She was a politician. It is the most obvious characteristic of the victim.

Such a nanny state. Now you're not allowed to discuss a murder and speculate who might have done it.
@
The suspect is white was all over their press release, I hope that the ethnic identity of every suspect is going to be released on day 1 of an investigation.

Deliberate misinformation ie. disinformation.
@
They have deliberately gaslit the public !
@
Number 10 told them what to say.....and the police followed their orders.
@
I think many people felt it the last straw when young Henry Nowak bled to death due to Police negligence etc. Nobody trusts the Police any more
@
The police should have said “No motive is ruled out at this stage”, but instead the ACC displayed their prejudices by making statements dismissing political or terrorist motives in the murder of a Reform politician. Funny that. 🤔

This is third time the police this year the police have shown what a shower they are. There was the murder of Henry Nowak bring arrested as he died telling them he'd been stabbed and couldn't breathe, which wasn't divulged until months after his murder. Then recently the young British 20 year old who was attacked and knocked to the floor by black youths. Instead of going after the black youths, the policewoman runs at the young man (who is trying to stand up., swears foul language at the lad and arrests 'him'. Fortunately the whole thing was caught on camera.

All these journalists were so happy they could refer to the attacker being a white British national they forgot to do any actual journalism and investigate for themselves and view statements by authority critically, not like establishment lap dogs
@
What do you mean loose confidence, it's already gone.
@
Everyone could tell the police were trying to manipulate/gaslight the public. How can the public, as 'uninformed' as they apparently are, still have a better sense for these crimes than the actual police if not for ideological capture?
@
0:00 Yeah I think that's happened a few times already.

If they don't know then all they need to say is "We don't know." Or "We don't know yet."

People have confidence in the police?
That’s news to me.

Clearly taking their direction from the Nudge Unit.
@
I have no confidence in our police for the last few years
@
No it’s not difficult, just tell the bloody truth or say nothing until they have the FACTS.
@
But they don't give the ethnicity when they're not white, remember when they referred to that Ethiopian man that was at staying at the Epping Hotel, he had been in the UK for 5 days and the police and the media referred to him as "an Epping man has been arrested" for SA, not a Black Ethiopian asylum seeker, so that's a big fat lie.
@
All the police had to say was
" We're following all lines of inquiry."

The phrase you are looking for is; This is an early stage in our investigations, nothing has been ruled in and nothing has been ruled out.
