They must have something fairly strong to call him back in before end of bail. Plus they only have 24 hours left for questioning by my calcs.

Using a dog again today at the home

It is understood the home she shared with Lacomba was being searched by police today - with a sniffer dog seen entering the property.

Much as I loathe the sc*m newspaper, this is a snippet I didnt know - the they is Sarah and Neil



But they reunited and planned to wed in Guildford with another ceremony in Majorca - where Sarah once lived with Mr Lacomba.

This is what her uncle Ronald said back in October -

Ronald said Sarah has an apartment abroad - understood to be Alicante - and used to run a bar in Spain with Nerf gun fanatic Ben.

Aside - I think he probably means Farnham not Farnborough in these quotes -

Ronald Wellgreen, 61, revealed he had been contacted by a man from Farnborough last week claiming to have been in a relationship with Sarah.

"I remember her telling me in June that she and this man in Farnborough weren't together anymore, but he seemed to think they were still in a relationship."

Oh but there is also this mention of Farnborough too, (same article) which is puzzling.

Martin Prus, manager of Puresun Health and Beauty Centre, said Neil James, from Farnborough, Hants...

 

[Tortoise]

Ignore me, I didn't realise Farnborough is so close to Farnham.

I thought they could extend it ? 36 hours, then 96 hours? Or does the fact it is a second arrest change things?

 

[Alyce]

From the same article - to me, this shows how much neighbours don't see - from all I have read about Sarah, she was always out and about, working.


One, who didn't want to be named, said: "I'm hoping for her children's sake that Sarah is still alive. She never really left the house much from what I could tell so this idea she's gone and started a new life is very unusual and I doubt that's the case.

I was thinking they've already had 72 hours , from when they arrested him in back in October.

But as this is a different charge - arrested on suspicion of murder - then perhaps the clock goes back to zero.

Wow - I thought they would have examined the car ages ago.... rather tardy of them.

I'm astonished - does seem way too late

The link is to a very long document.

I copied out this part, as it may be relevant. If it is correct for BLs situation, then it means the police only have 24 hours or so ( from this morning ) to question BL before either charge or release.


CTL = custody time limit


Adding and amending charges when a CTL applies
[Archbold 1-347]

As a general rule, when a new charge is laid a new CTL relating to that offence will begin.

A new CTL will not begin if the charge is merely amended, or if the new offence is a restatement of the old charge with different particulars. The new offence must be a different offence in law to attract a fresh CTL.
