No, not unusual HDM did it before with him, removing all links from FB. I am still wondering if something is coming in relation to LS.
Like I say...

Would that not apply to ALL media though, including nationals?Last time it happened it was because HDM had been instructed to take coverage down due to the speculation it was generating. I think we're looking at a media blackout here.
I’m guessing this is very likely - to affect further trials...Hi everyone, I am sure reporters are there and just can’t report for legal reasons. Psych reports are part of medical record for example and judges may instruct that they are not reported.
Indeed. Though that hasn't stopped them in the past.Quite possibly there really is just nothing worth reporting yet.
They normally disable comments optionIm inclined to agree that HullLive removing links from their FB page is most likely to be because the good people of Hull just sometimes 'dont know when to keep their gobs shut' lol and they simply cannot control the comments.
It would depend where it was held? Possibly heard elsewhere? Leeds or York to maintain integrity?If PR ends up being tried for LS's homicide, there's the risk that jury members would know of his recent previous convictions. That's worrying in terms of him getting a fair trial isn't it?
I don’t think you can always remove previous comments though, so removing the post is easier.They normally disable comments option
True, but given that it's all over the internet (the crimes he's guilty of) I just can't see how there could be any hope of suppressing his criminal history. I know jury members are not allowed to google the defendant on trial, but what happens if they've already read about him, I wonder.It would depend where it was held? Possibly heard elsewhere?

Maybe victim impact statements?
