Well that's one way of describing it, but you've got who stalked who around a forum the wrong way around.

Liaise with each other, book a room, get it out of your system.

Come back and be sensible.

Lying to the police under caution counts as 'perverting the course of justice' though, so if he said anything while being questioned that turned out to be deliberately false, that'd be perversion. Nothing more complex than that.

BBC news channel were reporting it today as relating to disposal of the body, rather than lying under caution. No idea if it's true or not.

"Liaise with" may get you around the profanity filters, but you may as well just have said "shag"

So, turns out Bridger is kind of related to April Jones. In a throughly chavvy underclass modern way.

He has today pled "Not Guilty" to her abduction and murder, but his lawyer says he is "probably responsible for her death.

Interesting.

Interesting.
I reckon he will have a really st story lined up. "Oh, I took her fishing and she fell in and drowned" blah blah blah.

[TobyLaRohne]

Without a body or witnesses how can they find him guilty? Isn't it supposed to be beyond reasonable doubt?

Given what his lawyer has said it sounds like there is going to be an interesting set of defence information.

After seeing the plea, this is what I think too. Up to the Police now to prove otherwise, so I really hope some truth can be found.

Pure guess, but assuming it wasn't normal for him to pick her up off the street and take her somewhere, combined with her ending up dead, I would suggest that no matter what story he makes up there is little doubt there.

It's quite rare, but not impossible.

Shame he isn't a doctor on holiday with a bunch of mates.

Murder isn't the only type of homicide...

Machynlleth has a population of a couple of thousand people and is located in a fairly sparsely populated rural area - I should think everybody is kind of related to some extent.

You don't need a body for a murder conviction, just enough circumstantial evidence to piece together. This was the case with a recent trial in Edinburgh (Suzanne Pilley went missing in city centre and the body has never been recovered. I went to the trial due to part of my job and it was very interesting).

The other recent case was the murder of Arlene Fraser were her husband Nat Fraser was recently convicted and the body has never found.

I'm not well read on this but he could say he dropped her off somewhere and didnt see her after or even deny picking her up in the first place if the only witnesses are kids who gave conflicting statements

well you learn something every day. Thanks for clearing that up for me

[oobster]

I hope he is found guilty of murder, I can only assume he hasn't given up the location of the body because he is afraid post mortem results would show up non-accidental death.

Im just assuming that if his Lawyer acknowledged he was probably responsible for the death, then its unlikely there will be outright denial

[ofcorsa]

Scratch that, just seen he is responsible for her death but not murder. Sounds like semantics. String him up
