Ms Yeates was last seen on 17 December, when she is thought to have returned to the flat she shared with her boyfriend.

Greg Reardon, 27, reported her missing to police on Sunday when he returned from a weekend visiting family in Sheffield.

Her keys, mobile phone, purse and coat had been left behind at their flat.

The identity of the body has not been confirmed. A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Boxing Day, police said.

It's unlikely but you can't rule anything, or anyone, out just yet.

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.

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.

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.

He is on almost every paper, his name printed everywhere. Every paper carrying a different profile on him commenting on his career, his hair colour, his local activist work, and carrying quotes from former pupils and neighbours about this personality.

He hasn't actually been charged, much less, convicted of a crime yet.

It's the way the world is these days. Whenever a girl goes missing, if she's pretty (Holly Wells/Jessica Chapman, Madeleine McCann, Claudia Lawrence, Joanna Yates etc) the media just go mad and focus on them so intently. The fact that the accused also looks media-friendly (eccentric, wild hair, pillar-of-society) also that adds a few points.

The trouble is this is what people want to see and even for the news, ratings count so they are just filling a need. If the BBC didn't, someone else would.

Miss Yeates' landlord Chris Jefferies was arrested on Thursday, five days after her body was found in snow three miles from their Bristol flats.

The Contempt of Court Act restricts publication of information that could seriously prejudice a future trial.

Attorney General Dominic Grieve said if necessary he would take action.

In an interview for BBC Radio 4's World At One on Friday, Mr Grieve said: "We are considering what I've seen in newspapers today, and we will try to take such action as is right to ensure that the course of justice is not in any way impeded."

Former public school teacher Mr Jefferies, 65, was arrested on suspicion of murder in the flat above the one Miss Yeates had rented in Canynge Road, Bristol.

On Friday morning, police were granted a further 12 hours to question him.

Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after she was last seen on CCTV visiting an off-licence and two local supermarkets.

What do right, is to alirt people to the fact that there is a killer in there area, and dig up as much evidence as possible for the police, which they don't tell us about, What they should be allowed to do, is to tell us if there are people that have commited serious crimes in your area.

Driving across a bridge isn't a crime. *IF* the landlord was filmed driving over the bridge you can't prove he had a body in the boot.

If he denied crossing it then CCTV came to light showing driving over then that could be seen as attempting to cover up the fact he was driving over.

However Avon and Somerset Constabulary has said it is not ruling out a sexual motive in the 25-year-old's death.

The force has appealed for sightings of a 4x4 seen near to where her body was found in Failand, near Bristol.

Her landlord, Chris Jefferies, who was arrested on suspicion of her murder, has been released on police bail.

The appeal for information over the 4x4 came as police said they now believed Miss Yeates returned to her Clifton home safely on 17 December - the night she was last seen alive.
Snow-covered body

But it is still not known when her body was dumped in Longwood Lane before its discovery on Christmas Day.

Det Chief Insp Phil Jones, the senior investigating officer with Avon and Somerset Constabulary, said the 4x4 was spotted around the time Miss Yeates is believed to have disappeared.

He said: "We have had a number of reports of vehicles in Longwood Lane during the late Friday evening and early hours of Saturday morning, including a possibly light-coloured 4x4 vehicle."

"This 4x4 and the other vehicles may be completely unconnected but I urge anyone in that car or any other driver in the vicinity that night to come forward."

I truly hope the police have proper evidence to convict, and aren't using this guy as a scapegoat. i.e. all else fails, arrest the neighbor..

Sad world.
