What needs to be investigated scrupulously
and explained
is how the brother of a girl who'd been in a relationship with NUA
could tweet that he was 'certain' someone (CJ) would be arrested/charged
in relation to this killing
within a specified number of hours ?
And be correct
The ramifications and implications in that are staggering
He was not correct (and admitted it).
[Nausicaa has already answered, but I will also post my answer, that I typed earlier and forgot to post, because I was reading other tabs.]
His first tweet on this topic was posted on 31 December at 10:09 am. CJ had been arrested 28 hours earlier. GM said:
'I am 100% certain that Chris Jefferies, under suspicion for the murder of Jo Yeates, will be charged with murder within the next 12 hours.'
Within 12 hours because he (or his source) probably thought that CJ was not a man who could resist the police's methods any longer. And I think so. It is only an impression, but I think that CJ is a very honest man. So honest that he does not even hide when he is spying his tenants, LOL. So if he had been guilty, he would have not resisted for 36 hours, in my opinion.
'Within the next 12 hours' probably meant before the end of the first 36 hours, so only 8 hours later. At the end of these 36 hours, they can go to a magistrate and ask for more time, or the suspect can be charged, or they can release him, on bail or without bail.

GM's next tweet was posted on 1 January at 3:04 pm:
My source is an idiot and wrong!!!
The police had been granted more time to question CJ, and it had been 45 hours since they had arrested him. It was still possible to charge him, though, but at least for the time it would take, GM's source was wrong.
About 9 hours later, CJ was released on bail, and without charges. This time, the source was completely wrong.
