Why aren’t they naming the suspect??

In your opinion, what do you make of said comments (I’m not on FB)

after just speaking to my aunt who lives nearby, utterly heartbreaking and horrendous.

Dear lord

Check under the newly laid (supposedly) concrete floor.

Awful

Definitely.

 

[JerricaBenton]

I have an usual/hard to pronounce(for idiots) ****lyn name and get called Benylin by quite a few people so when I saw bennylyn I was instantly intrigued.

how the heck did she end up in dundee? My aunt lives close by, wonder if she knows what's going on.

An online romance perhaps?

 

[JerricaBenton]

The news has really rocked the neighbourhood.

This is weird. Why is the first I have heard of this was today if it was urgent? They didn’t even give a surname for two weeks!

also amazing how she’s not been seen since mid February, only reported two weeks later as travelling to Dundee, and another two week until today.

sickening and really sorry to consider what has happened here

I can't speak for UK specifically, but in many European countries it's rare to name suspects until there are charges. Even then the press might hold off until there is a conviction.

They said they charged the man. Interesting.

They said they charged the man. Interesting.

he'll be named tomorrow/Monday when the charges are upgraded.

I can't help thinking about why he kept the eldest alive. Was she his biological child?

 

[whatawaster]

I can't help but think possible sex offender. His name is circulating on SM.

That could well be it. It could be the other way around, too. If the younger one is his it's not impossible that the rage and sense of ownership were directed at the woman and their shared child. Another child could have seemed like an outsider to whatever was the source of his rage, and hence would not have been a target. Or it could be something else entirely. It's so difficult to figure out anything about a mind that's capable of something like this.

Strange the way it mentions that the eldest or surviving child had been successfully ‘traced’. Where on earth had they been or put with?

From the article in the Scottish Sun, it sounds as though Bennylyn and her children had been living in some sort of housing scheme for women escaping domestic violence whilst in Bristol. I wonder where they lived previously.

Oh man, I hope this doesn't turn out as dark as the possibilities my mind is throwing up.

Murder probe launched over missing mother and two-year-old daughter
“This is a complex inquiry involving both local officers in Dundee and specialist resources from across Police Scotland.

“Bennylyn’s next of kin have been updated on the arrest and are being supported by colleagues from Avon and Somerset Police.

“Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.

“There will be an increased police presence in the area for a considerable period of time and I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation.

“Anyone with concerns or information can speak to a local officer or call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident 1434 of March 5 2021.”

I hope they release his name soon, I've had a look at his apparent FB profile and the photos match the property shown in the media.

Has anyone heard where the child that was located was staying?

 

[modesty blaise]

How horrifying is this someone she met online??
