Could you explain please?
SH has been dating the grandmother for years apparently. You think he's being protected to spy on the grandmother for the Police?
Could you explain please?
I don't think the police would allow her to walk free if they suspected anything at all of her involvement.
They haven't. That's why she's on bail not just "released". She will have restrictions imposed on her movements and have to report to the police station at intervals. The could not keep her in for longer than a few days without charging her (the exception is terrorist suspects) and they must let her leave custody until they have enough evidence to charge her.

If they had enough to get SH and she was obviously involved even in a Maxine Carr-esque fashion she'd have been charged off the bat though, surely.
ETA Saying that though when did they charge Maxine Carr??

#TiaSharp More details about Tia's death...there were bruises to her body. One possible cause of death - not yet established - smothering"
Originally I thought that. Getting stuff into lofts is so much easier with two people although the more I think about it the more I think he could do alone. I remember one case where a police officer found a body in a cupboard and was amazed at how little space it took up. I think SH put Tia into a black holder and then was able to get that into the loft on his own. I am beginning to suspect that there was no ladder at all in the house and all he had to do was stand on a chair probably putting the holdall round his neck when getting on the chair and the lift the holdall which would I am guessing be around 7ish stones in weight into the loft.
The thing is, Maxine Carr actually admitted lying. They didn't actually charge her until she had, if my memory serves me. An admission is evidence.
At no time have I suggested any such thing. Don't know how you could possibly construe what I wrote to even imply any such thing

Wasn't it you that said you believe he is being protected as he is a police informer? If not, I apologise.....
If he put her in a holdall or similar, then tied rope through the handles of the hold-all, he could then climb into the loft (leaving the hold-all on the floor) and from above, he could possibly pull the hold-all up (using the rope) and maneuvre it through the trap door from above
It seems that there are 3 possible scenarios:
1. Tia died when she was alone with SH Thurs evening/ Friday morning
2. Tia died when G'ma came home on Friday afternoon
3. Tia died after the alarm was raised that she was missing
If it was 1 - then it seems that SH had help from G'ma as she has appeared to cover SH's lies (maybe through dysfunction and/ or shock and panic)
If it was 2 or 3 - then Tia's untimely death may involve both SH and G'ma, or they are both aware with one covering for the other
None of the 3 possible scenarios rule out that G'ma had knowledge of the crime and going along with the 'missing' story and therefore as it seems she did now something would be the most likely person to have helped put Tia's body in the loft.
Unless, of course, G'ma did tell the police of her concerns early on and was advised to go along with the story in order to 'trap' SH, which could be another explanation for her sour expression.
There are so many possibles and the truth may be made up of one, some or none of them.
I speculated (controversially I suggested at the time, which appears to be an accurate prediction) that he may be a police informant
By informant, as 'Destroyer' clarified soon afterwards, I meant a 'grass' generally. Many ex-cons turn to informing to retain their liberty. Police need and do use informants. Informants provide valuable information and some informants are considered by some officers to be more than generally valuable and as such they're regarded as 'assets' who provide police leads and other often crucial information
Some informants specialise, i.e., some may be the police's eyes and ears on the ground re: drug supplies coming into the country. Some informants sell any information they have in return for cash, drugs, or so police will just take it easy on them and turn a blind eye
So by speculating he may be a police informant, that is what I meant, not that he was an informant on CS
Indeed it is possible but I suspect a little well thought out for him. He seems more of a stand on a chair and use brute force kinda guy to me but that's just my opinion.

Sky News reporter says on TV that it's "UNUSUAL" to stop a post mortem. So back to my earlier question......what is there to be gained form pausing it. You just get more decomposition surely? Is it possible that it has been completed, but the results are not being made public. If so, why?
I don't understand this either. It's also strange that they haven't yet confirmed her identity. Who else can it be? Even if they needed to do DNA analysis to confirm her identity, it shouldn't stop the PM going ahead.
I would have expected the prosecution PM to complete, then if necessary a defence PM to be done.
But to stop part way through the first PM is odd.
