five year old missing!!

[R_x]

Yeah I think it's just been deleted

 

[EmmyReece]

So glad it's been deleted

I don't want the family to have false hope or anything like that, but until they have concrete evidence that she is gone then they should be able to keep what little hope they have alive x

 

[Emma&Freya]

Theres more groups saying R.I.P

 

[admiral765]

Sorry to mention this again but I'm so upset. Can anyone answer why the police would have said that they have sufficient evidence to charge him with the murder if that isn't the case? Apologies I don't want to give up hope xx

 

[EmmyReece]

there's loads of them

people just jump on the bandwagon, and again, I think it's just so they can have a page with lots of likes on it

They had to charge him with something otherwise they would have to realese him- which could cause all sorts.

If he hasn't done it then they won;t find any forensic evidence- no forensic evidence, no case in court and he will walk free.

Lets hope they haven't got it wrong this time...otherwise someone will be sitting on a nice fat compensation cheque.

Spoiler

They could have found something in his house, like a weapon or her clothes or something like that hun Or even bodily fluids in his car

 

[admiral765]

So surely they can't charge him with murder unless as they say, they have sufficient evidence which I'm so sorry again, could only mean........ Can't say it xx

I'm afraid they must have something substantial.
I.e something in his house, DNA, her clothes? We don't know and won't know until hes gone on trial. But to charge him with murder then they will have evidence

 

[EmmyReece]

That's the impression that I get, but I know nothing about stuff like this (I probably seem really naive), maybe one of the others can clarify?

No hun, but unfortunately it's all speculation as to what evidence they have on him as revealing it could affect his trial. The police and CPS are basically confirming that little April is not alive anymore, but this does not mean we can't hold out hope for a miracle and hope they got it wrong

Yes they still say they are looking for her body but they have found something enough to think he murdered her otherwise it would be an abduction charge.

It's not good news at all, and they wouldn't do it unless they were sure

Not necessarily- its up to a judge in court to decide whether or not there is a case and he will be found guilty- they could of found something like something with blood on it, or her DNA in the car or whatever- if a judge thinks its enough to prove he murdered her then he will go down- if not then he will walk free. It isn't ultimately up to the police if someone is "guilty". He will more than likely remain in police custody until a court date is set- I don't think he will be able to get bail. If they had found a body they would say i'm sure.

I don't want this to be true, but I just have this horrible feeling that they've found something at the house after erecting that sterile tent thing

No they wouldn't be able to charge him unless they had something. They can't bring a murder charge, or any other for that matter, just to keep someone in custody. They will have forensics already, there is no way they would have brought about a murder charge without anything. If they had nothing they would have just charged him with the abduction at the moment

I'm really sorry to say it girls, but there isn't a happy ending in sight here, April is gone and speculation about the police not having evidence, well it's just silly really. The CPS wouldn't have allowed it to get this far if they were not satisfied that the police had enough to take it to court

Just to add to that, of they we wrong there would be no compensation cheque, that guy would be lynched as soon as he walked free

 

[admiral765]

Thanx everyone I don't care if I'm being stupid but I will still keep holding on to that little glimmer of hope that April is ok. I don't think I can accept the worse outcome yet although the police statement seems to say it all xx

TMI WARNING -- CAN'T DO SPOILER




The thing is, even if they found blood, that does not have to mean she is no longer alive surely? The same with hair and clothes? What else could there be?

Makes me so scared as to what they actually did find that could REALLY point to that?

 

[EmmyReece]

Didn't one of the police men who've been doing the press conferences each day say that the forensics had all been rushed through?

It's not up to a judge to decide either, it will go before a jury

 

[Pensivedore]

Something I heard on the news last night was that he attend a parents evening at the school?

He's single and childless isn't he?
