Just glad they nailed him so soon.

I pray Lindsay didn't suffer.

I'm in the states, but it's the same way here. Bins are numbered and linked to a specific address.

In my area the bins are barcoded to a specific address

 

[Angleterre]

Can we sleuth him or will he be protected due to his age ..

He won’t be allowed to be named because of his age so yes you are correct x

 

[Angleterre]

Not necessarily. UK police only need suspicion for an arrest. A blue wheelie bin was found near the body and he's caught on cctv pulling a blue wheelie bin in that direction. I'd say that's suspicion enough.

Yes you are correct

I wonder if he could have been associated with her because of the school?

Good call. We know Lindsay was a teaching assistant but was it at primary or secondary school? If it was the latter there could be a link there.

Right, I think she was at a primary school.

I think this could be very similar to a well known case a few years ago.

How long will the police have to either charge the 16 year old or let him go?

Which case was that?

I think it's a possible total of 96 hours if they get full extensions, first from a senior officer and then from a judge.

Gf/bf killing mother? Even younger than 16?

 

[jamjim]

Bloody hell, 16 years old!! If there was no trace of the bin I would maybe think that perhaps he was just wheeling away some stolen goods or something. The fact that they found a blue bin just like that in the cemetery that Lindsay was located in? Nah, bit too much of a coincidence, that one.

My first thought goes to Jessica Ridgeway. She was 10 years old. Her killer was 16 when he was arrested. He had attacked an adult female jogger before abducting, assaulting and killing Jessica. Our Late Great @Foxfire used to talk about how some budding Serial Killers start as young as 14 years old. I won’t be surprised at all to learn the motive was sexual here.

OMG you have got to be kidding me! I am really shocked at this turn of events. Poor Lindsay

How utterly bizarre. You never see anyone doing this with a wheeled bin. You move it out to the street and back again, period. Did not anyone notice this strange behavior?

I don't think most people would bat an eyelid at someone dragging a wheelie bin in Accrington as there are quite a number of homeless beggars who sit on the pavements in town. Always asking for money. Also, drug addicts walking around asking for money for their bus fare/train fare, etc. I went to a small retail park last week & went I came out of the store & got in my car a man was hammering on the window shouting open the door. I was terrified

which case are you referring to, please?

I think if police name him we can sleuth him, using initials. I think. Would need clarification from a mod.

The police will never name a suspect under 18 in the UK. If he were to be charged and found guilty then the press may apply to the courts to lift the naming restrictions if its in the public's interest. As in Alesha Macphails killer's case for instance.
