Surely the bloke would know about the CCTV cameras, especially if he was a copper…I reckon there is more to this than meets the eye…
Ahh but Muddy, he could have been a serial killer and it might have been someone else in the bag?
I wonder if because he is a police officer, did he think he could get away with the perfect murder? He’d know what the police would be looking for.
You’d think he would have known that vehicle, street and ANPR cameras could track him down.
Sorry Foxy, we must have been typing together as l seem to have repeated what you just said!
Its dreadful isnt it but I’ve a strong feeling there is more too and it will come out .
It’s a very frightening world now . A policeman is someone I would turn to for help and safety i dont know what to think anymore sometimes i feel it’s not my world anymore .
It’s obvious from a few posts in here that some are getting the wrong end of the stick about this man . He wasn’t your regulator PC . He guarded buildings and people .
As for SE not being in the wrong place …sigh …of course she was …it doesn’t matter that she made it through the park in the dark ,it was her choice to think a 50 minute walk home in the dark was safe . Should she have been out visiting during lockdown ? That’s not a criticism nor an inference ,it’s a question . People in some parts of the country seem not to be following the rules is what I’m observing .
Perhaps WC pulled up alongside her to ask what she was doing out and offered her a lift ? So in that respect she was indeed in the wrong place at the wrong time …the very time he happened to be on that road .
I understand what you’re saying ,Zuelika…thanks for throwing more light onto it.
Even when, as it is on occasions, it is?
He had only been in the force in recent years. For twenty years before that he was a mechanic in his family’s garage business.
He was originally part of a group that guards nuclear sites. I have never heard of this but they are an armed unit. It’s an interesting history.
All the accounts of him point to a normal regular guy who was happily married and was respected in his job. Something must have gone badly wrong in recent months.
Indeed Annie Wayne Couzens, 48, worked for an elite Westminster-based unit which protects diplomats, VIPs and high-profile buildings in the capital and why are some not understanding the following explanation ?
Instead , prefer to insinuate another member is victim blaming
" Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
is
in a situation where something bad happens to you because you are unlucky, not because you do anything wrong:"
Google it if you dont believe it !!!
For me the most relevant detail about his job is that he was licensed to carry firearms. So he may have threatened her with a gun if she didn’t get into the car.
I don’t care if he was a member of the elite bottom washers unit he was still in a dept of the Metropolitan Police and someone who protects people not murders them .
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time he should have been on his way home to his wife and children but no he decided to abduct and murder a passing young woman .
Whenever a murderer is unmasked there is always someone who says he was a nice guy . I did an evening class once and one of my fellow students was a regular quiet man .
Then he stopped coming and in a few days we knew why . He had murdered his wife and in pretty dreadful circumstances and absconded with his child to another country .
Not always. They rarely say a murderer was like this guy. Quite often they say he is a loner, nobody knew him. That he was quiet and respectable but… This guy wasn’t quiet or a loner. He was sociable and he and his wife were seen as friendly and outgoing. A bit of a lad, but calm in a crisis. That is you have to admit an unusual type for pre-meditated murder. So I will be interested to see the trial evidence presented when it eventually gets going. I’m amazed he went from being a car mechanic to working in an elite gun carrying unit. But one thing is clear. He would have known he would get caught. So why do it? Was he framed or have an accomplice or get involved with something sinister? They still have to establish a cause of death. You have to wonder what happened to the body to make it so difficult.
They said Ted Bundy was handsome and charismatic .
Traits he used to lure young women to their deaths.
Why do you think this was a premeditated murder ?
It could be an opportunistic murder he saw the young woman and took a chance .
We don’t know that he was in uniform nor that those authorised to carry weapons are allowed to take them home ?
Last paragraph , pure conjecture on your part .
A chance on what ? Do you really think married man with children would take “ a chance” to murder ?
Something preceded SE ‘s death imo.
Was he also apparently happily married with kids?
I’m wondering if its premeditated because they cannot find the cause of death.
