UK UK - Khasha Smith, 35, Edinburgh, 4 November 2023

[Gers76]

Back in January I read a comment on a FB Edinburgh news page which made me raise an eyebrow, but I never done anything about it at the time. Yesterday after the latest appeal and them setting up the portal I went back to look for the message and it was still there. I screenshot the message and sent it using the portal and you have to give all your details etc.

I sent this message around 4pm yesterday and at 11 this morning I had a knock on the door from 2 detectives from the major crime incident team I was a bit shocked.

Anyway I didn’t know the person who wrote the message or who she mentioned in the message and the police said they hadn’t either. They said they were very very thankful for sending the screen shot in and would now be investigating this.

They did also say the family had received lots of nasty comments about the whole not reporting it for 2 months, but the police did say it was reported well before that and they were enquiring behind the scenes before the official announcement at the beginning of January.

Good to see the police acted on your info quickly, hopefully things are moving behind the scenes.

I think you may have mentioned having seen something at the time. When I tried to find it, I wasn't able to.
Well done. It could be THE piece they need to solve or get in the right direction.

Hope you can open this, gives a little background I think.

Certainly seems a bit dodgy the reports of males with knifes and domestic disturbance etc

The guy mentioned in the post (his initials are BH) appears to have several Facebook accounts. I had a quick flick through one of them, and noticed that Khasha had replied to a post he had made. This was back in 2019, and it doesn't necessarily mean that BH and KS are / were known to one another.

Totally but I thought it needed reporting. Like I’ve said I don’t know the person who posted the comment or the male whom she mentioned. I did notice that Khasha and him are friends on one of his profiles but other than that I will leave it up to the police to do any checks

I agree with all of this.

 

[Sall2021]

Just bumping this for Khasha. It all seems to have gone quiet again after the appeal from her Mum & daughter.

 

[Doughy]

I'm assuming the police know/suspect more than what's being released to the public. Very sad for Khasha's loved ones.

Looks like Police Scotland have removed Operation Hokitika from the Major Incident Public Portal Public Portal › operation Hokitika

Is that a good thing?
