I think it has something to do with the fact that they are struggling to find a suspect and due to the public out cry they are trying to ensure that they are seen to be questioning people

Guy comes forward, publicly announces he knew all the dead hookers, AND he was the last person to see them on the days they died......
And you're complaining because the police arrested him? I bet you'd be the first on here moaning if they didn't and he went on to kill again.
I can imagine the Police press release "We had a suspect in mind who admitted to having a deep seated hatred of sex workers, but because of someone on an internet forum resenting us doing some work we arrested a cat instead."

And you of course have special inside knowledge of the whole situation, information that the police and the general public aren't party to. As you are so well informed maybe the fuzz should arrest you. Rap up and let the po do their job.

How do you know that? He is still in custody... you dont know the full story. You dont know whether these two guys are connected yet.
He made the arrest happen by blabbing to the Sunday Mirror about his prozzie-loving ways. How silly would it have been for the police to ignore him after that.... and imagine the critism thrown their way if he has some guilt?
Arrests are made in any big murder enquiry.... its called investigation.... questioning and searching in order to gather any information that may be available.
Police arent in the wrong..... they are doing what they are supposed to be doing.... arresting SUSPECTS.

And you know this for a fact do you? Seems strange that after they question him they suddenly get on to the guy in Ipswich. Strange also that they managed to convince a high court judge to extend his questioning time by 36hrs, after all he's only a publicity seeker.

What do you mean? The first guy was arrested under suspicion and also a person of interest. The second guy is being questioned under suspicion, but is not a person of interest. But there may be more arrests made.

No, I don't agree with you. The police have to arrest someone if they have a reasonable suspicion.
Remember the Yorkshire ripper? He was questioned, then let go, before they finally caught him. I suppose they have learned from this.

Seems like you have all the answers, I'm sure it was as a result of the hours you spent in the room with the interviewers and you deep understanding of psychological profiling that have led you to this conclusion
Damn you aren't on the police force solving crimes like a modern day Sherlock Holmes.

Nah don't be silly. It's a classic ploy. They arrest a guy who almost certainly didn't do it in the hope of flushing out the real murderer. Looks like they have played this cat and mouse game rather well if you ask me.

Ian Huntley - didn't he appear on tv and give interviews? didn't he get talking to the press and Police as a way of monitoring the investigation, didn't he kill two little girls? oh so he did...
