Sounds like typical Australia Post to me. They were probably all mailed on the same day ;)

Yes maybe they took varying amounts of time (up to 23 days?) to arrive having been posted on 8th April.

So how did the police know about them if that was the case?

Perhaps someone at the Post Office either in Forreston and/or Leeton came forward and gave police the evidence before MS collected them if sent to the Post Office in Forreston if there is one. Maybe police opened up the parcels, photographed the contents and wrapped them up again. Or did one of MS' housemates tell police?

I just cannot work out how the police knew.

Usually they do if sent by courier. No sure about the Post Office.

MS received a number of items in the mail from VS (while VS was in jail) over the period of April 8 to 31 which he then dumped and did not tell police.

VS was arrested on the evening of 8th April, 2015 so unless he posted one item that day, the others would have been sent to MS while he was locked up.

I guess prisoners are allowed to send mail but I guess it is inspected before being sent by prison officers so they must have known about the items and waited for MS to come forward.

But this also means that VS had the evidence with him while in jail. I would have thought they would have searched VS first.

I wonder what he posted on the 8th April before he was arrested? Murder weapon? Surely they had taken his mobile away from him so I doubt it would have been the photos.

Can anyone explain this to me please?

I don't get it either. I doubt the items were sent while VS was in custody, they must have been sent prior to that.

With regards to the delay perhaps VS sent a package to a fake/false address with the return to sender details on the package being MS address in SA. When the package couldn't be delivered it would be returned to sender presumably...

I don't see how VS (or MS if he was aware prior) thought sending evidence which presumably ties him to the crime half way across the country to his brother was a good idea. Even if he thought he was under surveillance and couldn't dispose of it himself, then mailing a package(s) isn't exactly inconspicuous in a small town.
 
I'm lost for words. The saying that truth is stranger than fiction comes to mind.

I heard about this arrest while I was driving this morning and honestly nearly ran off the road. I could not believe what I was hearing. I still don't beliveve it. Talk about dumb and dumber !

Her poor family and fiancé.

Just unbelievable :(
 
It seems the new charge against VS maybe has to do with the arrest of MS. My way of thinking: sexual assault - underwear/dessous. Could be something like that had been sent to Forreston?

Was VS needing help from his twin or boasting of what he'd done.
I'm edging toward the latter because the posted article could have been his proof.
Maybe it was an item of lingerie. :(

I'm hating this world right now.
 
The estimated delivery timeframe between Leeton and Forreston is 3-4 business days. Having worked for Australia Post for the last 4 years, my experience is that it's almost always longer between such locations. There is no "Express Post" network between those postcodes either. Whatever he has posted, was obviously small enough to fit in a street posting box as I really can't see him fronting up to a Post Office to send it. He also would have presumably thought about putting postage on there, HOWEVER it is not widely known to the public that if you post WITHOUT postage, it will still reach its destination regardless, in "good faith", however AP will often chase underpaid postage payment up with sender, and if not sender details are not provided, then the addressee. Australia Post doesn't "screen" articles either, UNLESS they are 'undeliverable' due to the being incorrect/insufficient, in which case they are forwarded into a Mail redistribution warehouse, opened and a description of the contents logged... You'd be shocked what people have actually sent through the post over the years!

Given that police have actually charged him with being an accessory, it seems obvious that he actually DID receive the contents in the mail and perhaps, like others have suggested, was caught trying to dispose of them.

Scary and physically intimidating .. Poor Steph, she would have been easily overpowered by this monster. I wonder if the two of them didn't fantasize about murder together for years .. awful.

Twins have a special connection and know each other's most inner secrets. I bet you're right about the fantasies. I wonder if VS was into violent *advertiser censored* because this is about the most gut wrenching thing ever.
OMG I want to swipe that evil smirk off his ugly face.
Why did they have to bring their sick arses back to Australia!!
 
Agree. Definitely not the full quid. How dumb do they come?!?!
 
