Have been watching the episodes shown over last 2 nights.
What a horrid horrid person the man was. So cold and calculating. Scary to think what goes on in a person's head for a long time before they act.
I got the feeling he was enjoying being in the spotlight and by using the phrase ''no comment' felt he had power and control of the situation!!!

Unfortunately it is now the norm to use No comment They are advised by their solicitors and literally told not to say anything
I think they should have to answers questions or be given a longer sentence it is a total waste of everyones time

I find this series of programmes fascinating I was out last night so not sure if it was the one I was watching the night before where a father and son killed another father and son over the daughter taking a child away with a new lover to America ? I ll watch it on my iPad this evening

Yes it was an interesting one, I do think the daughter was complicit.

It was good to see the grandmother got custody of her grandson, that in itself was telling.

The Police expect a No Comment interview at the beginning. It's like a game of cat and mouse, each side wondering how much information the others have. Further interviews are when evidence comes into play.

It's about time no comment was used as admission
of guilt. As for prisoners not wanting to appear in court, double their sentence. Lawyers defending a person they know to be guilty on technicality strike them off too. Oh if it were so simple. It's very depressing how things are now,
