I if were in charge of the world, if you answered no comment at interview then the 24 hours custody limit would simply extend endlessly until you decided to actually talk.
Whilst its very frustrating for the Police, I have no problem with it at all.It goes back to some core values of right to silence and innocent until proved guilty.
The state, i.e the police, say you've done something wrong, which can lead to life changing consequences, under our current laws the weight falls on the state to prove what they accuse you of, you are under no obligation to help them do it.

The amount of time the "no comment" scenarios take up must drive the police insane. Having said that, I've never yet seen an interview in the series where I've thought "that was a clever question" or there was subtle changes of tone to glean some info out.
Maybe I have no heart, but I had zero sympathy for the 'victim', (and even less than zero sympathy when it was revealed he'd be involved in exactly the same crime himself!!!).
I was shocked to see the DI even shed a wee tear for him. WTF?
Then there was the statement by the 'the victims' family member at the end of the programme - I wonder if his view might have been different if another of his family members had been on the receiving end of the same crime Saul had perpetrated?
When you saw the state of her when she was being arrested, you wonder how she managed to Honeytrap anyone...

I looked away for a bit and then saw the lady in the red top being arrested.
Is she the same person who was doing the internet dating and propped the door open?

You say " to be undertaking that kind of venture and not even demonstrating the most basic attempt to conceal your identity is incredibly stupid,"
one had his hood up, mask on and looked down as he passed the camera, then they went and cleaned the car. Even the police woman said they must be forensically aware as they used their shoulders to open the door, not their hands.
Everybody knows not to leave fingerprints etc, I actually chuckled a bit when she said that. Only a moron, or someone off their tits would wear a rare item of clothing during a premeditated crime. one had his hood up, mask on and looked down as he passed the camera, then they went and cleaned the car.

I was thinking the same. I’d have worn rubber gloves and a Screwfix boiler suit of which millions have been sold then burnt it afterwards and I’m not even a criminal.Mezzanine said:
I was thinking about that watching last nights episode.
They said they only sold 69 coats between whatever years it was on sale.
Would a responsible manufacturer hold a single item of each product line sold in the past X number of years for reasons such as this? Or just pure luck they found one hanging around the warehouse?
Interesting either way and certainly goes to show he should have shopped at Tesco for his murder clothing rather than Moncler!
Yeah, the manufacturer can source the jacket if the said jacket can be used to solve the case. It is a seasonal item with a distinctive design.They said they only sold 69 coats between whatever years it was on sale.

No I hadn't missed that point at all, they had planned way in advance to drug and rob the guy at knifepoint. All four of them. Whilst the girls may not have expected the guys to arrive tooled up (doubtful, they weren't going to rob him with colourful language were they?), to be undertaking that kind of venture and not even demonstrating the most basic attempt to conceal your identity is incredibly stupid, but you're right they probably (wrongly) assumed as he was out of jail that he wouldn't report it for whatever reasons.
The guys clearly arrived with the intention of causing serious harm. If you turn up somewhere with a knife drawn, you're not coming for a chat. They were perhaps more worried about the guy recognising them than the police investigating which was the point of my comment.
I agree that had it just been a robbery the police wouldn't have undertaken such a thorough investigation. Certainly wouldn't be expensing a Moncleur coat!
Was it established that they brought the knife with them? That wasn't one already in the bedsit/flat?The guys clearly arrived with the intention of causing serious harm.

I was 80/20 siding 20% sympathy, only because he was trying to go straight and working. I was shocked to see the DI even shed a wee tear for him. WTF?

It's amazing how much social media can build an image of someone because that's all they had to identify what this guy was like and a CCTV film of him dying.
Caught up on the Part 2 tonight, what a couple of numbskull idiots these blokes were with the car tracked (surely they signed a waiver for this?), petrol station cleaning, trouble is we have hundreds of people walking around doing this and moving onto bigger crimes.

But related to that, they took a lot of precautions if it was just meant to be another robbery, hiding faces, burner phone only etc, makes you wonder if the murderer guy really had a plan all along, maybe the others weren’t in on it. It seems a lot of precautions to take for a robbery where they thought the victim wouldn’t go to the police.

Burner phone is probably something the guy has anyway if he is involved in crime.I think switching the phone off perhaps isn't normal if the plan was a robbery all along.
Maybe there is more to the story than meets the eye
