Do LE always release an individual's name once they've been charged? Just wondering as obviously with the SE case WC's name got into the press before he'd even been charged. Does LE have an obligation to make the name public if/when a suspect is charged for an offence as serious as murder?
The police don't have to announce it but because it would become public knowledge (i.e. it's a listed court appearance at that point), his basic details would be widely known.
