Bad (But Not Unexpected) News

Just heard on the news on Radio 2, police searching for the missing nurse have found a body and 3 men are being questioned. How i feel for this lady's family.

As A-H says, a local story for us Stokies and very tragic for her and the family. But having followed this in the local paper something that I find a bit odd is the fact that the police started a missing person investigation because she was 20 minutes late for work. Since when did the police start investigating someone because they are a bit late for work?
I suppose the full story will emerge soon enough but I just found that a bit odd.

Perhaps the people who heard the screams had reported it to the police and they were investigating that?

I rather feared this would be the outcome of the Police Search.

Nailit, I guess it is because people from the hospital raised the alarm rather than a hysterical family member. It was probably also extremely out of character for her. Perhaps colleagues knew she was the subject of harassment too? Purely all speculation, of course.

Could be Tills. Very sad case and such a waste of a very young life.

[nailit]

Again NoM, could be. It'll all come out eventually I guess.

/// I wonder if it's something to do with her ex? I heard she was due to be married but it was called off. ///

I doubt that it is her ex, because according to reports he is aged 34, whilst the man who has been charged with her murder is aged 32.

So it seems that there is a second man involved a lover perhaps? Seeing that her engagement to the 34 year old was called off.

According to the BBC a third man, aged 60, has also been arrested.
A father? Could be a family affair.

...All speculation , a young woman is dead,, tragic... The truth will emerge eventually .

[naomi24]

^ Indeed. A strange case though.

I'm sure it'll turn out to be an all too familiar story with the usual lack of satisfactory punishment for the guilty.
A damned shame.

Latest is her ex has not been taken into custody the police have announced. It seems he was getting trolled on the internet so they have made a statement to get people to stop.

So tragic and so many lives ruined.

[Jackdaw33]

The plot thickens. I revise my previous theory in light of the police statement but I still feel this is a family job. Was the poor woman in another relationship? We will just have to wait and see.

[ladybirder]

So it's her ex's brother-in-law who is charged with her murder. Goodness knows what chain of events led to this terrible end. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

LB, impossible to even hazard a guess.
