I guessd  it would be an attack on me orone of my posts, and clearly whatever she said was deemed necessary for editing by John.  What a surprise!   what he left of her post makes little sense so I guess I shall never know the full extent of the undoubtedly nasty, spiteful comment she left for me.

It makes perfect sense to me.

I have re-read it and yes, I can see I misunderstood the post first time round.  My apologies.  I wonder what John felt necessary to remove however?  That we shall probably never know...

No fanfare for the common man just justice going about its course albeit 30 yrs on, no salacious gossip about previous, that will we be played out in court if it is the case, silence and how it should be.
One issue though, she's unlikely to have been stabbed to death 37 times , but received 37 stab wounds.

Murder suspect, 54, appears in court over schoolgirl Nikki Allan, seven, found dead in derelict building after going missing nearly 30 years ago

Nikki was killed after leaving her grandparents' home in Sunderland
She was found brutally stabbed to death 37 times and beaten with a brick

Seems the police got it wrong a couple of times, their first prime suspect even standing trial and being acquitted.

And it seems to have taken them 4 years of investigation to bring charges against the current suspect, yet some on here seem to think that the longer a suspect is being investigated the less likely he or she is to have committed the crime!  No logic to that at all...

Yet his name has not been plastered over the media with updates from the police force saying he's murdered the girl, how it should be done.

Then you must send instruction to the German prosecutor.  Perhaps they could do with some advice from us British, we know how to do things proper, innit.

He must have very strong evidence to be so confident

They had supposed strong evidence against some one else who was acquitted.

He confessed but..................... The trial heard that although he had confessed to the killing, a judge ruled police had used "oppressive methods" during questioning and he was found not guilty.

IMO its DNA.

I think the definitive observation here is "although he had confessed to the killing, a judge ruled police had used "oppressive methods" "

Now think back to it being judged in a Portuguese court that Leonor Cipriano was tortured into confessing a crime which she subsequently denied being guilty of.
I would say that being hospitalised and almost blinded by beating makes the Portuguese assault quite "oppressive" - so any idea why she wasn't acquitted but had to spend many years of her life in Jail instead?

Because she's a child killer.
That's why.
But, if you're happy to support murderers that's up to you.
I'll stick to supporting paedophiles, seems fair enough.

Amazing how these things always turn themselves around in the end.

Fancy, police using oppressive methods to get a confession, that would never happen in Portugal.

I'm still waiting for a link to the find Joana fundraiser. It's easy to set up a go fund me but no one ever does it.

Why isn't anyone looking for Joana?

Why aren't the McCann supporters doing anything to help clear the Cipriano's name?

I know why, it's because it's obvious Joana was murdered by her mother & uncle, only, McCann supporters won't ever admit as much.

We have already ascertained that you have no logic.

Go bury your head in the sand rather than make such dreadful accusations
