The Mail says husband, as does the Daily Mirror:

The husband of Lindsay Birbeck says he is 'broken' by her death after she was found dead in a cemetery.
A post mortem on 47-year-old Lindsay Birbeck's body revealed she was strangled to death. Now, her heartbroken husband Tim Birbeck, 49, has said he is "broken" by the devastating loss.

Responding to a post on Facebook written by a friend, Tim said he was "broken mate, it certainly hurt". Tim went on to thank the police for their work.

At the mo i can't find an MSM source that states otherwise but i'll keep looking!

The body must have been dismembered to get into that bin IMO.

Was she in the bin when found? Or are people just thinking Lindsay was in the bin shown on CCTV? Did LE say Lindsay was found in the bin? I can't find links to any of this stuff. Help!

We don't know yet. I was just replying to Rosegold who wondered how Lindsay would fit in the bin (if she was in there) because of her height and my reply was she must have been dismembered to fit in there. IMO of course.

Hope that cleared it up for you!

Thank you. But I'm looking for links so we can establish an accurate timeline of events and persons involved.

Bumping the rules.

Hi Accy, welcome to Websleuths!

Go to the home page and have a look at The Rules & Terms Of Service - it will be a big help to you on this site!

She wasn’t in the bin, the bin was found nearby. It says in the police statement Police release image of suspect in Lindsay Birbeck murder investigation

Nowhere does it say that.

 

[Lollyso]

Nowhere does it say that.

Not explicitly, no.

What I think Accy is referring to is the part of the article where it states:

“He is pictured pulling a blue wheelie bin - similar to the one found near to where Lindsay's body was discovered”

Key words: near to

 

[Accy123]

Nowhere does it say that.

It says at the top of the article and was in the original appeal by the local police on Facebook including the CCTV footage. The appeal with the footage was removed once the arrest was made

I'm 5'10" and could easily fit in my bin, with room to spare.

<modsnip: quoted post was removed> let's give a little bit of leeway to new members on this site - we've all been there ourselves after all.

Thanks for joining us. The rules take a little getting used to but you’ll get used to it. Even older members make the mistake sometimes!

We just need to leave rumours off the thread unless we can back it up with an article from MSM. There’s also private messaging if you want to discuss things with other members too.

Welcome

Has there been any update from LE? I can’t seem to see any, he would have needed to be charged/released or extended by now.

Nothing yet. Up the Arsenal.

I’m saying nothing until after Sunday


I do think it’s weird they’ve not updated. Unless due to his age? If he’s charged they’ll maybe want him in court/away from the police station before announcing.

From gov.uk:

The police can hold you for up to 24 hours before they have to charge you with a crime or release you.

They can apply to hold you for up to 36 or 96 hours if you’re suspected of a serious crime, eg murder.

It is unsettling that they haven’t released a statement but there are things going on behind the scenes that must be preventing them from doing so.

It's only been a couple of hours since they've had him for 24. The police aren't at our beck and call and it's past midnight. They'll probably release something tomorrow.
