Re: Maidan Vale murder
It doesn't. It says he was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Might seem strange for the police to arrest somebody they praise as a hero but hopefully common sense will prevail in terms of the decision to charge, or not to charge with any offence.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
It’s Maida Vale and he hasn’t been charged, he has been arrested on suspicion of murder which is perfectly understandable whilst the police investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident.conyoviejo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 4:03 pmhttps://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-n ... s-22851841

If the circumstances surrounding the incident are as reported in a local newspaper, then it’s highly unlikely he will be charged with murder, I suspect.

They wouid have no alternative but to arrest him on suspicion of murder. Hopefully in time that will be dropped once a full investigation has been carried out.

And yes,he hasn't been charged yet. Memo to oneself to digest the article before getting on my high horse and hopefully the police will see sense .

Re: Maidan Vale murder
Shows how easy it is to spread fake news and the narrative that comes with it doesn’t it. And did the police praise him as a hero? I find that hard to believe.
I would have thought it perfectly normal for someone who deliberately kills another person to be arrested on suspicion of murder in the first instance, until a full investigation has taken place. The fact that he’s been released on bail suggests that common sense will prevail.
Re: Maidan Vale murder
The poor deceased woman’s family have praised the guy in the car for his actions, which is nice. If the killer hadn’t have stabbed her so many times the driver’s actions could have saved her life. So awful for this to happen on our streets. RIP lady.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
He will be charged with manslaughter and a court of law will decide his fate. I assume he will be claiming the right of self-defence to another person. however, you still can only use reasonable force. Would driving a vehicle at someone who has then died be deemed to be excessive force. that would be a decision for a jury in my experience to make.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
A truly shocking incident.
I don’t know the finer details of the case, but I’ll be very interested to see what the outcome is for the driver.
Regarding use of force, it has to be reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances. It should hopefully be relatively straight forward for the driver to explain his actions upon witnessing deadly force being used on another.
RIP to the lady.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
Better to have done what he did than just let the guy carry on repeatedly stabbing her. He wasn’t to know that the guy had stabbed her so badly that she couldn’t be saved. It must have been a desperate situation for all in the vicinity not knowing how to stop this crazed killer or being fearful of doing so. As I said earlier, this driver could have saved her life. Pity he didn’t.
Re: Maidan Vale murder
I know of an incident in Croydon many years ago where a Police unit was called to a male high on drugs in street attacking members of the public with a knife.pushpinpussy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 4:30 pmHe will be charged with manslaughter and a court of law will decide his fate.

The driver, upon arriving at scene, decided to use his vehicle to ram the suspect, who went over the bonnet. No doubt due to the drugs, he jumped back up again as if nothing had happened.
He was only stopped by being rammed again, and being pinned between the Police car and a parked car.
I would quite happily argue that upon witnessing a female being stabbed to death, the force the driver has used in trying to stop the suspect is proportionate.
Re: Maidan Vale murder
Fighting with knives used to be a sign that you were really weak. The changing culture and demographic of Britain in the last 20 years or so has meant they are now seen as some sort of status symbol amongst some a bit like a Rottweiler. As for the driver I am sure common sense will prevail.

Apparently not. One of his wheels was on top of her jacket but eye witnesses said the car didn’t hit her.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
It’s incidents like this that mean I would just drive away and not get involved.
A colleague who I worked with with, you was a trained first responder, gave CPR to a lady who had collapsed until the ambulance arrived. He did break two of her ribs in the process.
She took him to court for inappropriate touching and assault for breaking her ribs. The court only threw out the case when both paramedics testified to say he saved her life. His life was unbearable for 9 months until it went to court.
This poor person is now in that same unfortunate position, if charged, could lose his job, his house etc for trying to be a Good Samaritan.
I agree with everyone else, this should be a quick chat with the CPS and him released from his bail conditions.

Re: Maidan Vale murder
I have had a read of the reports of what happened.
I fear the guy is going to be in real trouble.
In the UK we changed the laws to accept if you fear for your own life then self defence using deadly force would be a defence.
This poor guy has used deadlY force when his life was not in danger, he was in a secure tin box and not under threat.
Pretty sure this will end up in front of a jury as the law is not on his side.

- common law
- section 3 criminal law act
- 117 of Police and Criminal Evidence Act (Pace)
- Human Rights
What I suspect you are referring to in your post is use of force when applying it under Common Law.
In this instance, the driver will be using Section 3 Criminal Law Act. It states:
A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime, or in effecting or assisting in the lawful arrest of offenders or suspected offenders unlawfully at large.

Will the arrest stay on his police record even if he isn’t charged? Could it show up on a dbs check for example?

However, if not charged you can apply to get it removed. I believe you apply to the Police Service that arrested you, and it’s considered on a case by case basis.

Odd because a friend of mine was accused of rape and went to court over it and it never showed on his record after he was found innocent.
He became a care worker later on in life and it never showed on any DBS checks he's had over the years.

What he won’t have will be any offending history. I imagine this will just be blank.
I regularly come across young lads who have obviously been arrested at some point, but the matter has been NFA’d, which means I can’t see what they were arrested for.
You could ask your mate to chase it up with whatever force arrested him, maybe?
I’m not too clued up with DBS checks, but isn’t there standard and enhanced? Could be that your friend only had a standard DBS check, which is why his arrest didn’t show?

It was 20yrs ago now, since his court case, so he doesn't really need to chase it up if there is/was anything there, it's never caused an issue with him working.

Surely it isn't the driver/accused that chooses which law he will be charged with? It will be the CPS won't it? And if they choose to charge him they will choose a law that will achieve their objectives, presumably a conviction.
