what is the reason his face is all over the media but nothing on the Gareeca?

They can't find any social media for her?

 

[Sarahlou]

They can't find any social media for her?

Yes, it's the press that find the photos, so they must be having trouble finding any.

 

[astheworldfallsdown]

If she was in a refuge she may have deleted any social media at the time she moved in there. JMO

Is there any information on how the man and woman who have been charged are connected yet? I can’t seem to find any. How does a seemingly happily married man end up helping a woman dispose of a body, it’s very strange.
I also don’t understand how no one noticed the smell of a body or the female offender acting suspicious after victim went missing, if they lived in the same hostel.
So many questions about this case.

Yes that's what's puzzling how on earth are they connected

 

[Mind your biscuits]

No one heard the circular saw? This is such a strange case. Moo.

Sawed-up torso found stuffed in suitcase ‘was woman in her 20s who vanished from women’s refuge’
“There are seven bedrooms but only four were occupied. The remaining women have been moved out.”
GRISLY DISCOVERY
Another neighbour added: "There was a white British woman living in the front bedroom on the first floor but I haven't seen her in weeks.

"Definitely not in the last month.

"I saw Gareeca - she would keep her bike locked up outside the house. She was a mixed race Caribbean woman. She wasn't fat, she wore glasses - just normal sized. She lived on the first floor as well."

 

[Ellmau]

Maybe they're bedsit or apartment type rooms there? How would no one have noticed blood or the smell?

It sounds like a fairly chaotic environment. Maybe some loud music to muffle the noise?

Just catching up on this thread. What a terrible case. Awful to think of someone thinking they are safe in a refuge, and then maybe getting killed by one of the other women. So shocking, before you even begin thinking about the details of what they did to the body.

Re. how the 2 perps got involved, the only thing that immediately strikes me is people who have a nice-ish house and a new-ish range rover (ie him) might be the kind of people who live at the extreme ends of their means. Covid has shut down alot of businesses, making alot of people under extreme financial duress. If the guy got offered alot of money to do something bad, maybe he made a really bad decision.

The erratic driving really stood out to me.
1. sawing up a body like that suggests severe levels of psycopath, doesn't it?
2. then managing to wait several weeks to dispose of a body, suggest planning and calculation, a determination not to get caught + idea to dispose of body in woods etc
3. then after all that... you get caught because of dodgy driving???

I dunno. To me that suggests the driver came on board later than the murderer. But that's just wild speculation.

Torso crimes are, by and large, personal; one generally doesn't hire out to dismember a human. (The term "torso," incidentally, refers only to humans -- or to representative sculpture. Animals have, not torsos, but trunks.)

I think animals also have torsos. What is the middle part of an elephant called? lol. Moo.

I won't die on this hill, certainly, but the torso by definition is the trunk of the human body. Other usages may occur but are, at best, misguided.

Looking forward to this. True crime is a welcome escape from covid. Sorry to sound callous, but the mind does require a workout during these times of isolation.

Where would someone living in one room of a refuge get their hands on a circular saw during lockdown?

Order it online? Have someone bring it to you? That is odd though, like the rest of this case!

Maybe a friendly taxi driver delivered it.
