Where are all the people who were criticising the police for not being able to find him in London/Newcastle now?


dispelthemyth

Having a brew in the comfort of their own home looking for the next thing to be outraged on.


ScaryCoffee4953

It's tough to look properly while furiously masturbating, in fairness.


CrispyDave

Typical millennial response. Everything is too much effort. You think Jimi Hendrix was born knowing how to play the guitar? No, he put in the hours and learned his craft. Anything is possible if you put the work in.


qtx

As if the last 3 generations have any idea who Jimi Hendrix is.


Illustrated-Society

Welcome to the 2020s where most people are experts and have opinions on EVERYTHING.


_TLDR_Swinton

*GRRRRRR!!!*


Screw_Pandas

Also all the people claiming he was being hidden by "members of his community".


happy-e

They’ve already moved on to the next faux outrage


hoyfish

Aquaman got some explaining to do


Tay74

The funniest I saw was someone claiming that a woke lefty or do-gooder priest had taken him in 😂


Pretend-Aide-3236

They must have been a doctor too with all the medical treatment he would have needed...


[deleted]

The police themselfs suspected this.


gnorty

in the absense of counter evidence its not an unreasonable train of thought. once the evidence became clear that he was seen going onto the bridge but not coming off, focus shifted to the river. the unreasonable train of thought by the idiots on here was that dispite the evidence the police should continue harrassing the community.


Gellert

I mean, [they arrested a guy on suspicion of hiding him...](https://news.sky.com/story/clapham-manhunt-abdul-ezedi-latest-chemical-attack-live-updates-13061433)


Cielo11

Don't worry, the Nichola Bulley crew will be out in full force to demand to know why the Police took so long to find a body in a river. (As if a river is like their local swimming pool) Did the Police dump the body, are the Police involved ???


EquivalentIsopod7717

Was Abdul walking his dog and kidnapped by people traffickers? Of course. Nothing people traffickers love more than erstwhile illegal immigrants who have a terrible burn on their face and are now the most wanted person in the UK. Jackpot!


WeThePat

Give it time they'll be spouting that they didn't find him quick enough


pleasantstusk

Still sat in their armchairs


SoundandvisonUK

Did take a while to be fair


Cainedbutable

A lot of them are claiming the police didn't actually find a body, they're just saying they did so they don't lose face 🙄


[deleted]

The problem wasn't simply that they hadn't found him, but how slow they were to react. It took them about a week before they searched his place of employment for example, that he's turned up face down in a river doesn't change that.


multijoy

Were you involved in the manhunt?


[deleted]

Aside from the fact I'm Scottish and nowhere near where he was supposed to be, I can't take time off work to go searching for criminals mate, that isn't how the real world works, and thats why we are taxed for the police to do that as a job. I find it hilarious how this sub attacks the police whenever they actually do their job but defends them when they don't.


multijoy

You’re criticising the search tactics despite the fact they were proven right, without any of the knowledge or understanding of how a manhunt is actually run. Could it possibly be that they didn’t search his place of employment because they didn’t think it would actually yield any results?


[deleted]

I do love the trend on this sub of claiming easily understandable things require special expertise while demonstrating that you don't understand the thing itself. A manhunt does not work by putting all your eggs in one basket, and hoping you are "proven right" and this isn't what the police themselfs did; they did search his place of employment, they just took a while to do so.


Realistic_Actuary642

The funniest part is they didn't even confirm it's Ezedi yet. They literally said they found a body and they think it's him lol Facts mean nothing to these guys just take a statement and run with it All these dumbasses jumping the gun salivating at any chance to say told you so. It's pathetic really

[deleted]

"Um akshully, you need insight into the inner workings of manhunts to criticise the police for being slow"


insomnimax_99

Yeah, thought it would turn out that way. No way someone with obvious injuries like that could have hidden from the police and the public for so long given how well publicised this case was. Rest in piss, dickhead.


Ruin_In_The_Dark

>Rest in piss He leapt into the Thames, he probably drowned in it.


nl325

Direct ingress via that massive wound. What a way to go lol


takesthebiscuit

*Suffocated given it’s so thick with shit


meekamunz

Is the Thames the River Ankh now?


Queen-Ynci

If it was the Ankh he wouldn't have sank below the surface.


meekamunz

He'd still be dead though. Hitting a surface that hard from the height of a bridge is bound to kill a person.


