UK - Alesha MacPhail, 6, raped & murdered, Ardbeg, Isle of Bute, Scotland, 2 Jul 2018 -teen arrested

[always reading]

I'd like to understand how you can 'sleuth' something where you have minimal information, as at the moment there is fairly little to go on?

To be able to sleuth, you need intel/facts...not gossip from social media, which probably has absolutely no truth.

I'd also suggest that commenting on whether a child has been sexually assaulted or not constitutes nothing whatsoever to do with 'sleuthing'.

To me...sleuthing should be about cases where there is intel, that remain unsolved...which people can then attempt to put together new theories etc (not cases that have literally just happened, where only the police will really have any intel)...there appears to be a basic lack of human empathy here.

...and for that reason, I'm out of here...not really what I signed up for.

Ok.

"Cannot be named for legal reasons." Jesus christ, how about the world stops protecting these disgusting people. He is only going to gain from the law hiding his identity imo. He shouldn't have raped her ... for legal reasons, but he did it anyway.

 

[Hedgehog]

Raped then murdered at six years old. Poor poor wee mite, the family are going too be haunted forever with what was done to that wee bairn

 

[DakotaMayi]

So is he still innocent till proven guilty? Oh how i hope some of greenocks finest get there hands on him everyday while hes in jail.

Oh yeah, he is. But not in my eyes.

 

[Edinlass]

<modsnip> it will be polmont young offenders until he’s 18...

 

[Weeobanite]

Well said!

 

[Edinlass]

Can't wait for his 18th birthday then.

Polmont won’t be kind to him though, horrible horrible beast as there will be a lot of young men in their with kids Aleshas age. I can’t comprehend it. Feel sick.
