GUILTY Australia - Jill Meagher, 29, Melbourne, 22 Sep 2012 #2

Doc, I don't bother with Twitter. I wait for you to sift through all the tweets and tell us what we need to know. Thanks for that!

 

[fruity]

wonder how they found him....someone has a good snitch/informer?

Only my opinion, but I think the rumours about the police having CCTV that shows him running after her, then a car doing a sudden u-turn must have shown a licence plate number.

 

[LauraT]

I hope he tells them where she is

 

[Sleuthilicious]

This breaks my heart.


Ms Meagher's borther Michael McKeon was overwhelmed with emotions when he heard the news, breaking down as he learned of the the development.

Maybe , or someone recognised the cctv footage of him and dobbed him in.

 

[WAG]

He could have been identified by a neighbour, landlord etc. sub judice and social media is a minefield. As a newbie, I am really impressed with how well this place is moderated.

Some of that footage was on Channel 10 tonight - outside the art gallery. Someone posted a link to it from here. It's very grainy but you can see it's him and they said pretty sure he's following her.

I gather a "police source" has said it's a "full-on homicide investigation", and that the arrested man is refusing to cooperate with police. That's the gist of several of the most recent tweets..... Sorry, can't link - Twitter is running on an iPad separate to this computer, and flying through so fast it would be impossible to link to just one anyway. The precis or gist is my paraphrasing only.

I gather it's The Age that is quoting the "police source"

Huge generalisation for the non-Aussies or non-Melbournians for context.

Brunswick is an inner-city hipster suburb.

The suspect that has been arrested is apparently from Coburg which is an "outer" suburb that is well known pockets of residents associated with welfare, drugs, etc ... Not everyone though - it is getting gentrified and has a solid base of immigrant European families from the 60's/70's

I would suspect (and time will tell) that BH is indeed the arrested man from Coburg.

Hey Im from Melbourne and i think that huge generalisation above is absolutely accurate (and informative for the sleuthers who arent from here) Towns next door but not much in common.

 

[Berry]

Doubt he rocked up to the police van on Sydney Rd today!

Oh yeah...agree, unless he was trying to buy an Ekka Dagwood Dog...and no I am not putting lol at the end.....bas^%*& opportunist he appears to be...again!!

 

[Master Rocket]

Removed comment as it is likely we will be notified formally later today someone has been charged.

My thoughts are with Jill's family, friends and colleagues.

Not 'sub judice' until he's charged and 'before a court/judge'. Then, the onus is on the prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, not on the defence to prove innocence.

To me all one could say about that art gallery footage by itself was he was walking several meters behind her on the same footpath in the same direction. Had he not been seen with her in later cctv footage no one would say he was following her.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Was the Art Gallery where she went earlier in the night for an event ?

 

[J-Diggety]

Homicide, refusal to co-operate and no charges continue to rule the twitterverse

 

[Makara]

I hope they are also talking to other possible accomplices if there are any as that may be the only way they can get one of them to cooperate. Police may have been interviewing BH for hours but he may refuse to cooperate.

Apparently he is refusing to cooperate Ali. With that attitude the Vic Police would be thinking. GUILTY!

MOO.

Haven't been to Melbourne for a long time and never went to Brunswick area but from photos etc it reminds me of Newtown in Sydney. Pockets of gentrification, v. expensive housing like old terraces well over million $, other areas that are still basically grotty. Big student population too because close to Sydney Uni and the city. Heaps of restaurants and bars.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

Read through what man in red jumper in video - Gregson, had to say -
I was on the corner for a Kebab and did not see her go past.

Crucial.

That is probably because she did not go past on foot.

You say she was in a car then, being abducted - maybe.

However I am interested in where the handbag was found... Down a narrow laneway, next to a car that had not moved...

Planted? why.

What I think is it fell, as something or someone was being moved, probably in the dark, past this car to somewhere else. It may not have been planted, it may have been an accident.

This may narrow it down to 10 or so buildings which face Sydney road and back onto the laneway where the handbag was found. Some of these buildings is where I would look for further clues.

Planted? I thought that was plain dumb at the time.

A possibility is Jill may have been forced/dragged into one of these buildings.
Putting someone into a car down a busy road could be challenging.
An arm out of the shadows dragging you into a building - plausible.

Welcome to WS, Master Rocket!

 

[truthseeker2011]

The art gallery footage seems to have been taken down. Anyone still have a functioning link?

 

[Midsummer]

I do wonder about the non-cooperating.......does it tend to suggest that she is more likely to be dead/alive (anyone who is experienced at analyzing crime?) or is it just BH playing mind games with police?
