Very true. So who's responsible for this decision and why was it made after all the previous goings on? As a genuine attempt to solve a crime? Has powerful (even political) pressure been brought to bear behind the scenes? Or is this just a way of demonstrating how thorough they've been and covering their backs in a high profile case? If this sort of thing isn't being routinely practised in similar, albeit less well known, unsolved cases, it seems to me the upper echelons of the Police may be behaving like politicians.
