It's more than a rumour. The perpetrator is on record as having done so. It became public knowledge in 1986, when the contents of his diary became public. And it wasn't morphine, it was a morphine-cocaine mixture aka a speedball.

That's what occurred to me. Put it this way; Simms was sentenced to life and sixteen in 1989. If Simms had admitted his guilt and said that he did indeed dump the body in the Manchester Ship Canal, he'd have been out in 2005. But as it is, he has always maintained his innocence, and thus...

My presumption would be that A&SC are working on the theory that, whilst the body may have arrived at the Barton Court address on the 22/23 February, it was being secreted somewhere else in the interim. And if the body was being transported around Bristol in this Zafira, then they would be...

There are a few about here and there. Bristol CC even provide an online map that shows you where they are. http://www.bristol.gov.uk/page/explore-bristol-city-centre

That might well be the case. But nevertheless I believe it was correctly reported that NM was charged with murder "between February 19 and March 3".

I believe it to be accurate reporting. Normally homicide charges are framed on the basis that the murder took place between (a) the day that the victim was last seen alive and, (b) the day on which the body was found. (Or sometimes the day before, and the day after, just to be really sure.)

1,200 exhibits isn't a lot at all in relation to a homicide enquiry. Operation Ottawa - a Dyfed & Powys investigation of 2 double murders in Pembrokeshire - had 3,800 exhibits from in and around the prime suspect's home alone, plus more from the two crime scenes. These days SOCO (or CSI if...

There may well be some reason why the charges were framed with the date of 22 February. It may well be that the the police have reason to believe that the body or body parts in question came into the possession of those charged on the 22nd February. But I'm not sure that it matters all that much...

That's true. But you can arrest someone on suspicion without having to prove anything. That would be my guess. The police will have asked CPS the question. As in, we've got this couple, they're definitely iffy, we want to interview them under caution and search their home for evidence...

No. The would have been reasonable grounds for the suspicion of kidnapping.

No it doesn't. You need to 'take and carry away' for kidnapping. False imprisonment is something different; you only need to show deprivation of 'freedom of movement'.

No. From the 27 Feb; Police are keeping tight-lipped over what happened leading up to Becky going missing. “We know Rebecca was at home that morning. We believe she went out during the late morning and left the house and that really is the last sighting we have got of her,” he said...

Yesterday's (that's 7th March) Bristol Post reports that; Parts of her body were discovered last Monday evening after 11 days of police and public searches http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Becky-Watts-Family-say-laid-rest-loving-perfect/story-26134409-detail/story.html and under the...

Fair enough. Clearly, A&SC must have had some grounds for believing that RW had not left the property of her own free will. Their search of the property may well have revealed some forensic traces that provided said grounds, or it might have been something else. It's possible that the...
