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

Genuinely shocked.

@blowinahoolie

Bet this thread goes poof like the others...
Yes. Because some people simply haven’t read the OP’s first post properly or have just blatantly ignored it 😡

Desperately sad for everyone involved.

This thread wasn't for links or articles. It was a place to be sad about something that's happened that we should be sad and angry about. If it's not for you, scroll by.

We are organising a March, SW4, possibly on Saturday.

Why is OP saying "posters who will be personally affected" ?
MNers who know the persons at heart of this story personally?
Or lots of MNers live in that same area of London.
Or lots of MNers are cops.

ime, it's the idea that 'one of our own' maybe did anything so evil that will drive cops crazy. Or that such a bad person was a colleague.

Just :( story to me.

I will hide now, honest... Not really that interested.

I understand people posting links, I had no idea what you were talking about.

Who is this being organised by?

Shopliftersoftheworldunite · 10/03/2021 21:12

I am so very sorry to read the updated headlines. Flowers because there are no words.

ShirleyPhallus · 10/03/2021 21:12

It was pretty clear what the thread was about if you’ve read the news at all today.

I feel very sad about it, I see why you started this thread OP Flowers

ConquestEmpireHungerPlague · 10/03/2021 21:13

Very sad and shocking news. But also a very carefully worded statement that will doubtless be expanded upon over the coming days and weeks.

Thoughts for all those affected. Flowers

Perhaps then my point was that I hadn't, so didn't know what the OP was about.

lljkk what an odd response. I’m glad the op made this thread. There may well be MNetters who know her or live in the area who are in pain and shock right now. We don’t all want to speculate but many women will be feeling utter despair tonight. As others have said, that could have been us, our daughters, granddaughters.

Lockheart · 10/03/2021 21:18

@DavidsSchitt

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

Grief-vulturing.

Rubber-necking.

It's a sad evening. You can be sad about it without posting threads on the internet which could cause further distress.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 10/03/2021 21:18

terribly sad news.

missbridgerton · 10/03/2021 21:19

As a mum to 3 young adult daughters, this tonight has made me feel really sick to my stomach.

What ever sort of world did I bring them into Sad

BoreOfWhabylon · 10/03/2021 21:20

No one has yet been charged with anything

Number3BigCupOfTea · 10/03/2021 21:21

Blimey harsh response from some Confused
I've been reading about this in Ireland, and it still feels like more than a news story. It gives me a chill because of who it is reported is responsible. Horrible. Can women not feel safe ever.

Trumplosttheelection · 10/03/2021 21:21

@missbridgerton I hear you.

Really, really awful

OverweightPidgeon · 10/03/2021 21:21

Dreadfully sad news

sailonsilvergirls · 10/03/2021 21:23

Sure sure. I don't understand why people get so high and mighty about people being shocked and wanting to discuss this.

Such awful news.

LittleDoritt · 10/03/2021 21:23

It's so shocking, and so so sad.
