Deceased/Not Found UK - April Jones, 5, Machynlleth, Wales, 1 Oct 2012 #2 *M. Bridger guilty*

[TGIRecovered]

Plus wine and beer do not mix. Two drinkers? I know men drink wine, but given a preference mine would prefer a beer at home. Our neighbours tend to have recycling bins close to that fill at party times, say Christmas. Divide that lot by two over two weeks and it's still a lot of booze drinking.

As a formerly addicted alcoholic, I can tell you that I heard horror stories when in rehab of the lengths some alcoholics will go to to get alcohol. Once one reaches a certain point, they don't care what it tastes like or if it mixes well as long as there is alcohol in it. Some people will drink hair tonic, cough medicine, cologne or mouthwash.

It is also quite common for an alcoholic to swear off hard liquor, using the faulty reasoning that they can't possibly have a drinking problem if all they drink is beer or wine. Clearly, this is a false premise since alcohol is alcohol regardless of what else is in it. The only difference; 'liquor is quicker!".

I don't know how it is over there, but where I live in Texas, liquor stores have more limited hours and aren't allowed near schools and churches but beer and wine are readily available in grocery and convenience stores until midnight.

All this to say that I believe that the presence of both beer and wine does not necessarily indicate that it was not consumed by the same person.

MOO

I haven't checked in in a day or two- has it been said whether or not MB has an attorney?

 

[Marilynilpa]

Goodness...what on earth did they find in his home?
It may be a good thing police were on to him so quickly, before he could clear up evidence.

Is it possible that they found such a large amount of blood belonging to April that it would be impossible for her to be alive?

Just a dark thought.

Just a dark thought.

Just would be so unusual to kill a child in a such a violent manner to cause so much blood.

They have thrown the book at him! I believe they are convinced they have their man. Crown Prosecution will have worked with them to ensure there is sufficient evidence for all three charges. The evidence must be overwhelming.

Charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice - meaning he has deliberately misled them under questioning. Evil. But innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law, of-course!

Poor child! RIP April - I hope there is justice done for you.

 

[Clutchbag]

Will the police say what evidence they found? Now the investigation is over?

 

[Alyce]

Opal, my take on perverting the course of justice is that he hasnt said anything at all

Not until the trail.

Good job by the police.

Poor April and her parents.

Don't think so. LE said he had spoken. My take is he's been caught out in some lies.

I doubt it - you are within your rights to say absolutely nothing at all. Many people say nothing under questioning.

Charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice - meaning he has deliberately misled them under questioning. Evil. But innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law, of-course!

Or...'supposedly' disposing of evidence, which is why they haven't found April? Please let them be right and that he is their guilty man but for some inexplicable reason I am still not 'feeling' it. What isn't adding up for me? Baffled.

 

[Abstar80]

They are saying "sufficient" evidence and in the public interest for the charges and will appear before court Monday morning.

Most complex and fast moving cases in the history of their force

Tribute paid to volunteers

10 specialist police teams conducting search around the towns, using specialist equipment.

Despite announcement, they are maintaining the committment to the search.

Request for people to not say anything that may hinder the course of justice.

 

[opalsqueak63]

Or...disposing of evidence?

I think it's a lot more than that. We won't know until the trial. Few people who are proven liars under questioning are actually charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice. It could be actively trying to put the blame on someone else, deliberately leading the police on a wild goose chase, etc.

The police will say nothing from now on - unless the police find April's body. Media articles will start being pulled from now relating to MB's character, background, etc.

We won't be told anything at all now that MB has been charged.

 

[sleuther317]

So sad for April's parents, family, and the community.

I would love to hear the evidence they found in his home.

Going back to the beginning I believe I remember someone suggesting perhaps she got away and that's what MB was looking for by the river when he was caught walking on video. Now I'm wondering if that was part of his master plan along with the abandoned vehicle that was relatively close to him when he was arrested. With the last charge, could it have been because he sent them on a wild goose chase?

[Sarahlou]

I have a feeling this is going to be a very gruesome case. I reckon a significant amount of blood was found at the cottage and maybe her clothes.
Why does there have to be sick SOB like this? Ugh.
