Cases like this are just tragic. What possessed the scum to assault her in the first place? Drugs? Booze? Sheer stupidity? All of the above? And then to think, even in a panicked state, that her body could remain concealed within a home of one of the family, just beggars belief.

Funny how some scumbag has killed a 12 year old girl and the Police end up on trial instead, coppers are only human, generally 12 year old kids don't go missing in their grandparents house and get stashed in the loft. Perhaps someone in the Police missed something but they found the poor girl pretty soon afterwards, it is a very fluid situation, maybe questions need answering, procedures reviewing, training improving but the Police didnt murder the girl and stick her in the loft. The Police probably had all available manpower out looking for her, combing countryside, examining CCTV and dredging Ponds.
The Police have to tread carefully and observe procedure, respect rights and being human can be thrown curve ***** buy the family who appear to be complicit, the whole area, potentially the country where she may have ended up, she may have still been alive and run away, she could have met with an accident or suicide, hindsight is a wonderful thing, all outcomes seem obvious once you have heard them, this is one small girl in the corner of a loft, she didn't have a GPS tag on, there were no signs saying "Dead Girl this way --->"
I sometimes wonder whether these kind of things are just a way for Police Haters to have a go at the Police, to lower confidence, to cause discomfort etc, there should never be complacency and incompetence, it should be weeded out but I really think this was just the case panning out.
Now, perhaps focus on the rogues gallery that has been arrested and ponder where her mother is ?

I think in a lot of such cases that the scum involved are totally amoral and can't even understand what they actually did wrong! Pretty awful thought though!

Its not just the police who may have cocked up: Looks like they were known to social services too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19256569
Although I don't think the police did **** up...I think they had suspicions and were waiting. I'm guessing to move the body and catch them in the act as they knew it couldn't be kept there indefinetly. When that didn't happen, they had to call in a final search. The appeals and candle vigils are classic police "test tactics" on suspects.

Of course they were known, all families like this are.
"The Local Safeguarding Children Board will now commission a serious case review, the standard procedure in a tragic case such as this.

What i don't get, because i don't know the law, is how they can keep the scumbag on remand till the next court appearance in November. I'm glad that they can because he's probably guilty, but does this mean that the Police know it will just be a formality and he will be found guilty because of DNA links or whatever? If there was even a small chance that he was the wrong man, wouldn't they be obliged to bail him?

It was announced today on the News that they still cannot say how she died. They said at first they thought she might have been smothered but I imagine they will have withdrawn that statement.
It all seems a bit strange as well as tragic to me.
