Stating The Obvious

[Chemeyes]

So police have pulled a suitcase containing a body out of a river and they're treating it as suspicious, really!! Are there any circumstances when this wouldn't be suspicious!?!?

[jackthehat]

Not really.
But what do you feel they ought to have said?

[maggiebee]

I heard this on the news and had a wee chuckle about the way it was reported.

[Old_Geezer]

Probably ought to have stopped after the word "river".

Still, they could have said that they have pulled a suitcase containing a body out of a river and they were looking into it.

[Prudie]

Clearly not an open and shut case

[Sqad]

^^^...;-)

[Bazile]

This case is suitable to be investigated by the River police

Well I know I watched an episode of a fabulous crime drama but I've forgotten which one, where a man actually committed suicide by doing this. The dead man had been in showbusiness actually, not sure which show it was,

[hc4361]

dot, are you thinking of the real death of Gareth Williams, the MI6 spook?

[sandyRoe]

Truth is sometimes as strange as fiction. Anyone remember the MI5 man who is said to have locked himself in a bag and couldn't get out?

[DJHawkes]

no I don't think so, unless it was made into a drama, I don't watch anything on the news or in a documentary. I don't watch much that isn't on US netwroks either really, channel 4 or 5. So no, I'm sure it was a tv drama.

Snap, sandy :D
