Putney Pusher suspect found dead, according to reports

[Fartughtyred]

Goodness me, wasn't expecting that.

The woman who was pushed would be dead too if it wasnt for the quick reflexes of that bus driver

He wasn't. He hadn't even been charged. He was a suspect who had been arrested and was still under investigation. He was the fourth man to be arrested.

He was arrested in June 2026.

If you look you'll notice all the media headlines refer to "Putney Pusher suspect" or "suspect in the Putney Pusher case".

He was posh and wealthy and presumably charming when he wanted to be. I think he was separated from his second wife by the time of that interview and divorced from his first wife so the charm had obviously worn off.

Was he the actual person who did it?

He was released without charge and so I hope it’s not a case of being hounded for committing a crime he didn’t do.

@widetoothcomb He was posh and wealthy and presumably charming when he wanted to be.

I'm not convinced that this is correct.

For example, there was a guy who went to my school was extremely rude and obnoxious. He was always rude and obnoxious, and it was clear to everyone. Yet, women flocked to him. He had no difficulty finding a partner and getting married, though now he's divorced.

So I have no idea what's going on here, and I suspect you don't know either.

Norman Bates Complex maybe!

No women flocked to him, unless you mean the teachers. You were at school; you were all kids, including him and the girls who were drawn to him. Kids/children/youngsters aren't known for their fantastic mature judgement... and getting married isn't difficult.

That's good news, he was a danger to women.

I also wasn't sad when Peter Sutcliffe died, or Charlie Kirk. They were both dangerous to women in their differing ways.

My heart feels for their families but frankly men who hate and harm women just for being women, I won't shed a tear for them. I feel the same about rascists, when Farage or Yaxley Lennon go, they'll be no mourning from me. To pretend otherwise would be hypocritical.

I won't be sad when Prince Andrew shuffles off either, hes cut from the same cloth.

First cousin to Phil the Greek. Arrogance checks out then.

Well, I hesitate to be glad about anyone's suicide; a much better solution would have been for him to take responsibility, take his punishment, take advantage of all the therapy and rehabilitation he could have got in prison, and commit to being a better person in every way, for the rest of his life.

However. There was clearly something very, VERY wrong with him. What he did to that woman was psychotic, and then there was that other incident in traffic, too. I often think that someone like that is just wired wrong.

I feel sorry for his kids, if he has any. He and his wife were separated, I think. I'm sure she has mixed feelings, but in a way this might solve a problem for her, awful as that is to say.

How did he stay secret for so long

He was rich, (very) well connected and perfectly decent looking.

It really is as simple as that. People with far less 'on the table' have multiple partners.

Connections pure and simple. No wonder the Met dragged their feet. Like I said up thread, he was first cousin to Prince Philip.

I hate when these cowards don't stick around to face the consequences of their actions ☹️.

I’m just sorry we’ve lost the opportunity to understand what led hIm to such an act.

I had a similar experience a few years ago (minus pram and niece) with a guy but it was a middle aged man in a suit on a Boris bike. Wasn't impressed I didn't get out of his way even though I had priority. I told him to read the Highway Code.

I didn't think he was being anti-women, I assumed he was a partner in a law firm or similar and was used to everyone jumping to his tune and didn't like it when I didn't.

That's the only time I've experienced it, although it's an occupational hazard in London with all the lycra louts and e-bike riders dinging their bells at you if you walk within 10m of them.

Like the guy who murdered his wife (Emma) and daughter (Lettie) at Epsom College and then turned the gun on himself.

Very sad business indeed.

but he was a suspect

If it was indeed him, this is extremely cheering news (though dreadful for his family.) It is good that he won’t be able to inflict any more harm.

Within one page there are people making excuses for this ‘man’, PTSD, blah. It’s much more likely he was an entitled, coked up horror with no fear of the law, He ran back the same way 15
minutes later to have a gander.

Glad its not just me. I didn't understand that post at all.

I agree with you!

And the case she references can be totally distinguished from this one as well, as she doesn't give the full story.

I can absolutely well believe the aggressive men pushing experience reported by some on here. Only tonight on the way home from work I was nearly mown down by an angry cyclist in full Lycra hollering at me to “get out of thr fucking way” on a pedestrian crossing, he had gone through a red light - this was in full view of several large armed coppers by the side of the road. Such incredible entitlement.
