Arrest in Tina Satchwell disappearance case

It doesn't have to meet legal threshold for probable cause. This is just an internet forum where people speculate, often randomly.

I think he killed her, brought her remains to a lock up unit in the car, or perhaps a shallow grave in Castlemartyr Woods, and then reported her missing.

The Guards must have searched the Grattan St house, perhaps even with sniffer dogs, and found nothing. The Guards say that the covering wall was not built at that time.

He would then have brought the body back to the house during the course of renovation works, and buried her. Either he, or a contractor, would have built the wall covering over the stairwell area. If it was a contractor I'm sure they did not know that a body was buried there. He then sold his car in case there was any forensic evidence to be gotten from it.

He would never have been able to move house, in case the next occupants discovered the body. He would have got away with it except for the neighbouring house was finally occupied after years of being derelict. The houses apparently share pipes, and the neighbours complained of a terrible smell during the course of their renovation works. Drain specialists were brought in to clear the blocked drain, and found evidence of human remains.

I don't blame the Guards in this case. Lock up units are notorious for not keeping accurate records (its in their interests not to) so perhaps they just didn't know about the lock up. This lad was smart, but also had a bit of luck on his side. Well, until now.

They have been embalmed, had bodily fluids drained etc, not to mention the fact that you are outside in a graveyard with plentiful air movement versus in an enclosed space inside a house with much more limited ventilation.

I’d say there’s lots of details we don’t know and that news reports and people like us on boards.ie are only speculating about.

There’s a lot of “fake news” and barstool “he said she said” stuff.

The real story will come out in due course.

Anyway.. the main thing is ..justice looks like it’s finally coming for Tina RIP.

Might I additionally say I never once said the guards should dig up the floor. I said specifically several times they should and could have camera scoped that wall to reveal fresh concrete hole the other side.

You've ignored that with each post.

?? That's exactly my point.

Everyone on the internet "knowing" what happened is no use to the Gardai and won't impress a judge being asked to sign a warrant.

Again you've ignored all of my posts. Exploratory work on the block/brick wall would have shown a fresh concrete hole covered up. Which would warrant further questioning of the suspect.

Any responses would have required receipts to back up his story.

All gaping holes exposing himself further.

It could have lead for a proper warrant to start a dig at the time.

That's the reality. Not making excuses for poor gardai protocol.

For you there are no lessons here. Which is bizarre...

Terminology aside. Evidently a freshly built wall in a house with a missing person and 1 spouse in a location that doesn't require a wall would be worthy of seeking a warrant.

There's a large amount of giving the guards the benefit of doubt in this thread. For what reason no idea. They majorly dropped the ball here.

But the neighbours house being surveyed presumably with some kind of lazer picked up something odd? How in the name of Christ could the Gardai not do this or even one more sophisticated? Whatever way it’s spun this isn’t a great outcome for AGS and would give me very little confidence tbh

This thread is full of Colombo's and Poirot's. Can yis not wait until we hear the correct story.

I cam imagine many locals believed he was just an innocent man, that there was always a pint and a sympathetic ear down the pub waiting for him, that at Christmas he'd have his fair share of well wishes, and bottles gifted to the '' poor man'' . I wonder how those people feel now.

I wonder had he bought the plasterboard and cement in advance.

Do you honestly believe they had a warrant to search his house in the first place?

You don't need one if you get the persons permission

There's no law against naming someone, it's just a curtosy

He has been charged

Now in before the lock
