Putney Pusher suspect found dead, according to reports

[Fartughtyred]

Goodness me, wasn't expecting that.

He was arrested nearly 9 years after the incident. There is no chance his bank would have kept any of the records you list that long, and I doubt his boss would even be able to say with certainty that he was in the office that day, let alone what time he arrived.

From nine years ago?
The police may well be trying to track down that information, but the sisters are not necessarily going to know about it if it still exists. They're talking about what they know.

I'm late to this but having read several threads nobody has mentioned his remarkable likeness to a slightly squashed AMW. That has surely done him no favours in public opinion, consciously or otherwise. Thanks to the pp upthread who posted a picture that does actually look like him.
I really don't believe the police brought or wanted the media at his arrest. After Cliff Richard there is just no way.
Lastly the rich American who was out of the country at the time of the assault (attempted murder), my sympathies of course for the arrest but he was absolutely in the flight risk demographic and we'd be a lot angrier if it was him and he followed saccoulas and that more recent paedophile.

And maybe they have. With positive or negative results.

I'm just suggesting that the email "evidence" seems odd.

Well, they might, if there were client meetings, or calls with people in other time zones.

And the server may well have some of that evidence.

Why would they even have thought to look for it though?

Those would not necessitate keeping these records. CCTV is kept for up to 90 days. Visitor logs and entry/exit logs are kept for up to 1 year. Keeping either of these for 9 years would be a breach of GDPR.

There is no way the bank would have been able to show where he was at 7:30am 9 years ago unless he happened to be in a meeting and someone had kept the minutes, or he had sent an email which someone had kept.

It's sadly* all the rage now, I wouldn't read too much into that.

*not a fan

I don't think people should be named until found guilty but I know a lot of people disagree with that.

@DannyDeever in another incident he ran into a women on his Harley Davidson … pretty violent to me

What about his outlook diary, would that go back 9 years. I dont delete any of my emails, I have them goinng back about 15 years in my current role

No of course not, how would you even do that? You have to arrest in order to have the legal powers to look at particular information and question the person.

Most organisations leave calendars on the default, which is to auto archive after 6 months. How long they stay in the archive depends on organisational policies but 7 years is the highest I've ever seen in a regulated industry. Similarly, emails in your inbox are typically archived then deleted. However, if, like me, you move emails into a local archive file, they will stay there until you delete them.

So there may be evidence on his PC, but only if he keeps stuff. It is unlikely they will have anything on their servers or in the cloud.

I dont do anything with my emails, they're just there in my inbox, I frequently find ones from 10/12/14 years ago when we're wondering about something or Im finding an old document quickly.

Driving without due care and attention is not a gateway drug for shoving people into busy roads.

TBH I would certainly go through my old e-mails/texts etc, it's the only record I could imagine I'd have.

If I was lucky it might show I had been abroad or dozens of miles away or in a meeting with a hundred people or similar. If I was slightly less lucky I might find an e-mail to a family member which is better than nothing.

Are signing in books kept for 9 years? I doubt it.

Clearly someone accused of something is going to struggle to prove themselves innocent, they might be able to cobble together something.

But all this is irrelevant. It's up to the Police to provide evidence he was the PP, not for him to prove the negative. The family are being honest and open about the evidence they have, if the Police came clean with the evidence they have we could probably come to some conclusion.

No. But hitting a cyclist with your motorbike and then failing to stop tells you something about a person and their regard for others. Plus the being in possession of Class A and B drugs seems fairly definite - which also says something about a person’s attitude towards others

Still there’s a reason juries don’t have this type of information. It’s not a good way to assess guilt.

Ok, but it's quite likely they don't have any of those. It might be that the only record he could find of what he did that day is the email. I very much doubt that his workplace did have those records but he decided to keep that quiet from his sisters and just tell them about the email he'd found instead.

The drugs possession would have been a new charge if it had got that far, not a previous conviction

Now, of course, the sister could have been lying, but these statements could have been pretty easily refuted by the police if so. They haven’t done this.

Why would the police make a statement about some random statements? They are still investigating.

He failed to stop on that occasion too.

Hit and runs and shove and runs are his forté if it is him.

That's unusual. Most organisations have some kind of auto archiving in place on inboxes to prevent the server filling up with old emails. With modern email systems, the mail server keeps a complete copy of your inbox.

There is a massive leap between low regard for others and shoving someone into a busy road in public and then coming back the same way a little later.

MN is full of people with low regard for others. They aren't all committing random murders with a near 100% chance of getting caught.

I was responding to your odd point that those things aren’t a ‘gateway drug for shoving people into busy roads.’ I was saying what those things can tell us about a person, rather than being ridiculously over dramatic.
