Deceased/Not Found UK - April Jones, 5, Machynlleth, Wales, 1 Oct 2012 #5 *M. Bridger guilty*

[PADDYWHACK]

I think a few people here believe he didn't act alone, if indeed he did do anything, but the strongest idea being put forward is kidnapping for financial gain. That takes us back to what I said earlier, motive, opportunity, and alibi.

 

[Clutchbag]

Who here has accused him of being a paedophile?

And if all those points describe hundreds of thousands, I'm glad I don't know any of them.

Such a crime isnt it going from job to job (at least he kept working) and liking a drink and not staying with a partner for the rest of your life

Ive temped alot in my life and I went from job to job, I like a couple glasses of wine after my dinner every night, I also have had two marriages, and a couple relationships inbetween, Im not a bad person or a murderer I assure you, the point being his character is being assassinated based on zero

His sister's boyfriend is jealous? Give me a break. And MB has hardly been 'lucky with the ladies', he may have had a lot of girlfriends, but look where he was a few weeks ago. It's more sad than to be envied.


THE April Jones murder suspect is the son of a former royal protection officer who guarded the Queen Mother.

Mark Bridger’s father Graham, 71, spent nearly 30 years in the Met Police.

Maurice Hartigan — the boyfriend of Bridger’s sister Karen, 48 — said: “His old man was a serving copper.

“He used to escort the Queen Mum around.”

Mr Hartigan, 70, claimed Bridger was a fantasist.

He said: “Mark told me he was in Special Forces and was in Iraq and Afghanistan but he’s never been in the Army.”

Bridger, 46, grew up in Croydon, South London.

But Graham and mum Pamela, 69, later moved to East Sussex.

After Bridger went to Wales, they rarely saw him

I don't believe any of that, his sister would be able to disprove it instantly making him look a mug.

 

[Clutchbag]

Disrespectful yes, but we have no proof he has ever done, or said such a thing. I've always found that men who are lucky with the ladies have a jealous male following.

ah good point

Give you a break? How can you possibly know that it is not true, or what his motivation is?

Yes, to many of us MB's circumstances could be seen as sad but to others it could be seen entirely differently. A number of middle-aged men would love to be on their own and doing what they want, when they want with no one to answer to...and possibly building up a nice collection of empties, too!

And by the way...it seems from what you posted that the sister's boyf is 70 years of age. That in itself makes me question his motivation in judging a man at least 25 years his junior. Different generation for one and envy could be another. There could be all sorts of family issues to generate that comment...and who knows, maybe this man is the reason MB is estranged from his family. The point is WE DON"T KNOW and therefore I will not judge MB based on anything other than the facts!

what 48 yr old goes out with a 70 yr old, odd

He apparently arrived in Wales around '89 claiming to be ex-Army (invalided out due to bad back). The bad back may have been true.

MB's last gf, VF, is 25 years old, he is 47 next month.

the jones's judging from where they live and the house they have are no millionaires so i dont get this ransom theory, what would it be? Give us a thousand quid?
People dont kidnap children for tiny ransoms, theyd bebetter off burgling a few houses

But who (or how) do you suppose he thought had money enough to ransom?
Surely if he was Kidnapping for money he'd have been a bit more careful in his planning.....nothing points to any pre-meditation here in my humble opinion???

When you both decide which facts you want to base your opinion on, maybe you can let us know.

Thats alright, 47 isnt a pensioner, scales

 

[LegallyBrunette]

Thats alright, 47 isnt a pensioner, scales

It's a 22 year age difference, same as sister and her partner - except that a 48 year old woman should be a lot more mature than a 25 year old.

VF is only 4 years older than his son.

And if MB was unemployed, then he is a pensioner.

52k but 4 years ago, not a ransom source though, just stumbled across this

Oh dont be so silly a virile 46 yr old with a younger woman (surely your not calling him a paedo)is not the same as a decrepit pensioner with a woman in her sexual prime, but never mind, fact is the former is more normal and common than the latter, eta having said thatnot making judgement just thought it odd

And no, being unemployed does not mean u are a pensioner, LOL at that, ha thanks for the laugh

A good amount of money, but I was thinking along different lines - not that family would be asked for the ransom.

 

[Cherwell]

The bit that doesn't make sense is if that is true....why hasn't he confessed or told them where April is??
And the perverting charge....doesn't sound like he's been co-operative???

he either didnt do it or if he did isnt telling if he thinks they have no evidence or his lawyer has told him to say nothing either way

One other possibility is that he doesn't remember. If he was responsible for April's death even if (or especially) it was unintentional, his mind may have blanked it out. He might have drunk himself into a stupor.

 

[veggiefan]

because this is suspected murder police do charge because of the seriousness of the offence and to protect the public, get an arrest under pressure, or simply because they have strong convictions they have the right person, rightly or wrongly, without having solid evidence

In the UK, and for some years now, the decision to charge has been the responsibility of the Crown Prosecution Service, not the police.

The police put their evidence to the CPS and it is the CPS that decides whether or not the evidence is likely to stand up in court. In this case, they have decided it is.

Dole is still a form of pension, if receiving the unemployment benefit.

There are very fit 70 year olds, and others in their 40's who are stuffed.

Possible I guess but I think however drunk you can get something so severe as murder would surface in memory, perhaps not the location though of where one put the body

eta sorry i jist realised thats what you were saying
