It's only a plea hearing. At least he has been remanded in custody.

[webbo3]

But he is still charged with the crime

[TonyV]

Yes but case will eventually end up in Crown Court or maybe at the Old Bailey.

[andy-hughes]

This has a long way to go - let's hope that the pitchfork carriers on here remember the concept of innocent until proven guilty.

[barry1010]

Yes, Webb, otherwise he'd have been released.

[douglas9401]

Even pitchfork carriers know that the polis don't arrest the polis unless they're sure it's a done deal.

My personal opinion is that there are mental health issues involved an he will send upnin a secure place like Broadmore. But it's only an opinion.

[Apc2604]

End up!

[Zacs-Master]

Sounds like he’s been running head first into his cell walls. Nut job.

[chelle7272]

What gets me is his wife being involved, all very strange.

[jno]

is there a suggestion that his wife is actually involved? She'd naturally be questioned.

[Barsel]

I think his wife was released. They would have arrested her because they would think she knew about it.

[Apc2604]

Agree with Barsel.

[burlyshirley]

I should imagine they'll have him on round the clock suicide watch. Hope he doesn't succeed, that lovely young lady and her family deserve proper justice.

[davebro]

He won't want to go to a normal jail - if he can convince them he's nuts he'll get sent to Broadmoor (if found guilty of course!).

[bhg481]

Perhaps his self-harm is an attempt to show them he's nuts. As a policeman he's likely to know all the tricks.

[maggiebee]

Agree with Andy's sentiments. Will wait to see how things pan out before jumping to conclusions. As Andy said, it still has a long way to go.

[Apc2604]

Nobody on this thread has jumped to conclusions Maggie. Just expressed thoughts which is natural.

[burlyshirley]

Who's jumping to conclusions as far as I can see, abers are just giving an opinion on a thread !