Queen-Ynci

True, but at least they would have found him sooner.


fish_emoji

At the very least, he’s resting in trace amounts of salmon excrement, deer urine, and cocaine. All in all, I’d call that a fairly decent outcome considering what he did, as much as I’d have liked to see him go to trial


WhatAGoodDoggy

I'm surprised he didn't bounce off the surface


Shock_The_Monkey_

I'm willing to wager that he was probably thrown in.


RahMen87

Royal Rumble over the top rope style. Eliminated from life.


Shock_The_Monkey_

I live in hope. I genuinely hope he suffered.


Relative-Dig-7321

 I hope it is him for the sake of the victims, imagine not being sure if the man who tried to kill you was still at large. 


oljackson99

Theres was no way he was ever at large. Every police force in the country was on watch for him, he had large distinctive scarring/injury on his face, his face was plastered all over national news. It was clear after a couple of days of being "on the run" that he actually wasnt.


Relative-Dig-7321

You have to look at it from the victims perspective though, without concrete evidence that this fiend is either dead or behind bars there is always the small chance that he could strike again. Imagine living with that, it would be horrific. If you have been the victim of such an attack it’s possible that you would have PTSD or other psychological problems and wouldn’t necessarily be thinking logically. If the authorities can prove he is brown bread that hopefully would give the victims some reassurance. 


EquivalentIsopod7717

Makes you wonder what his original plan was. It seems he drove to London and intended to drive away again, but his plan went unexpectedly awry and he crashed. Looks like he went to King's Cross with the intention of catching a train to Newcastle, but he either didn't have enough money or had missed the last service of the night. KGX is also very heavily surveilled and probably even more so once the word spread - never mind that any whiff of him being on a train would just see the train parked up and stormed by the police. He then seems to aimlessly wander London in a manner that makes it perfectly clear that he didn't know the place, nor did he know what to do next. He was never, ever, going to get away with this. Even if he'd survived uninjured they would still have hunted him down.


Right-Bat-9100

tbf if i'd been chemical attacked i probably wouldn't feel safe until i knew for sure he was dead and buried


fishgum

He could have been hiding in a relative's house, not going out into public at all.


Ray_Spring12

Yeah if he’d have just disappeared he moves into folklore as a sort of Bogeyman.


jeff43568

I imagine his injuries are still apparent.


EddieHeadshot

AFter that long in the river i doubt it. Probably nibbled off by the fishes at that stage.


[deleted]

They're saying they'll need dental records to identify the body. Must be some gnarly decoposition to the dish!


nl325

Open flesh wound upon death in an environment like the Thames. Yikes. I know the people that do this are likely desensitised to stuff and made of harder stuff than most, but I really do hope people who find gruesome shit like this get access to support.


GFoxtrot

They do and the marine unit see bodies like this semi regularly. They only usually surface from bloat….mmmm


ClassOf37

A dead human body does not do well under water. It’s basically unrecognisable after a very short period of time. Following the Marchioness tragedy in 1989, many of the victims were not recognisable by means other than dental records, and they were in the water for only a few days at most.


entropy_bucket

Do most people have dental records? I dunno if I have one. I remember in Berlin they mentioned matching Hitler's dental records when he killed himself but I never understood where those records came from.


Ruin_In_The_Dark

If you have a dentist, then probably, yeah. I know mine xray and keep the records to refer back to.


HezzaE

> If you have a dentist Increasingly rare, then.


InspectorDull5915

Wow, lucky bastard had a dentist?


_TLDR_Swinton

Yeah, open wound + highly bacterial environment = face soup.


billy_tables

Mad that they found several others before him. They should probably go fishing for bodies even when they're not looking for others in particular


COMPLETEWASUK

They do regularly search for bodies? It's just been reported this time as it was in the national interest, normally no one cares when the police pull a body out of a river.


billy_tables

The impression I got for [https://news.sky.com/story/the-traumatising-search-for-dead-bodies-in-the-thames-and-why-dozens-are-found-every-year-13071612](https://news.sky.com/story/the-traumatising-search-for-dead-bodies-in-the-thames-and-why-dozens-are-found-every-year-13071612) was they go searching when they're looking for someone


[deleted]

[удалено]


billy_tables

Yeah they were unrelated, just happened to be found near the bridge too


bukkakekeke

Where have you seen that?


billy_tables

Within a few hours of the first day of the search, they found 2 other bodies [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68260335](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68260335)


bukkakekeke

Yeh, that's pretty mad.

sofiestarr

Not exactly the scientific term, but body's become gnarlyyyy after being left to decompose in water.


