Found Deceased UK - Sarah Everard, 33, London - Clapham Common area, 3 March 2021 *Arrests* #9

A lot of this stuff seems damning of the Met police / but I think you have to try and look at this without letting hindsight cloud your judgment.

They endured huge cuts in recent years, and it’s just not possible for them to attend to every reported incident. I would feel bad if those two officers are made scapegoats because they wouldn’t be behaving unusually, imo.

Hopefully one good thing that comes from this terrible situation is that IE may be recognised as a gateway crime and bumped up the list of priorities.

Totally agree with you. Hopefully the outcome of all the findings will be that more funding is needed to investigate crimes of this nature. There needs to be more of a deterrent because I believe that's why many perps escalate, they usually go unnoticed for lesser ( not for the victim) crimes and become more confident yo escalate.

There was another media report linked earlier about a similar previous attack on a woman at Clapham Common that was supposed to be referred to the Met. Perhaps that is what was being referred to by mentioning Clapham Common? JMO

Can you remember which report (appreciate there are lots!) as I'm local to the Common and would be very interested in following this aspect
Thank you

Has any more been said about these tunnels they're looking at in Dover? Saw a brief mention then nothing else.

It was reported being unrelated to the murder investigation (a Fire Service training exercise).

LIVE: Missing Sarah's body found

 

[ScaryMcClary]

Aren't they required to follow up on every complaint that is called in?

Yep- but this is what you get

ETA: The met clearly are massively underfunded and can’t be blamed for not following everything up, but I do also think there are huge systemic problems with the way they treat sexual crimes.

Twice? Thought it was just the once?

Yes I think the report said it was reported by two separate female employees which would count as twice, but I think he may have done this in short succession rather than hours apart MOO

The tunnels were a training exercise apparently. https://twitter.com/Kent_Online/status/1370368005167837186?s=20

They picked a bloody good time to do it!

Can anyone repost that pic of back garden?, maybe the big box thing wrapped in black bags could be something from there?

underfunded or not the evidence they had against him for the flashing meant it would have been a quick one to solve and it's about time they prioritized sexual offences , any sexual offence and stop discriminating against women. IMO the head of the Met will be resigning over this when it all comes out . JMO !

I'm surprised it went ahead, considering the police presence at the garage.

 

[Lilbitcurious]

Ground penetrating radar? Would be my guess

That’s what I thought, is there any excavation machinery on the site yet that any one knows of?

Yep- but this is what you get

In WC's flashing case they had a license plate number, so enough to identify him.

If you take 800,000 crimes reported a year and say you want 1 single officer to look at it for just one hour that is 22,000 people required full time doing nothing else. If you want 1 work day spent, you need 180,000 roughly. That's just investigating. Met has 33,000 officers across everything at present.

plus the CCTV and witness evidence, it was a slam dunk!

They were supposedly digging up his garden two days ago. Not sure about the equipment used.

That assumes that they have someone sitting ready and waiting to check the registration number the minute the report comes in and someone else to track him down straight away and resources to deal with him immediately after that.

I'm have no knowledge of the workings of the Met but that seems an unrealistic expectation. What would you downgrade to move indecent exposure up the rank? There's no simple solution or quick fix here

Thats why i'm a bit unsure about it..seems strange to me.
