    Well, yes, but then they could have left the swords and the bag at home....

    I have just discovered a µ key on my keyboard. Awesome.

    I would have thought checking she was out of the country would have been more sensible TBH.

    What a horrible way to go.

    Expect to see them on an episode of "UK Dummest Criminals"

    Firstly, how tulip were this pair. They documented the crime they were about to commit. Also, did they have Alzheimer’s or something? Why did they need to write themselves such pointless notes.

    "tulip what are we doing in this woman’s house? What should we do now? Oh yes (uncrumples paper). Kill Joss and get the money from the safe"

    Finally, why when you have a dead body in your car, do you then start to look for a river to dump it in? Surely find a suitable stretch of water when your time is not at as much of a premium as it might be when you are trundling around the countryside with a dead and leaking corpse of a pop start in your tiny Fiat!


    Sounds like a game of extreme geocaching. I thought we all played it during the breaks between Dexter seasons.

    Which was their undoing.

    I don't think they did. They didn't even make it as far as breaking in. Definitely not a couple of criminal masterminds.

    Scum bag hanged himself in gaol about 6 weeks before he was due to let out on license.

    No consideration.

    He could have done it 9 years earlier & saved the country a small fortune.
    What happened to her?
