Away for hour and a half and the the shit has it the fan!! Still unsure of the basics here

Is he being charged with the murder or in connection with the murder?

Charged with murder MR

[RedHand88]

He had a YouTube 'live' entitled The Violent Night on the night of the 18th December. Shows him playing GTA but comments on the video are saying it is clearly prerecorded

Also has a social media post on new years eve saying 2022 was the worst year of his life and we'd have no idea what he went through, saying he'd never be the same again. Has been tweeting steady throughout January

It's mental. How did the PSNI miss this?

Well, they didn't.

Eh? 6 weeks later they charged him, having initially declared him no longer a suspect. Some major u-turn.

First of all he was never a suspect, he was a person of interest. Since then, other evidence like the phone has come to light and they have chosen the right moment to charge him. You can't just charge people with something like murder based on a hunch!

If we charged every person who posted something like that on NYE the prisons would be overflowing

He was the first person arrested.

I take it, from a little look on his profile, related to the McCulla haulage firm

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Digital editor on his fb as opposed to journalist?

For the belfast telegraph?

Going by his fb profile yes

[Milltown Row2]

There's a lad Pickering on his profile page now just throwing in all sorts of comments "murdering bastard" and sticking up links to Belfast live

That's smart.... Anything posted on social media can be used by the defence to try and get the case thrown out...

Exactly. Let the law run it's course.

Just immensely sad for the family the whole thing.

That's what's i was thinking.. Though seen the name is actually McCullagh, so probably not McCulla transport

He'd staged a broadcast the night she died to give alibi?

Some of those posting on his fb page....like seriously...but then when I see their profiles I'm not really surprised

Now why haven't I thought of that. Seriously though comments like that on Facebook very unlikely to taint the jury pool
