As other posters have mentioned, the identity of the culprits seemed to be a bit of an open secret locally from early on... I was interested in seeing their “hunting” photographs quickly being removed from various sites. I wonder if the delay in charging them was due to the difficulty identifying which brother was driving the vehicle and in general who did what, as they would share the same dna. If they each blamed the other, for example, saying they had nothing to do with it and went home separately that night or simply gave “no comment” interviews, it could be very difficult to prove which twin was driving and whether they were both involved. I know fingerprints are unique so maybe this has proved crucial. Fingerprints in blood would be ideal I guess. As would eye witness accounts of them leaving together in the same vehicle. And mobile phone location data perhaps. It could be a very interesting trial proving the charges “beyond reasonable doubt”. I imagine the police have taken their time making the strongest possible case, before charging. So glad for Tony Parson’s family that they may finally get some justice and proper closure.
