update on rachel

Today's IT reveals that the suspect himself has not been arrested - it's his alibis. So the cops are convinced its him but the alibis obviously rule him out. The suspect proclaims his innocence and can't believe the tenor of the newspaper reports which in fairness directly reflect the investigation. On another note, if the IT can report that it is not the chief suspect which has been arrested then why couldn't RTE tell us that yesterday? It would have put me out of my misery.

I know I've been referring to the Petersen case but one is also reminded of Mr. Livingstone in Malahide who ended up suing the state because the Gardai focused on him alone as a suspect in his wife's murder and never looked for anyone else, never proved it was him and the entire country was led to believe that it was him. (Will look for non-subsc. based link later on that case).

I suppose we should be thankful that the Garda have not yet adopted the Ashcroftian terminology, "person of interest."
