Someone on the radio said it could be a priest or a policeman. One policeman phoned up and took exception to this. This guy who was arrested was a special constable once. Makes you think doesn't it.

I just hope they have the right man and do not feel 'the need' to rig the evidence to get someone to satisfy the needs of our wonderful responsible 'free' press.

He had already been questioned 4 times about them, perhaps the police got some additional evidence, he was obviously high on their list of suspects.

He sounds like a nutter to me , sounds like he is after the fame, Police didnt know about him until they saw his article in the paper , if he is the killer how silly was that for him .
Lets hope the killer is found whoever he may be
Police say he was not interviewed by htem prior to today despite Stephens saying so in the press !!

Hopefully it is him and he gets the punishment that suits the crime, but then murdering 5 young woman, what punishment would suffice, death would be to nice, something with extreme pain would suffice.
