of this morning.  As it was before I went to sleep I recounted it as last night.  I call the morning as the time after I wake up at night.

Brietta still has a problem as to why a discussion about the historical Babes in the Woods is OK, whilst a discussion about another historical case involving an esteemed doctor seems to rankle.

Doctors can kill.

Nope.

I just find Clarence Mitchell's propaganda that 'respected doctors' could not have done it to be baseless and absurd.

Where does Clarence say that or are you just making it up

[pathfinder73]

What relevance has that to Madeleine's case?

What relevance has it to 'latest news' about anything?

When Ruxton heard the recitation of the charge, he stated: "Most emphatically not! Of course not! The farthest thing from my mind! What motive and why? What are you talking about?"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Ruxton

Ruxton was insistent that both women would be found alive[114] and further stated that if the actual identification of the bodies was correct, his "happy home" was now in tatters. He ardently denied the earlier testimony of various prosecution witnesses, whom he frequently accused of either lying or simply being mistaken, and frequently gave rambling,[115] contradictory accounts of his own behaviour and actions prior to his arrest when questioned by both his own defence counsel and when subjected to cross-examination by the prosecution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Ruxton

John Bodkin Adams, Marcel Petiot, Robert George Clements, Thomas Neill Cream.

I've never heard these names before.
Who are they?

[pathfinder73]

I would think they were all doctors for same strange reason

The names are not familiar to me.
They were all doctors?
I assume therefore they are being named because they are doctors who were also murderers?

[pathfinder73]

I don't know their names either but I agree with your thinking.

[Erngath]

I don't know their names either but I agree with your thinking.

And by naming these doctors who were also murderers proves what?

[Erngath]

Nope.

Could not have done what?
