I saw this case back in the news this morning as the police are offering a reward. I am hopeful that new information has prompted this, although none is mentioned in the press coverage.

I’ve not seen any reporting from The Trial podcast or BBC In Court whereas they covered in a lot of detail last time around.

I just saw this on the Warwickshire police Facebook page and came straight here to see whether there was a discussion. I know we can’t discuss the comments on the police’s post, but they are interesting.

I am so frustrated that MG didn’t give evidence. It feels like we barely know him when we heard so much from CM, so a big part of the jigsaw is missing.

That is how I interpreted it. MG keeping quiet means the spotlight is firmly on CM and IMO Femiola is trying to ensure nobody thinks MG was pulling the strings here. MOO

I don’t think it has to be one or the other. CM’s family and the trustees may well have made life very difficult for her, alongside her own unquestioningly poor decisions. A pattern of unhealthy relationships (the cult and a 10 year relationship with a registered sex offender) would usually have...

I have just caught up with the last few days in court, the balanced and informative posts on here, the press coverage and the podcasts. CM’s family dynamic is really interesting. Quite where the line between CM’s paranoia and her family’s controlling or sinister behaviour lies I don’t know...

I have just caught up on The Trial and In Court and have some thoughts. Firstly, MG refusing to confirm where Victoria was born. I wonder why? Is it crucial to their timeline in some way or does he simply not know what version CM had given at this stage and so is saying nothing? Secondly, his...

The more I hear the sadder I become. The whole case is just terrible, the completely avoidable death of a tiny baby and the likely suffering of the older children in the past. The sense I get is of mental illness and spiralling chaos rather than calculated cruelty. The end results are no less...

I would expect that CAFCASS were involved in the custody case as a minimum. As others have said, it’s very unusual for a custody case to result in full custody with the father and what seems like no court ordered contact with the mother But it sounds as if they should have been protecting her...

My earlier post crossed over with the latest revelations. I’m also now thinking she was alive when they left. I feel sick, this is horrific.

What I am really struggling to understand (apart from the very obvious point about a 10 year being killed in their own home), is why the family didn’t conceal or dispose of her body away from the house. It wouldn’t be impossible to effectively dispose of a child’s body, particularly one that...

Fresh charges in this case.

The reality is that it’s almost impossible to prove a negative. There could be a hundred unlikely ways that they could have known each other, although I would imagine the police have investigated and ruled out so many of them that they have felt it safe to say that they weren’t known to each...

I’ve been thinking the same. It is a long way to drive with a kidnapped woman in the car. The streets were well lit, he would have had to stop at traffic lights and you’d expect her to try to attract attention or try to escape if not restrained or immobilised in some way. IMO.
