The police still do not have sufficient evidence to charge Bridgewater and were granted a further 24 hours at Aberystwyth Mag Court this morning. However the arrest is now based on killing the child, rather than abducting the child, so we can only assume something has happened to raise the basis of his arrest. I had assumed they had found the child's body but apparently not.
I think it is going to be difficult to charge him with murder in the absence of the child's body being found, although this has happened in other cases. There's been one in the news quite recently, an adult not a child. The other problem is how much longer the police are going to be granted further extensions.
It goes without saying really doesn't it that it is unimaginable for most of us to understand the true horror of what the parents and siblings and close relatives are going through. I was wondering if the McCanns would be contacting them, as they sadly also experienced the loss of their child.
