The POLICE were too STUPID to fathom this out

What makes you think any route he might have taken was direct from SW England? 

He was partly brought up in Scotland moving there at the age of 10 where he remained until adhulthood.

He was from, and lived in Swindon.

He was from, and lived in Swindon.

He may have taken a passenger to the Midlands or North and an opportunity presented to take a passenger to Edinburgh. 

He may have decided to take a fishing trip to Scotland, or visited old acquaintances, and made the trip pay by taking passengers direct from SW or looked for passengers en route.  All sorts of permutations exist IF he was responsible.

It seems in the case of Caroline Glachan the police tried to pin the murder on her best friend:

He may have taken a detour via London and York and picked up Suzy Lamplugh and Claudia Lawrence too.

So, Halliwell has maybe taken a fare from Swindon to the Midlands or North of England, then his next fare may have been from there to central Scotland, and on arriving in Scotland, he meets his pal, goes fishing, and commits a murder?

What was the motive for Halliwell's murders, btw?

As I said the permutations are infinite.  He was a taxi driver, had connections in Scotland and was a keen fisherman.

The murder of SO appears motiveless.  He apparently becase "besotted" with RG who was a sex worker and he used her services.

Former detective Steve Fulsher who brought Haliwell to book has suggested he might be responsible for the disappearance of CL.

I have to say I'm not getting the keen fisherman thing.

Yep - I see Fulsher is saying Halliwell could be responsible for another 6 cases in addition to the main 2.

Clearly a nasty piece of work.

By all accounts CH's fave pastime was fishing.  Scotland is renowned for its fishing/hols.  Both CG and J J were found near rivers.

I'm not saying CH was responsible but I think someone of his ilk fits the profile.  He was found to have extreme pornograhy on his computer eg child pornograpgy, rape, violence and beastality.  What did LM have on his?

What do you think of policemen making public claims such as this about named individuals but without any actual evidence?

He's on a whole life tariff.  The cases are non-contentious and he has admitted guilt.  What's to lose? 

[Vertigo Swirl]

OK, so as long as they’re in prison “on a whole life tariff” it’s ok to accuse them of any crime without any evidence.  I got it.

PS:  what do you mean by “non-contentious” by the way?

[William Wallace]

If men never pull out women’s hair in a fight  then women never butcher other women in the manner Jodi was butchered.

Men are involved in thousands of violent incidents every day never mind in a year. I don't remember one where pulling hair out by the roots was mentioned. What that means is the chances of a man doing that are totally remote. It's true what you said about other women and Jodi, but that applies to men too because murders comparable to this one in Scotland actually don't exist. By comparable I mean by the type of injuries and attack. Other murders by Tobin,Sinclair and those other 3 high profile cases I mentioned were horrendous, but pulling hair out by the roots was not done by any of them, 5 of the most evil people and worst psychopaths in a generation.
