I'm not saying what this relates to and I'd ask everybody who knows not to say either for obvious legal reasons but I just wanted to post that I feel v sad about the news tonight.
I know there are posters who will be personally affected and just wanted to say my thoughts are with all who've loved and lost tonight. I wish it was otherwise.

ThanksThanksThanks

Every other thread had been pulled. Likely for good reason.
It's awful but not unsurprising in the scheme of things. Women being killed by men is not surprising. A women meandering home after an enjoyable evening with friends with a tragic outcome. Could be any of us

mnahmnah · 10/03/2021 20:58

Agreed. Very upsetting. Thoughts are with those close x

Yogaposer · 10/03/2021 20:59

Very sad news.

purpleme12 · 10/03/2021 20:59

I am not sure how a statement about increased police patrols in the area is going to be of any reassurance to anybody in the circumstances.

FreezerBird · 10/03/2021 21:01

So terribly sad.

But I also find myself angry. What a world.

lljkk · 10/03/2021 21:01

Why were other threads deleted, what was so worthy of speculating on?

blowinahoolie · 10/03/2021 21:02

Bet this thread goes poof like the others...

SallyMcNally · 10/03/2021 21:02

Why aren't we allowed to talk about it?

GappyValley · 10/03/2021 21:02

@HollowTalk

I think the whole point of this thread was to not post headlines and articles.
Op made that quite clear. The thread will get pulled now...

lljkk · 10/03/2021 21:03

I am going to hide thread. I can't understand what is exciting about this story. We don't know any definite details. Or maybe reddit does. RIP to Ms SE.

Sparklingbrook · 10/03/2021 21:03

I had to Google to make sense of it, but bit of a strange way of posting the OP.

PopUpName · 10/03/2021 21:04

How utterly distressing. Much love to her friends and her family.

DavidsSchitt · 10/03/2021 21:04

Just leave it for goodness sake. There's a reason these threads get pulled, what is to be gained by starting another

Yes, I'll do the same.
Kfdbhydcjrsx · 10/03/2021 21:04

It's not exciting, it's distressing and frightening. Hence people wanting to connect to others.

GappyValley · 10/03/2021 21:04

@lljkk

Why were other threads deleted, what was so worthy of speculating on?
Someone has gone missing and is now possibly dead. Threads that speculated about the arrest, a possible link to the victim, wild conspiracy theories about friends and family - all could jeopardise a trial so were deleted

And now because of @HollowTalk ‘s post, this thread will almost certainly go the same way

Dingleydel · 10/03/2021 21:04

Tragic. Her poor family. I was so hoping for a different outcome but I think we all knew what was coming when we saw the news this morning.
