They're giving him some massive benefit of the doubt there.

They're giving him some massive benefit of the doubt there.

Think he was extremely lucky, IMO.

Sentencing, judge Alan Conrad QC told the defendant: 'The state of Mr Chauhan's body is a direct result of you having concealed his death and hidden the body, which made it impossible for experts to obtain the results which they usually can in the case of a suspicious death.

'Toxicology vital to this case was frustrated. This has added greatly to the grief of his family.

'They will never know exactly how and in what circumstances Hiran Chauhan, whom they loved so much, actually died.'

Basically, the court had to believe and go with the evidence the defendant was in agreement with, he doesn’t know how lucky he is to have only got six years! Mind you, who knows, could have been the truth, I feel for the family greatly, has echos of Stephen Port about it.

On the morning of July 9, a woman came across two 14-year-old schoolboys who had gathered around a 'package' covered in plastic which they said was 'full of flies'. She called the police. She also noticed Cuckson, who was stood with his Tesco jacket on looking at it, as were others. She said that the man didn't look shocked, and found it strange that he didn't interact with any of the other onlookers.

That night, at about 9.45pm, police became aware of a man acting suspiciously, who turned out to be Cuckson. He appeared to hesitate when he saw police, and changed the direction in which he had been walking. He was also wearing the same distinctive clothing which he had been seen in on CCTV previously.

So if he hadn't been hanging around Hiran's body, and hadn't acted dodgy around police, would he have got away with it?

Also, do we know HOW he got the body from A to B? Didn't use the car, didn't use the wheelbarrow.

Cuckson dragged the body, wrapped in plastic sheeting, across the road from his flat in Eccles Old Road to nearby woodland.

Another thing, I know Suzuki Swifts are on the small size, but surely they're big enough for a body?

Thanks, LB. I got misled by this map which seemed to show the body was moved right to the other side of the park (I thought the yellow line was the route)
