  • Been reading this story today, some serious questions to be answered from the authorities.

  • JFC. I watched a silly film the other week about this kind of thing but this is atrocious. No DNA evidence, just he was in the area and looked similar? That's fucked. Also, the new suspect hasn't been charged? WTAF?

    One lesser known aspect of UK law is currently (justifiably) outraging people: if he's awarded compensation for wrongful imprisonment, there will be a deduction for "board and lodging". It will be trivial compared to the likely award, but whichever bureaucrat or politician came up with that is one malicious cunt.
