Rachel Nickell murder.

[Leekbrookgull]

41 yo Robert Napper pleads guilty to manslaughter of 23 yo Rachell Nickell 16 years ago on Wimbledon common. I wonder if any of those Police officer,s that 'fitted' up Colin Stagg will face arrest ?

 

[Gritt23]

I doubt it.

Police don't get arrested even if they order 9 bullets to be put through the head of innocent guys on the underground, so I can't see this causing much of a commotion.

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Apoligising massively at the moment to Stagg.

they should be begging forgiveness from the family of the girl and her 4 year old baby that Napper killed after he killed Nickell and was not seen after a neighbour bubbled him and he did'nt turn up for a DNA test twice.

is it any wonder nobody has any faith left in them?

 

[Safeway]

Are they still looking for Suzy Lamplugh's killer?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If I remember rightly, even when Colin Stagg was released there were people who were whispering that he'd really done it, and had only got off because of a "technicality" (ie dodgy police evidence).

It wasnt just the police that were accused. If you knew anything about the case you would be aware that Paul Britton an eminent psychologist and pioneer of offender profiling was struck of by the BPS for his role in the investigation.

The police suspect John Cannan, but can't prove it.

Lord B and Kaiser,did'nt the Police even go as far to say that at the collaspe of the trial they were not looking for anyone else ? (Stagg was their man)

whispered ? it was shouted from the rooftops.

I have a mate who was mates with a few coppers from Kingson nick and he was adamant that Stagg had done it because his mates said so.

I'm tempted to phone him up tonight and ask him what he thinks of his mates now.

Well to be fair, they did carry on the investigation and they did (seemingly) get the right man in the end.

When looking at it though it's hard to understand how they couldn't link the cases of young mothers attacked in front of their children. The guy had the most unique M.O. and they couldn't put 2 and 2 together.

 

[Easy 10]

Stagg was, and is, a bit of a weirdo. Thats largely why he ended up being convicted.

Yes, the other thing to bear in mind is that whilst Napper has admitted doing it he might not have done. Bearing mind he's of 'Diminished Responsibility' he may not have done it at all so I wouldn't be too hasty to have a go at the Police just yet. Napper won't be the first person to have confessed to something he didn't do. Napper is already banged up and frankly has nothing to lose.

seemly the original investigating team didn't carry it on...the cold case people looked at it twice and couldnt make two and two fit, it was only when this other bloke was done, then they thought to ask him and he "confessed" to her manslaughter.

they found DNA evidence that proved inequivacable

It would be a bit quiet on here if that was a criteria in the courts.

Same with our friends in the police. In the absence of anything else in the early days of his acquittal I rather assumed Stagg was guilty as well.

they found DNS evidence that proved inequivacable

They found a small spot of DNA which was dismissed at the time. I'm not saying he didn't do it but I think it's far too easy to jump on the Police.

yes and the lab was serverely critisised and people moved to other duties and they have had to refer other cases to a new lab that appears to be better at doing it.
