I ended up down a rabbit hole yesterday, the case seems very complex. Don't think married but living together and had 2 kids. The police say he was controlling Katie from around 9/10 year old, so I don't think it was a consensual relationship more like grooming and control. He had multiple women he was also sleeping with, including the 3 that either got rid of evidence or withheld information when questioned.
Katie was obviously scared of him, her last texts to her boyfriend were asking him not to tell Creswell they'd spent the night together.
He surely must of had a reputation, yet he was in the Grand National advert, was thrown a welcome home party after being released from prison from when he assaulted Abi. All the signs were there, yet he continually was able to carry on. Women who were meant to have been good friends, who carried her coffin then lied and helped him hide evidence. Rose, is still attending events as normal, whilst on bail for withholding information. It just all seems crazy, how did 1 men have this hold of so many people?!
