The videos make me uneasy, he’s a cocky little s**t!

I really didn't get that impression. Just very normal teenager, a little bit confident maybe but hard to tell as you kinda have to act confident when vlogging.

Any resemblance in the videos to any adults in the case? Not trying to identify the accused just trying to make sense of a connection.

Someone left this comment earlier on social media and its something I agree with entirely:

"There's something about this case that bothers me, maybe detectives should dig a little deeper....."

The accused resembling others involved with this case?

Ah maybe your right, maybe I just don’t like his face, or his voice or that hair. Oh and he looks fit and tall and definitely able to move a petite 6 year old IMHO

Look deeper into this boys head...aye! That’s about it.

I remember the allegations of a cover-up when this all began. Locals mentioned a cover-up with an incident involving the accused some years ago.

The accused resembling others involved with this case?

Yes. It just seems to me there's more depth to a connection somehow. But appreciate it's tricky ground, due to not wanting to identify.

I feel there is a vast depth and connection to the whole thing. I haven't seen the videos and would know how to find them unless someone PMs me info.

If you're wondering if the Accused is related in any way to an adult who's involved then the answer is NO - the brother of an adult involved just happens to share the same first name as the Accused.

If I've read your query and got it wrong, my apologies.

No, it wasnt due to a shared first name but will leave it there, don't want to go down a tricky path (least of all as it would be based on unfounded rumour!)

Without going too far, are you suggesting he is the son of someone?

No, ignore my comment. It was confusion over a name after all! Sorry folks

 

[nothinonyou]

I've only seen the picture of the accused that was circulated when all this came out and I've seen his youtube. <modsnipped facebook information>

Will be very interested to see if there are witnesses to take the stand to say T said it's for the best and if there is a dealer to confirm his purchase that night

It all seems a very tangled web

I agree with others it seems at the minute it's a combination of a very disturbed young man and his crush on T ...I'd say there has been more there in the past even if mainly in his head

He seems to have sat and thought of an answer (of sorts) to everything

I wonder if he will try to say his call to T on Tue night was actually a signal to meet him

 

[neteditor]

Can anyone recall a trial whereby the defendants defence was this bizarre?

Yes, Ian Stewart (Helen Bailey murder) was way more bizarre than this IMO.

Edit: Correct typo

I'm seeing something between him and her and if not real then certainly it's his infatuation with an older girl who he is seeing quite often. That's might be the situation here. It's certainly a strong pull for some young men. That said, it doesn't sit with what he is accused of doing so certainly a disturbed individual.

Just seen the news report on Scottish news at 10pm. Shows both TM and RM cuddling, they look totally shattered. First i’d heard but it said the accused’s mother called police due to her sons strange behaviour. So more than just viewing CCTV

I think if he came sneaking back home in the middle of the night naked that would definitely count as 'strange behaviour' ... and I'd easily believe that that's what she saw on the CCTV.
