Man Arrested............Body Found

[grego]

In the Burnley Road case they found traces of her blood in the kebab shop didn't they? It will be good for the family of Dave esp Sammy if there's closure, even if the news isn't what you really want to hear.

If there is enough evidence to make a case that someone was murdered then a person can be charged with the act of murder, even if there is no body to be found.

[grego]

Hopefully there will be a press release soon which will at least put an end to the speculation.

What happened to Habeus Corpus?????

[fireman]

They obtained a conviction with the burnley road case with no body. They must know what they are doing.

Just hope for the family, that this is end of it.......

Habeus Corpus is a Latin term which means "you should have the body," and is a legal principle which requires that the government must present an accused and arrested person before an impartial judge in order to prove that there exists just cause to hold that person against his or her will.
Without the Writ of Habeus Corpus (traditionally called the "Great Writ"), a government could hold a person in jail for any length of time without having to prove that there is any good reason for doing so. Thus, if you are being held by the government, you can request a writ of habeus corpus and, if a court issues it, then the government must bring you to that court and demonstrate that they have arrested you for a compelling reason. If they cannot, then they must set you free.

The principle of habeus corpus also refers to the power of federal courts to review the legal decisions made by lower state courts. Thus, if you think that you have been unjustly convicted in a state court, then you can appeal to a federal court. If your appeal is approved, the federal court can issue a writ, requiring that government officials bring you before it so that your case can be reviewed. This oversight authority has been restricted in recent years, in particular with regards to death penalty convictions. The ability to request a hearing before a federal court means that it takes longer for a death sentence to be carried out, and about 40% of capital convictions are overturned on federal review. Supporters of the death penalty find this unacceptable and have successfully lobbied for less federal oversight.

It should be noted that a person's right to a writ of habeus corpus was the only one considered important enough to be included in the original text of the Constitution.

i diddent know that b, r, you learn something every day.
my sympathy to the family

[garinda]

Thanks Raver, but how will Acrylic-bob be able to Lord it over us if you explain his posts for us???

Like everybody else l'm sure it's his daughter I feel sorry for, and hope she finds some peace.

[harwood red]

it's odd how in the LET it has been reported about the arrest but no mention of any body been recovered be it david or not!!!?

[BLACKBURN RAVER]

yeah i read the article and thought the same, maybe there is actually no body and it is just the old rumour mill churning again

[fireman]

\no its not a rumour I heard it myself on radio lancashire yesterday but reported then that no connection had been mentioned.

[Graham Jones]

Shane Fitzpatrick and has been charged with murder and is currently in prison on remand. He may apply for bail. I don't think the body is connected.

So who's was the body?????

Is this possibly a case for our intrepid crime fighting duo Doug and Sandra Hayes???
