I've just been reading today about the Lucy McHugh murder, poor girl - and remember at the time they held him on other offences (related to him refusing to give them his fb password) immediately after his arrest as they obviously had nothing at that time to charge him with her murder.
What i didn't realise however, was that it took them almost 4 months to charge him with murder - which came about after information from analysing his phone led them to his bloodstained jumper an stuff that linked him to the crime.
So basically my point is that it was only around 4 months ago that poor Libbys body was found, and obviously a little longer that she was missing for but I always presumed they woupd be able to get access to an analyse phone info really quickly but that clearly isn't the case as is proven in Lucys case.
I do also think tho that they are staying quiet recently on PRs upcoming case and anything about Libby as i think they want this coming trial to go as smoothly as possible and when he gets found guilty as a sex offender it has surely got to contribute towards any case of circumstantial evidence the police may want to re-present to
CPS.
All just MOO
