Missing Polish woman found murdered in Chesterton, UK [27]
same as they did with van der sloot whos all over the TV and the only reason they didnt get him in hollaway case the first time is lack of evidence.
Yeah that has been a total cock-up. Not the UK though (thankfully).
in the article is says-Officers are continuing to appeal for witnesses who saw anything
so no witnesses, they dont even have the body identified yet, and they are holding this guy to the murder??
They probably have some witnesses and evidence but they'll want more and as much as they can possibly get. Better to have 10 witnesses saying one thing rather than just the first one they find. It all helps towards a conviction.
As for the ID - they'll know who she is for sure but it's required here to have a formal identification made by a NOK or similar.
In the case of Elzbieta Kinczyk, they wouldn't have arrested the guy having no evidence but they really don't publish what that evidence is in the press. A press release will likely just say someone has been arrested in the case of whatever the crime was and maybe when they'll first appear in court. The police here only release a bit of evidence info if it's going to help them by doing so. Otherwise they keep it close to their chests. Usually most things come out at the court case.
