[wolf63]

Not a good outcome

So sad for the little boy and his siblings. I hope the person arrested isn't the mother (or father).

[Sqad]

Yeah! yeah! yeaah!.....it has been removed.

[NoMercy]

I find it rather hard to believe that if his mother killed him, she would leave his body so close to his aunt's house. It may be that mother did lie to Police about his whereabouts at the time of his disappearance but that the little boy did wander off afterall.

Poor little mite :(

Nomercy that is what I have been saying all day, most odd, but no doubt the truth will out!

[NoMercy]

Indeed, Pips.

It was reported that the mother was genuinely out of her mind with worry before the discovery of his body.

I just can't believe she killed him.

[EDDIE51]

she would be 'out of her mind with worry' if she had killed him and knew it was just a matter of time before she was found out!^^

RIP little darling Mikaeel. This has truly broke my heart. If someone has killed him, then i just can not begin to understand why? was it accidental or murder, and then they thought to hide/dump the body.....how can someone with the right mind harm a 3 year old baby boy?? I guess the only way we will all know is when the police make an announcement after the post mortem and whether the mum is charged or not, and what she is charged for. We don't know anything, and cannot just make one guilty without the facts. I would like to believe no mother would hurt her child, but unfortunately the sad fact is, this has happened a few times too many now and more often than not, a missing child is linked to a family member or friend. It is just so so sad.

Sqad commenting that the mother is a good looking woman hardly warranted the usual over-sensitive AB witchhunt that followed

From her photo I agree she is very attractive

If she'd been ugly and someone had commented about her looks no-one would've been so bothered

It's very sad that the little boy is dead but just because she's been detained doesn't necessarily mean she killed him

//If she'd been ugly and someone had commented about her looks no-one would've been so bothered//

That would have been worse, joeluke.

[sherrardk]

'the usual over-sensitive AB witchhunt that followed'. Gosh, you must have led a sheltered life if you think five or six comments are a witch hunt.

[netibiza]

Apparently Mikaeel was a twin, so why would the father just ask for the custody of him? and the lock on the main door of the flats has been broken for a while.

This really upset me, such a sweet looking child, so young, and all so very very strange.

for sqad,,,,,,,,,,,I did not report your post,

[Gromit]

One of AOG's better posts...

// Yes very sad I think the whole nation is upset at this outcome, no matter how long a child goes missing nearly everyone hopes that there will be a happy ending and the child is found, but sadly as is often the case this very really happens.

One could hear the gasps of sadness coming from the gathered otherwise 'hard shell' reporters when the police chief announced that a body had been found. //

Sums it all up for me.

[anneasquith]

police statement due soon, bbc

[Peter Pedant]

Yes I heard the hacks from Grub St., gasp collectively

but it cant have been a surprise ? A kid out of doors for 48 h ?
Perhaps they felt or hoped it would not be a repeat of little April Jones or James Bulger ....

I didn't report your post, sqad. I just tutted.

[anneasquith]

no hc, I posted my feelings for sqad and anyone who wished to read it

[ummmm]

I thought the police chief looked like he wanted to cry...

[hc4361]

He did, ummmmm. It's too easy to forget there is a person underneath that uniform.

I also noticed how upset the Police spokesman was when announcing they had found Mikaeel. It must be as hard for them as it is for us to hear about it. Has anyone heard the next update expected a short time ago (it said on the BBC news)

My Daughter lives a little over a mile away and I have to say it's a great community. They really do look after each other. Ann, nothing new on the BBC News webpage yet
