Met officer arrested in connection with missing Sarah Everard.

Well I certainly don't think it's right to be presuming her dead, people might stop looking for her.

Well said, even though you meant it facetiously.

No, never?  Surely not?

Don't you start!

Media reports say that she was recorded by a door bell camera as she passed by.
Just shows how modern day surveillance is much more that street cameras.

Just imagine how useful such technology might have been in PDL back in 2007 had it been around at the time.

Not good news. Why do people, men in particular, think they can get away with it these days?...

I notice a woman has been arrested as well.

Why do women think they can get away with it?! (whatever it is)

Women don't usually pose much of a threat to other women who are walking home of an evening.  If a woman is going to be attacked or kidnapped on her walk home the perpetrator will almost certainly be a man.  A woman might help him cover up his crime but the initial act will almost always be carried out by the male of the species.  What gives this sort of man the sense that they are entitled to commit these acts I wonder?  I would fully expect your reply to be one of victim-blaming, because that would be the typical WUM response.  Perhaps you can rise above the impulse to do so on this occasion, or is it outwith your control?

La La La.

The guy they have arrested lives in Deal which is a town I know very well indeed, I have relatives who live there.  This one is really hard to get one's head around.    A married man with kids who is an armed officer responsible for diplomatic security?  It all sounds like the plot of a BBC1 primetime drama.

You're making too many assumptions for someone who believes in the presumption of innocence imo

You're presuming...

1) That she was attacked or kidnapped

2) That the womans only action in the crime was covering it up.

& 3) That the arrested man is guilty.


I haven't seen any evidence supporting this.

You're assuming my post was specifically about this case.  I suggest you read it again.

Well of course, you posted all that on this particular thread because you were talking about something entirely unconnected.

My mistake.

It doesn't look very good for Sarah, no doubt it will all be revealed what happened to her in due course. The fact that a Met officer of some standing within the force has been arrested shouldn't really surprise us as temptation and greed can affect anyone given the right circumstances.

Yes it was your mistake.  My post was a general observation, raised in response to my interest in this case. As yet we don't know exactly what happened, so I remain open-minded, though not optimistic for poor Sarah's chances.

  see the Mail has now got the name & a picture up of this arrested officer. Bit naughty at this stage, I think

[Venturi Swirl]

Arrested on suspicion of murder now.
