Looks like the coward died in the Thames [edit by MNHQ]

[catagoryA]

Police think Abdul Shokoor Ezedi "died in the Thames", having last been seen leaning over Chelsea bridge.

Couldn't face the disability and disfigurement that he had attempted to inflict on helpless girls, but rebounded onto himself , maybe.

Couldn't face justice - coward

If he had there'd be some record of him leaving I'd have thought.

If he has it's solved the problem of having him here in the UK.

You can also die of cold water shock more or less instantly.

Thank you for clarifying that.

That's kind of how I feel. Like what - now you stop looking? Really?

Agreed

Likely a cover up unfortunately and hes already left the country

Except often it does.
the people who murder their children and then kill themselves.
the people who commit other awful crimes and then kill themselbes.

acknowledging that suicide is often used as a weapon by criminals and abusers (if you leave I’ll kill myself) doesn’t mean we don’t know that some people do end their lives through genuine mental illness.

Where would he get the money for that, he worked in a takeaway he wasn't some king pin or he'd of had someone else do the acid attack he paid.

He also wasn't ever a Muslim as someone stated above. Also how would he have called anyone with no phone.

The cracked conspiracy theorists with huge bloody victim complexes on here are ridiculous.

It is a common pattern of behaviour for men who have carried out attacks like this to kill or try to kill themselves.

CCTV shows him entering the bridge but not leaving it.

It is very difficult to find someone who has entered the Thames and it's a huge and constantly moving river. Finding people is more about luck than anything else.

There are no other leads (that we know of).

I don't believe this is an excuse or conspiracy. It's a very likely scenario. I'm sorry you might not get the public spectacle of a trial for you to salivate over but unfortunately in this case it does appear that he's gone off the bridge.

If he jumped in the Thames it's very unlikely the body won't eventually appear.
In a book that talks about the Marchioness disaster they explain in depth about how the Thames 'works" with regards to bodies.
It May take a while but he will surface.

Yes, that's the bit that I find a little odd. There's a coffee stall at the end of the bridge - you can see it, and a cluster of people by it in the last picture/vid (it's on the right hand side of the bridge as you look at the pic). I don't know what time it shuts, but it's clearly open at the time he arrived at the bridge.

So how long did he spend to-ing and fro-ing there? I'm guessing he can't have jumped from the right hand side of the bridge, or surely coffee stall customers would have seen him. So left had side, and just wait until no other pedestrians?

I don't think he could have got in a car on the bridge itself - it's a very conspicuous place for a vehicle to pull over, also he's have to climb the barrier that separates pavement from road, and someone doing that would also be conspicuous and memorable to any passers by

I think he must also have been towards the north side of the bridge, as the footage on the BBC site shows that the camera that is covering the bridge from the south has a clear view of the railings (on both sides of the bridge) and a jump would have been seen, as would his zigzag between peering over railings and back to main pavement. But once over midway, that camera would lose him, and it seems he was picked up nowhere on cameras to the north side.

Hence assumption that he left the bridge by jumping (especially if the zigzags looked like practice runs)

If you want your tin foil hat on, there is one other place he could have gone - which is a small piece of scrub where the bridge meets the embankment at the northwest of the bridge. There's even a novel, whose name temporarily eludes me) where the protagonist had to hide in London and that spot was where he made his den

It is a common pattern of behaviour for men who have carried out attacks like this to kill or try to kill themselves.

This seems to be repeated but what are you basing it on?

Here are some reports that are more relevant outside our culture

The criminal is not from India but I’m not seeing much on men killing themselves after using acid attacks as a way to control and harm

What do you mean by a cover up? Who’s covering up what? And what are their motives for covering up?

Exactly. Some of the posts here are insane.

How could he have left the country without being noticed?

Who would be both capable of, and willing to help him?

He was severely injured and needed hospital treatment to survive.

The overwhelming likelihood is that he's dead, and good riddance.

Seems convenient.

What Is “convenient”? They could have said nothing and still “pretended” to be looking for him?
They’ve raided houses where it was possible he could be, on the off chance he is hiding out there, even though they’ll have believed from the CCTV he has gone into the Thames, just in case.
I highly doubt he’s got the money to be smuggled out of the country, or the money to pay for a corrupt doctor who has the means to treat his severe injuries.

Men like this often kill themselves. It’s a pattern of behaviour. He enters the bridge and doesn’t come off. The Thames is tidal and fast flowing. Sometimes the most obvious answer is correct. Occam’s Razor.

After an acid attack? Where does this come from

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he did go over the bridge.

However a few days ago the police were saying he wasn't in the river and now he is, what changed, the lack of CCTV sightings?

Good. Save the taxpayer feeding and housing him! And hopefully his victims can rest easier knowing he wont be able to hurt them again.

Let's apply a little critical thinking.

Occam's Razor - the most likely explanation is usually the correct one: he was seen walking onto a bridge and no trace can be found of him leaving it. He has not been seen since the night of the attack and had severe facial injuries that required immediate medical attention.

The police have been searching CCTV for over a week, they've had behavioural psychologists involved in looking at the footage and his background. They wouldn't have gone public with this if they weren't sure it was the most likely outcome.

He's not Walter White or Pablo Escobar. He is not a major criminal with underground contacts who can shelter him indefinitely, let alone treat his injuries. He is(was) a ten-a-penny misogynist who couldn't face up to having to pay for his crimes.

For those commenting on the lack of a body, just remember what happened with poor Nicola Bulley - it took 23 days for her body to be found in a much smaller and less variable river. It could take weeks/months for his body to turn up. If at all.

@Princessandthepea0 said exactly what I was trying to say, and with far fewer words!

How would anyone cover for him, and indeed why, given the massive risk to themselves? He'd have to get treatment for his injuries because otherwise it's virtually inevitable they would get infected and he would get sepsis and/or gangrene. Who is going to give him treatment given that he hasn't accessed the NHS? It's not as if he's some master criminal with massive stashes of money to pay people off and a network of minions to hide him.

Hi @catagoryA - we've edited the title in line with Samaritans guidelines.

I do think that some posters need to let go of the conspiracy theories, he had no phone, no money, was most probably in agony and everyone in London would soon be looking for him.

If he's not been seen on camera coming off the bridge then the most logical conclusion is that he's in the water.

I don’t get the logic of conspiracy theorists. Believing that someone would have seen him jump but also believing that he’s escaped the country without anyone seeing him? Surely it’s much harder to get out the country without various sightings? And it’s not been that long since he went missing, so why would the police just make up a lie when there would be such a potential for embarrassment if he was to be later found in hiding?
