Good point.I wonder if the guy even knows English?
He reacted in Spanish when fleeing.
His "Jefe threat" would be ineffective in English speaking country.
I mean,
How many people could understand him?
True. If he didn’t have very much money he also might have used existing train tickets because they were pre-bought. Would also save him from having to buy anything with card etc. (potentially traceable).Earlier someone mentioned Occam's Razor, which is something I also tend to believe in.
Of course there could be other people involved, or underworld connections, or any number of other things.
But to me, the simplest "Occam's Razor" explanation is that the two apparently elderly victims were known to the suspect, who was perhaps a lodger or something like that. He killed them for whatever reason, and in his desperation to dispose of them, he packed them into suitcases and took them to Bristol--where they had been planning to go on holiday.
If they were found and the police later came to speak to him, he could say something like, "They never came back from their holiday, I don't know what happened!"

Just musing out loud really as it doesn’t really seem like the work of an organised individual.
Like one at a time maybe? Less to notice.chucking the suitcases in the Thames would have been smarter than this.
I definitely hear “Mi jefe es muy malo.”The video claims he is clearly heard saying, "My boss is a really bad man." When I listened, I could only hear "malo" (bad) clearly.
It does make me wonder if he was told to dispose of the bodies/was set up to be the fall guy.
I don’t think it would make sense for him to talk about a bad “friend,” though? That would mean nothing to the cyclist, with no context.Whilst discussing his understanding of the English language, I hear the word "boss" being used in the same way as "mate" so it could have been used in that sort of context despite it not being appropriate. JMO
OR if he is the one who killed the two people, one of THEM was his boss and he is saying that this all happened because his boss was really bad. Elderly doesn't mean incompetent.I definitely hear “Mi jefe es muy malo.”
Either he does have a really bad “boss,” he said that just to scare the cyclist, or he’s mentally ill and has delusions of working for an organized crime group.
I think if he were talking about a deceased victim, he’d say, “My boss was really bad” — not “is really bad,” which suggests he’s talking about someone still living.OR if he is the one who killed the two people, one of THEM was his boss and he is saying that this all happened because his boss was really bad.

Makes sense. Also makes me wonder if Jefe is "boss" or a relative ("leader of household"). But that might be a Mexican thing. Just wondering out loud.I think if he were talking about a deceased victim, he’d say, “My boss was really bad” — not “is really bad,” which suggests he’s talking about someone still living.
Unless he’s just not in a clear state of mind.
“Jefe” can also mean something casual like “Chief,” but that would be a term of endearment or familiarity; I don’t know if the suspect would be referring to someone so lightheartedly under the circumstances?Makes sense.

Not always a term of endearment, depending on the family, which is why I was wondering. Again, just kind of wondering.“Jefe” can also mean something casual like “Chief,” but that would be a term of endearment or familiarity; I don’t know if the suspect would be referring to someone so lightheartedly under the circumstances?
Yeah, good point. Lots for us to wonder about, hope we learn more soon. Such a wild case.Not always a term of endearment, depending on the family, which is why I was wondering. Again, just kind of wondering.
I think we dont know if he travelled by trainis the thinking still that he came by train before grabbing the cab? I can't get past him supposedly struggling with the suitcases on a train unless he had help