I would also speculate that an astute postal worker saw the packages and thought that the police might be interested in them.

I didn't find any news in a Netherlands' newspapers article.
 
Something else that is kind of odd (see quotes below):

http://m.couriermail.com.au/news/br...n-nsw-scott-case/story-fnihsfrf-1227391302919
It is believed he and his two house mates, backpackers working on farms, were hauled into a police station to be questioned after his twin's arrest on April 8.

http://mobile.news.com.au/national/...ie-scott-inquiry/story-fns0kb1g-1227391009034
Mr Kavanagh said people, like Stanford, who worked at the flower farm lived a transient lifestyle.

From what I understand, this sort of work is usually done by travellers and is generally low paid. I find it odd that a citizen who has access to all sorts of employment would be doing this kind of work. The only reason I could think of is that he is traveling around himself or can't get any other work and then my mind wanders as to why that is the case.

There's nothing wrong with this sort of work, I just find it unusual for a non traveller to be doing it.
 
Be interesting to know why the items were mailed? V could have thrown them in the canal too. And whether M was agreeable to receiving the items. Imagine if they'd becone lost in the mail or had mistakenly ended up in someone else's hands! Also wonder how it transpired that things were mailed. .. Has V started talking??? The twins mustrealky not be too legal systt savvy. M not hhaving a lawyer either. And that smirking at the camera is disturbing!

It comes after Vincent Stanford was arrested last night (8.4.) at a home in Maiden Ave, Leeton, in the NSW Riverina, 550km west of Sydney for the murder of a bride-to-be who would have been married on Saturday.

I wonder why this long period of time, when VS was long since been detained?

Police need to investigate thoroughly and gather evidence before an arrest. The action of 'arrest' needs to be justified within Police powers. IMHO. Remember msm stated that VS did not cooperate with the police investigation. This would have created significant obstacles I imagine.

BIB: VS was interviewed by police on the Tuesday after SS was reported to Police as missing on the Monday. It's possible he and MS discussed what to do about the evidence. It's probable that VS had posted items to MS before he was arrested on Wednesday. Small towns have 'big gossip' in the local community. Also if item were posted to MS's residential address, then house mates may have seen and/or collected the mail from the letterbox. Just some further thoughts. IMO.

No need to hate the world. :blowkiss: This is upsetting stuff.

What we are sleuthing here is depraved and perverted. It's human pathology. The police are people just like us, with family and friends just like us, yet they have to deal with this dark side of human depravity. Unfortunately, these 'twisted, depraved' people exist among us and can harm others. We often don't know about them because they are assumed 'mentally competent' have the 'right to freedom' and the same rights as us in society - until they commit a depraved, heinous crime such as this one.

My opinion only.

Man accused of assisting brother after alleged murder of Stephanie Scott escorted to Adelaide Airport
June 11, 2015.

"Police will allege Mr Stanford received Ms Scott's personal belongings in the mail from twin brother Vincent Stanford...Marcus Stanford allegedly disposed of the items, according to police facts expected to be tendered to Central Local Court later today".

The article reports that Marcus Stanford was escorted to the airport at 7.30am this morning by four police officers. When he arrives in Sydney, NSW Police plan to charge him with being an accessory after the fact in the 26-year-old teacher's murder.
 
This development is really kind of weird and more than a little unsettling. At first I thought maybe MS's involvement was helping VS with over-the-phone advice after VS was panicking after having caused the death of SS. But to receive and dispose of items that belonged to SS brings a whole other level of depravity and collusion.

Teacher's clothes 'posted to brother' :mad:
Found dead: Stephanie Scott.
Twin brother of accused killer allegedly received a number of items in the post connected to Stephanie Scott's death.
[This headline in printed in The Age Newspaper, June 11, 2015 at 10.37am]. So we can speculate Marcus Stanford disposed of SS's clothing.
Agree Eucalyptuz, this is looking more like 'depraved collusion'.
