I believe SH knew from the get go that NM killed Becky and that the "perverting justice" charge is because she lied to save his butt not because she thought he was innocent and gave him an alibi.
I am outraged.

But being held without bail suggests a level of seriousness. Having 'consistently' lied to police about this, I doubt that she will be allowed to parent the child for a while. She failed to protect her child from the unfolding events, in fact chose to protect the offender.
I have been thinking it is more than lying to save his butt, IDK but would you sit being questioned on suspicion of kidnapping then murder for 96 hours, when you have a small child to care for? I think it might be more than that. Wouldn't you at some point say "OK I lied"? I know it's possible but... IDK Kinda hard to see into a mind of someone who may not think like you think they should.

Same here. Correct me if i'm wrong, but it seemed to me her missing gadgets seems to have been forgotten in light of the developments. I admit i didn't read all of the link posted, but that's how it appears to me.I'd be very interested to learn if Becky's phone and laptop had been found :^

Maxine Ann Carr: Assisting an offender.
Ian Kevin Huntley having committed an arrestable offence, namely the murder of Jessica Aimee Chapman, Maxine Ann Carr between the 3rd day of August 2002 and the 18th day of August 2002, knowing or believing that the said Ian Kevin Huntley had committed the said offence or some other arrestable offence, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse provided false accounts of her own whereabouts and the activities and whereabouts of the said Ian Kevin Huntley on the 4th day of August 2002 and the 5th day of August 2002 for the said Ian Kevin Huntley, with intent to impede the apprehension or prosecution of the said Ian Kevin Huntley.
Slightly off the main topic, but the different artists impressions in the DM article do vary a bit !
Funny you should say that, while looking into sentences for perverting the course of justice I was reading about Maxine Carr, she provided an alibi for Huntley, knowing it to be false but so far as I'm aware believing at that time, that he wasn't involved, she was stupid but with the aid of the press was made into a monster. It's almost as if the biological fact of having a uterus and especially one that has produced a child, should somehow make it worse - how could a woman do such a thing!? If a brother or close male friend had done the same many people will say 'Ooh he was just showing loyalty' ... i'll shut up now, I know I'm rambling [emoji9]
Yes, apparently he was being guarded by Tom Hanks...
The court clerk told him: "You are charged that between February 18 and March
Interesting, February 18th - Wednesday
ETA: But the charge sheet says differently doesn't it, confused?
ETA2: yep further down the article, duh
According to the charge sheet, Matthews is charged with the "murder of a person aged one year or older, namely between February 19 and March 3, murdered Rebecca Watts".
