Do we know a male?

 

[Kasmeer]

Under 18? That is unexpected indeed, don't think we've heard of anyone in that age bracket <modsnipped- not victim friendly>

 

[Redgoblin]

Arrested doesn't mean charged, so it could still be someone else related to the arrested?

Under 18? That is unexpected indeed, don't think we've heard of anyone in that age bracket (admittedly I don't know the age of the uncle but assumed him to be somewhat older).

Wow we have heard of someone under 18 I mentioned them earlier. I thought no way but now it would appear yes way!

 

[Tortoise]

Gawd site is playing up too....

I wonder if his identity will always be kept secret too if he's a minor.

Under 18 means fairly new driver if even legal

<modsnipped for speculating about the id of the arrested person> You said he was out at 3am and questioned (iirc). I hope not!

 

[Tortoise]

What is the age raithjames if you can say..?

 

[Legally Bland]

I don't think we're going to hear much more. And we may need to be careful what we post.

I dont think we can sleuth victims/victims families unless named as POI.

 

[Taskforce88]

Has there been a time when a 'minor' was named in a horrific case?

 

[Armchair_Defective]

What social services thing?

It was in one news report posted earlier on. Something about police consulting with various agencies etc. in their enquiry.

 

[Alyce]

Ah, there were 2 cars taken away

Daily Mail seems to be saying it's a boy from one of the other households in that building - remember it's a house divided into flats. <snipped>
