Very true, I just mean that if it turns out he *was* in uniform, that points to being premeditated that he was going to murder her - no chance he would have let her go or 'just' exposed himself in a police uniform.

I checked this with one of my friends who works for the MET. They advise you to leave your uniform at work and for safety reasons but no one actually stops you from taking it home...... so he could well have been wearing his uniform
I feel like, and anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but the same thing rarely happens when tragedy happens to men. "Imagine if it were your son/brother etc."Absolutely. We always seem to say 'she' is someone's daughter/wife/ mother/sister, etc. As if a woman's value must be attached to someone else to give it any worth. What if 'she' isn't any of the former. It's seems her value as a woman would be considered pretty low
People say it like it makes them sound more empathetic but its an incredibly bizarre way to need to frame something.
Maybe the parents are too distraught and he feels more able to speak coherently?
Ok I got you - sorry to jump on your comment in particular - it's more a general why are we doing this than just at you
It's just the whole conversation that everyone has in cases like these - why are we questioning every minute of her movements and not analysing every second of his instead - so frustrating
I used to live in Clapham - walked around there all the time - would have never walked home on my own past 11/12 but 9/9.30 I wouldn't have even given it a second thought - that's still so early and it's such a busy area.
Has he officially spoken or just tweeted? I imagine the immediate family are distraught and probably can’t think of anything worse than speaking right now
Probably because her parents are barely functioning humans right now.
It seems like the case was well-publicised in the area, and since it is an adult woman I do think there's a bit of a difference. It seems like there's usually more child that when a child is abducted that they're alive, so the parents speaking is there to appeal to anyone who may know anything and the potential criminal. With an adult is different as sad as it is to say, there's a lot less sympathy and I think we can see that from comments in other places
Probably incapable of doing anything apart from crying and being sick etc. That poor family will never be alright again, I feel so sorry for them. Hopefully he'll never be free ever again.
Honestly, they will never ever recover from this. You will never get closure, there will always be questions, what ifs, nightmares, memories. There will always be so many trigger points, I just can't even imagine what the future will look like for them. It is so so so unfair, cruel and unexpected.
Yep, because women's only worth is in their relationships and the only way men can empathise with them being human is to relate them to their own family (see 'as a father of daughters, I am outraged at...')
That would be going through my mind too. One of my best mates he used to live five minutes from town. After a night out he'd always say he is alright to walk home. But even as a guy I didn't like the idea of him even making that short walk alone after a night drinking in the dark in the early hours of Sunday morning so would make him pop in the taxi. It's for piece of mind just to be safe and this is male to male so I totally understand females it's far less safe.
We don't know but presumably she ended up in the car by force or as a result of manipulation/power play.
No we don’t know anything it’s just all speculation. It might not have been at her own will.
I can’t stop thinking about this poor girl. It’s consumed my thoughts all week 
Does anybody know when the cause of death and what actually happened will be public? Is it before the trial or only after/during?

I've done some simple Facebook sleuthing and I do feel for his wife and their families, her profile is being overrun with all sorts of comments by strangers. I know she may have had something to do with it but it's not confirmed, and even if she did it could be as small as giving him an alibi.

I think this is a great misconception. Plenty of men / teenage men get stabbed/killed etc walking alone at night in London it’s not reported as much, normally classed as gang watergate or something. that’s my personal opinion. I do totally agree that many more women are targeted, and have to suffer and endure more than we do - unfortunately it’s the society and country we live in. When I lived in Australia, Sydney - walking around at night on your own always felt perfectly safe. Given this coppers age, I would prob suggest this isn’t his first victim and more will come out. I do wonder if he had stalked or targeted her though. Most likely.
