Unfortunately the media has become an unstoppable juggernaut in this case. There is no editorial discernment going on here any more. It's just a feeding frenzy, and none of them are in any hurry to give due consideration to Portuguese procedures.

Robert Murat was - and still is - a formal suspect. It doesn't mean he did it. It doesn't mean the mother did it either (whatever 'it' is).

Of course, the other problem is that there is a hang 'em high brigade - some of whom are members of this forum - who seem to think that the mere interest of the police equates to a conviction.
