Do you think you could get away with it?

A brief google suggests around 600 murders per year in the UK with approximately 60 being unsolved. So, someone’s getting away with it.

After that google search you won’t get away with it now!

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 07/10/2025 08:02

No, as I'm very bad at lying. I cannot tell the smallest lie convincingly. 🙊

reversegear · 07/10/2025 08:01

I always think when people just go “missing” they are likely murdered. I don’t think I’d be able to keep it to myself, I’d have a few wines and start chatting and say ohhh you never guess what I did last week.

As said by a pp, I could only now do it if one of my GC were SA/killed. I'd risk six years on a all inclusive at HMP. But then I'd rather inflict life changing injuries. Watching the news last night, a man got for years for fraud and eighteen months for child sexual offences, I'd struggle to live with that if it involved a child in the family.

You can go to an internet cafe and search that way, leaving your phone at home.

Or maybe use a burner phone that you then chuck in the river.

Yes - you have to go no comment, and it has to be a proper "no comment" to everything, no matter how sorely you are tempted to answer some of the questions

Researching methods would be tricky. You can't have it on your Google history or have mentioned it on an anonymous forum!

I think you'd have to murder someone who had lots of enemies, so loads of suspects with motives. Especially if the other suspects were also wrong 'uns.

herbalteabag · 07/10/2025 07:56

No, it would be hard to escape forensic and technical detection these days, and I'm not a big details person so I'd definitely get caught.

Doubt it.
But I tell my dh to be very worried if he spots a big hole and I come home with a pig from market 😂 (we live on a farm, so it wouldn't be unusual to come home with a random animal in tow)

Although you'd have to have a hard heart and a strong stomach to watch/know the pig was eating a body.

You'd also need to take the teeth out first. Forensics can't get DNA from bone shards that pass through a pig but they can get enough DNA from teeth to identify who it was, so you'd want to take those out and dispose of them separately.

No!!! I’m far too honest and I can’t get away with trying to lie about simple things 🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤷‍♀️

Around 90% solved rate in the UK.

the pushing down the stairs is defo best way to do it

I’m not convinced. Several people I know have fallen down the stairs recently (I wasn’t coincidentally there at the time, but it’s been a bit of an epidemic!) and just broken lots of bones. If you used this method and failed you’d have a very disgruntled would-be corpse to contend with.

I think maybe on a hike remotely, ply with booze/drugs, knock off a high point and let wild animals do your dirty work would be your best bet.

Good tips @TheNightingalesStarling!
Also from watching police programmes like 24 hours in custody etc most murders and crimes in general aren't solved they either confess or are grassed up by others. So if you stayed silent through questioning you'd be clear I think 🤔

That's not great odds though. I'd want a lower than 90% chance of getting caught!

Or by car, stick around, act distraut, be done for dangerous driving.

I was coming on to say that.

this country has such a love affair with driving, I'm sure you could cop for a dangerous driving ban or driving without due care and attention... escape a murder charge easily... especially as a little old lady with worsening eyesight, getting confused, "sorry officer I pressed the accelerator instead of the brake".

Plugsocketrocket · 07/10/2025 07:42

I genuinely cannot imagine killing someone. It would never ever be worth it. I’d never get over it so no murders for me to worry about getting away with. Even if I killed somebody in clear self defence I would feel some responsibility towards them.

Daleksatemyshed · 07/10/2025 07:41

You'd have a better chance if they were a complete stranger but then why would you want to do it. With DNA, cctv and mobile phones tracking you I'd take up another hobby Op

pinkpony88 · 07/10/2025 07:40

Omg no. I struggle to keep a cool Christmas present a secret… there’s no way I’d be able to keep killing someone under my hat! 🤣

@TheNightingalesStarling day before bin day is next level murder planning.
I’ll never sleep well on Tuesday nights ever again!

Think I might need to get a new Mumsnet account before any crimes now I've given away my secrets!😅
