The lower Thames is nothing at all like the bit of the Wyre that she went in.

That meets my definition of spot on in this context.

With all the searching for him he can't have been there 2 weeks, can he?

The timing of finding people in rivers was given some airing in the Nicola Bulley case - people with experience in these matters said it would be 3 weeks and she was found after 3 weeks 2 days. This guy was a day less than 3 weeks.
The cold water slows down decomposition and means they balloon up with gasses later than if in warmer water.
Which colder / warmer water?

I'm saying the timings are close enough the same, given that there's all sorts of variables.

Don't know if I can be gleeful about someone dying, even this censored, I think I would much rather he had faced up to his crimes and done the time and had an awful 20 year existence in some horrible Scrubs-type place

Could the Police be any more predictable? Absolutely hopeless. In a city covered in cameras they don’t know, really??
Hmmm ok,

Let’s think about it for a moment .. he’s seen going onto the bridge from the north bank .. he’s not seen leaving either by the north or south bank

Somewhere between the north and south banks of the Thames he disappeared

At some point probably around Wapping, in a couple of weeks, a body is likely to be discovered
Pretty much spot on
Er, well, Tower Pier is 1.2 miles from Wapping and it was nearly 3 weeks to find him, but not a bad guess.
Whaaaaat?

Guess 1:
He’s enlisted the support of an underground extremist network who managed to sweep him away from Southwark Bridge, feed him and send him to the facial reconstruction unit of that clinic that Jinx tried to blow up 22 years ago.

Guess 2:
He jumped in the Thames and will be washed up 2 miles downstream in 2 weeks.

Actual Result:
He jumped in the Thames and washed up 1 mile downstream 3 weeks later.

I’d say guess 2 is better than ‘not bad’!!

I was wrong about him getting away.

Oh well.
I did try to point out that him jumping into the Thames was far more likely than him organising a private jet to Rio where he would undergo reconstructive facial surgery and then live the rest of his life drinking cocktails on a beach…..

Good riddance, what an evil, misguided scumbag.
And there was me, along with a few others on PH and in the comments sections of tabloid newspaper websites, adamant that it was definitely not plausible that he did jump into the Thames after several hours bumbling around London but, rather, instead was:

- being hidden/protected by mate(s),
- being hidden/protected by 'his community',
- being hidden/protected inside a mosque,
- already out of the country having smuggled his way onto a lorry he knew was destined to cross the channel (the 23:34 Eddie Stobart to Bulgaria departing from Chelsea Bridge) or having bamboozled passport control as an asylum seeker with all his biometrics in their system AND half his face missing,
- part of a tactical ploy by the powers that be to deflect attention away from other political issues...

You've got to hand it to these armchair detectives.

They really know what they're talking about and put the experience of members of Metropolitan Police staff to shame.

Deafening silence...

It could still be part of a tactical ploy by the powers that be to deflect attention away from other political issues. You can not ignore the possibility that it could be a sort of decoy mission
The goverrnment could easily have contacted the met and said your case is dragging out we need diversionary news so we can find a body roughly same size you can dump it then find it and say its the acid chap.
It's just the sort of outragously incredible idea that someone in government could come up with. I won't name names but I believe that Grant Shapps's favourite film is Operation Mincemeat

Shame.

I don't know if it's likely to be much comfort to his alleged victims but hopefully at least that bit of certainty there that he won't be waiting around a corner in the future may help a little.

Let's hope he gets the burial he deserves. Chucked back into the Thames.

We can only hope that his intention was to flee somewhere and live the high life as whatever vile sort of hero he thought he was, but instead unintentionally completely ruined his own life by burning himself and ended up desperate and dying in agony and panic in the river. Seems a fitting end to the story.

There have been a spate of attacks lately. I wonder what the motive for this attack was? Gang wars?

Being 'from Newcastle' as we were constantly reminded in the media it needs to be a full Geordie burial no less, toon scarf, stottie cake sarnis at the wake and local hero played at the committal.

There’s probably a low level of it all the time but the media are just picking up on it.

It’s like dog attacks; I’m sure they happen all the time too but you only hear about them for a while after some heinous incident or currently when a breed is supposed to have been banned.

Not to mention sensationalism meaning clicks, and clicks meaning revenue.

It just needs to be the hot trending topic of the day.

There's rarely a genuine journalistic interest in said subject matter when you scratch beneath the surface of something being excessively reported on.

E.g. viral social media personality (last year it was Mizzy), Palestine/Israel, the cozzie livs, Prince Harry, woke something or other, immigration, LGBT topics, Sadiq Khan, dog attacks (harking back to circa 2014 when fox attacks were the hot topic of the gutter press), eco protests, Brexit/EU legacy, Labour/Tory posturing, council jobsworths, acid attacks, Ulez, utility and fuel prices, conscription and World War 3...

They had to do all of this whilst be thwarted by the deep state blob / left wing wokerati / rainbow+ civil cervants!

Proof that the conservatives can still deliver.
