regardless of who it is, a life has still been lost and a loved one has died.

As l understand it, the police are checking camera's on the Clifton Bridge, which is notorious for suicides, BUT was the poor girl found below the birdge or one the other side of the bridge on the same level, if so HOW can it be suicide - if that is what people are to be believe.

the police will find the answers -we will just have to wait ,no point in speculating

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

confirmed as murder

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

One theory being mentioned in the media is that she was strangled, and left to freeze to death, when the killer thought she had passed.

Who ever has done this crime deserves the noose - and l will gladly pull the switch.

Poor woman only 25!, who ever did it needs to be caught and thrown in jail, not the noose IMO.

Landscape architect Joanna Yeates, whose body was found on Christmas Day after she had gone missing for more than a week, died as a result of strangulation, police said on Tuesday.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

According to the police she died from strangulation, not from partial strangulation followed by freezing to death.

From martyh's link:

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

I believe a reporter on Sky News stated that there is a possibilty that who ever killed the poor girl, did it in a manner, that they believed they had ' passed' and left her where she wasa found and froze to death as a result.

We can all sumise what happened, BUT l feel that if a person can take a life, then they should forfiet there own life.

In other other countries this happens, why can't we.

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

Because it's a matter of debate if it's an effective deterrent. There is little evidence to suggest that it is. Therefore there is little upside, other than revenge, to outweigh the risk that you may kill an innocent person. Someone killing another person is sick, evil, and tragic. The state killing a (innocent) person in the name of justice manages to be even more so.

That's my opinion anyway. It's not a popular one when contrasted with an awful crime like this one but when we're talking about policy and justice we have to deal with it in an abstracted manor rather than on the back of, and in the context of, an emotional charged crime.

No Arthur what they said was that the autopsy was delayed because the body was frozen and a cause of death could not be confirmed at that time ,it has since been confirmed that the cause of death was strangulation as per my link

My own point of view re the death penalty is that whilst at the time(when we first here of these atrocoties) the kneejerk reaction is for the death penalty,but in reality the death penalty does nothing to stop murderers ,it only serves as a form of revenge for society

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

Thanks, but I was more talking about Arthur's 'media speculation'..

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

Perhaps Arthur would like to move to a country that has the death penalty for murder, rather than living in the UK & whingeing because we don't - one that doesn't suffer snow related problems, as well, perhaps - how about Iraq?

- sorry, but having a thread like this hijacked by an agenda is extremely upsetting - it is about the tragic loss of someone's daughter, not an opportunity to discuss legal policy - I find this incredibly insensitive, tbh ...

re: Vincent Tabak found guilty of murdering Jo Yeates
 

As has been said already: the autopsy results, as officially confirmed by the police, state that Joanna died due to strangulation -

No mention of partial strangulation followed by freezing to death.

This thread is about the tragic murder of Joanna Yeates. Please do not turn it into a debate about the death penalty.
