A very interesting case. I have no idea whether Luke committed the murder or, if not, who did, but it certainly looks as if there is no actual evidence demonstrating his guilt. He was only 14 years old at the time and was treated appallingly by the police; he must have been terrified. In that...
Goodness knows. I really believe the French police made their minds up from the outset that this case involved the brother and are chasing any lead to prove that. Personally I think their investigation is prejudiced and too narrow as per this report from the Express...

Beware... due to the way the DM construct their stories, adding one onto the other in a stream, there are various errors in this...
IF he did kill her then I am not sure whether or not it was planned but I would tend to think not given his panicked reaction on the Monday and following days. It didn't seem very thought through - fleeing to Scotland. It depends too on whether the suspect thought Georgia had told anyone where...
I had another thought. Perhaps the suspect confessed yesterday and also gave them some idea where to look for the body. Given the extensive woodland area along the Nant Y Garth pass, let alone in the other areas around Wrexham, they found a body very quickly. I suppose a confession would count...
His mother, a teacher, his stepfather, an electrician, and his step sister were on annual holiday in Italy. The suspect made a post about it on facebook to Georgia Williams, saying he was 'free/had the house to himself'. I guess that is why he arranged the photo shoot. I think the van they were...
I hope that I am wrong but Georgia had gone to the house for a photo shoot and I can't help but think that the evidence may be recordings or photo's of her death. The suspect in custody was obsessed with her and if he was the perpetrator that type of personality may have wanted to 'own' images...
So slow this investigation. Seven months to 'find' the DNA seems extreme. However, reading between the lines, the French police seem to still suspect the brother and the two little girls have only limited contact with their natural family. I so hope they clear this up as if the family are...

The police have linked the killing to the murder of another Tourist in France in July who was shot dead while his children slept in the family car.

Violent mentally disturbed person with previous history of violence seems to be current line of enquiry.

This Telegraph article published 17.11.2012 has quite a good precis of some of the main theories to date.
My thoughts are that the use of a first world war Luger...
I love the UK and Eire thread. In fact I'd like a Europe thread so I could easily see what is happening where. Even better a clickable world map!!! Maybe that's asking too much.....

Report today from the BBC. Basically still no breakthrough. The French police are still saying:
1. the gun was an old Luger
2. the daughter and father were out of the car, the rest of the family inside it when the shooting started.
New suggestions from...
That's a thought especially as if the cyclist shows signs of having been hit by the family car it does suggest that the car was moving forward at some point and was thrown into reverse afterwards, maybe because the cyclist had been hit.....

Hi, this is my first post on websleuths so I hope I understand all the rules correctly! I've been following this case with interest. Information that comes out seems to be contradictory in nature so it is quite difficult to draw any conclusions. I am interested in the way that the shooting has...
