Why did suspicion fall upon Luke Mitchell?

[Mrs S]

Of course it’s not relevant which begs the question why you brought it up in the first place. This is the internet and anyone can claim anything, without proof you’re simply one of those anyones.

It's relevance is Sandra Lean has stated he isn't on protection so she made it relevant as It's another untruth from her, tell you what when Sandra lean gives the proof he isnt on protection, I'll give the proof he is! yes I am just another nobody on the internet, but seeminly one with more info regarding that than Sandra Lean, or more probable more truthful!  Sandra lean has certainly prooved that anyone can claim anything

There was something seriously amiss with him for one reason or another which is why the suggestion was made by his school regarding an educational psychologist.

What I really cannot get my head around is the collection of bottles filled with urine in his bedroom which I find one of the most extraordinary facts I've ever encountered.

When you give it context it really does seem that strange at all. Luke was a child, yes a child, who had found his girlfriend murdered and mutilated and then was subjected to a sustained campaign of harassment from both the police and the media. If innocent can you even begin to fathom the effect this would have on his mental health? That Luke began collecting his urine in bottles is not a surprising reaction but an all too understandable one.

You had your chance Mrs S. Not really interested anymore.

OCD - presumably because he ‘hoarded’ his urine in numerous large fizzy drinks bottles?

‘Compulsive hoarding has been found to be twice as prevalent in men as women and research has shown that sufferers often had a family member who has OCD and/or hoarding tendencies.  Some of the common items hoarded include newspapers, leaflets and any paper items generally, such as shopping lists and receipts, or clothes and furniture but in some cases may include animals, half-eaten food, urine and faeces.  It is easy to see that one of the immediate practical issues of hoarding is that of health and safety including fire, infestations and falls.

You do know that it started after the murder, don’t you?

When you give it context it really does seem that strange at all. Luke was a child, yes a child

Luke was a teenager, not a child. A teenager that was allowed to have sex, with several girls, a teenager that was allowed to smoke and deal cannabis, a teenager that was allowed to carry knives, a teenager that was allowed to get tattoos, a teenager that was allowed out to all hours of the evening. A teenager not a child, huge difference.

  That makes two of us! Perhaps Sandra should be more truthful even on the small seemingly irrelevant things. Have a nice day.

Perhaps you should cease to make claims that you are unwilling or unable to prove.

Apart from the tattoos, I've met quite a few teenagers who have done all that. Sad, but true. It is not unusual.

How do you know when this started?

The bottles were found on 4 July 2003 (CoA para 127) around 20 large fizzy drink size bottles apparently

I don’t think Mitchell filled these bottles over the course of approx 3 days and it’s highly possible this was something he was already doing prior to 30th June

[Mrs S]

Perhaps you should cease to make claims that you are unwilling or unable to prove.

Perhaps Sandra should do the same! Swings and roundabouts there. Difference is I could prove my claim if I chose to. Sandra Can't!

I’m afraid not least of all the victim.

Did the parents or parent allow these teenagers that you know to do these things?