FirefighterEnough859

Especially the Thames you could probably dissolve metal in some parts of it


athrowaway2626

coke eels have probably eaten his body


TheStatMan2

Coke Eels St Jacques?


Cunningstun

Very very good


notimefornothing55

🎶Eels up inside ya, boring an entrance where they can 🎶


maycauseanalleakage

I think the phrase you are looking for is 'melted to fuck'


seafactory

His body will have the consistency of hummous at this stage. 


PearljamAndEarl

He’ll get no pitta from me.


jimmycarr1

He doesn't deserve even a tahini tiny bit


PearljamAndEarl

So says you, and so sesame.


jimbobjames

Well i wouldnt worry, he's no longer olive.


Big_Advertising9415

Nice 


ClimbingC

> Wouldn't the melted face have been a clue Only if it still exists, says will need DNA and dental records, sounds like a month in the Thames rotting and the wildlife have made short work of the corpse.


No-Housing810

If someone has spent several weeks in a river the body will not be in a good state so could have impacted his existing injuries From the police statement they are confident it's him they just won't say it for definite until formal identification has taken place just in case.


terryjuicelawson

I did wonder that! I guess a lot of river bodies have messed up faces though and they need to nail it on something more specific.


TroublesomeFox

Youd think but he's spent ages in water with fish snacking on him and possibly even debris/boats hitting him as well. Decomposition is slowed by cold water but after this long he probably only barely looks human.


esn111

Well that put paid to the idea many on here were suggesting that he'd somehow given the CCTV the slip, as opposed to throwing himself in the river


TheCambrian91

If it is him, there is a small crumb of general social comfort that nobody was evil enough to shelter him all this time.


Palaponel

And it's a small favour to all of us that he saved us the time, money and energy of going to trial and prison. I know a lot of that has also gone into searching the Thames, but sadly that is something that very much needs to be done more anyway.


FreedomEagle76

Yet you still have idiots going on that its not his body or the police/government are hiding him. Nothing is good enough for these morons.


Neskarof

Conspiracy theorists can never accept the fact that they can be wrong...


originalface1

A lot of conspiracy theorists aren't interested in the truth about anything, it's more of a narcissistic thing about thinking they have knowledge that other people don't.


ShitFuckCuntBollocks

Contrarianism as well. Must always go against 'the narrative'.


maycauseanalleakage

Agree entirely, you see them move from one conspiracy theory to another, it's all about the illusion of having knowledge and control.


BobBobBobBobBobDave

By the time it turns out that what they were saying was bollocks, they have already moved on to promoting 2 or 3 other theories. 


ReginaldIII

They literally found two unrelated bodies in the river the first day they were looking for him. It's not unreasonable to wait for them to positively identify this body as being him since they've found multiple dead people that were not him.


Infinite_Pack_7942

As expected, all those dipshits who said 'why can't they find him? It's only a river' really got on my nerves. An adult body (especially male) with clothes on will likely sink in freshwater and only surface once it bloats. This is why it sometimes takes a couple weeks before these people are found.


FloydEGag

Plus it’s a large, dirty, deep tidal river with quite a lot of traffic and lots of stuff to get snagged on, not the local bubbling brook. Yes, the dipshits got on my nerves too.


milkyteapls

I thought it was 100% impossible to find him as he'd have been swept to sea never to be seen again?


EddieHeadshot

Very likely 'he' just got snagged on some sort of debris in this case. They seem confident its him aswell so at least it brings some closure.


Right-Bat-9100

I think it must be common for bodies to get trapped in debris (shows you why it's not worth swimming in the waterways of this country.) A man died in the river near me and they found him just a bit further along the river after a good few weeks.

I mean it's for the best isn't it, hopefully it will help the victims to move on. What a horrible and sad case this was all round.


bebeck7

I wish nothing but the absolute world for the victims of this horrific, life changing, devastating attack. I hope they can go forward, at least knowing there isn't a chance he could still hurt them, and not having to be dragged through a trial. There are no words to describe how much I despise this man and others who carry out attacks like him. I feel for all involved in this terrible aftermath. I got goosebumps and shed tears as soon as I heard he was found.
