just sad for her parents that the man who killed her will never be held accountable for her murder under a technicality. Bad enough to to have lost their daughter in such circumstances but to have any chance of justice or to make him stand in court and answer to her murder just swept away as though she were unimportant must be awful.

Christopher Halliwell was found guilty of the murder of Sian O'Callaghan and sentenced to 25 years today but feel sad that Becky Is basically just pushed aside.

and cheers to the defence lawyers who pushed for both sets of murder charges to be dropped on this technicality even though there was no doubt that Halliwell was guilty.

To look at it slightly differently,
If the police had taken him straight to the police station to see a solicitor he may have decided differently or been advised not to say where the other body was buried.
Then the relatives would have been even worse off, not being able to give her a proper burial.

No. Are you?

Actually scratch that. I don't care if you are or not.

It's not okay that this man got away with this murder. It's that simple.
