Mmmmmmm. The old bill know when something is not right. within a few days they have an idea of who why and where.
They have to do things by the book and not jump in with both feet as the family needs to be respected and a case like this is being watched by the whole Nation.
It's very rare for for the perp to be a stranger, very rare.
It's always a relative or close friend of the family.
That's why I get cheesed off with all Bull with CRB's for togs etc... This Country is full of scared parents who should know better.
9 times out of ten it's close reli or neighbour
Huntley was the one out of ten, but as always the sado is in a position of trust and close contact of the victim.
Another sad time.
