Why now?

I doubt he will be tried period.  Article 6, HR, right to a fair trial.

Oh well never mind, perhaps the police can fall back on plan B and go after your suspects instead then.

[jassi]

Plan B might be something along the lines of- We cannot progress prosecution of our prime suspect and are not looking at any other person.

Article 6 wont necessarily stop him being tried. He might try as others have. The police had no choice but to release his name in order to trace those thay want to interview. You act as though its a foregone conclusion.

the case you have highlighted...did you read it. The verdict was overturned due to the withholding of witness satetements by the prosecution...that was the main reason. The judge also said the press coverage was sensational...innaccurate  and misleading.  Is that true in this case.

Which police force named him and put out the image?

I take it those reporters trotting around the Algarve will have to stay home for a fortnight when they return. Why they feel the need to be there, where nothing is happening, I can't imagine.

They might just get back before quarantine is imposed

Whether or not he knew she was home alone is entirely irrelevant IMO.

There is no evidence of anybody going through the bedroom window that he reportedly used. I want new DNA tests - now that is relevant!

[pathfinder73]

Because he was a professional burglar; watched holiday properties; saw parents coming and going...

Knew what time they’d be eating.
Plus, their apartment was right on the ROAD!

Couldn’t have been easier.

No-one knows at this stage, but he may have intended just burgling the apartment...then spotted Madeleine and took her instead. Opportunistic. He wouldn’t have stolen items too if he took Maddie by chance as he was a known burglar.

It’s very simple.

There is no evidence of a burglar or anybody going through the bedroom window as he reportedly used. You cannot convict somebody without evidence!

[pathfinder73]

Alcohol loosens the tongue... And he didn't admit to abducting her afaik... He said he knew what happened to her.
He also admitted to raping someone and showed a recording of it... Hardly normal behaviour

Alcohol also fuels boasts and BS!  If they know what happened then why haven't they recovered the body?

I'll tell you what.  I bet he won't do anything like this again.  And nor will he get a new identity.

I think a committed paedophile will always strike again, given the chance. It’s a compulsion they have no control over.
