Mod’s edit: Auto censor dodge removed. dd.

A truly shocking story and I agree that the culprits need to be caught and locked up :astonished:

No doubt Amazon will be relieved that the poor driver was not directly employed by themselves but merely a contractor; much cheaper, not their concern any more.

Callous, but true. :rage:

The culprits should be birched to within an inch of their sad lives…and then locked up for a long time

Latest news is that 3 males and a female arrested.
I used to watch US tv about 60 years ago when incidents like this were fairly typical and local shops had brick or barred windows.Here we are in modern Britain.how life has changed within my lifetime.

Chances are not one of the ■■■■ s will have a job between them, and this poor guy lost his life only for doing HIS job.

Not surprised by it. :frowning_face:

They’ll likely have a job working for a higher grade of pond life. Scum

Arrest announced.

Assuming they’ve got the right person, lets hope the prosecution can make the murder charge stick.

They have gone in with a “murder” charge straight away, not “assisting with enquiries” nor a lesser charge such as theft as a holding charge.
I think that means they are confident of having enough evidence.

Thing is these days there’s cameras everywhere.
be it doorbells phones dashcams truck cameras CCTV cameras etc.so no doubt there be footage of it all to make murder charges stick.
Makes you wonder what goes through people’s minds. As doubt theres will much resale value on contents of an Amazon van

Probs ‘got in quick’ before the predictive trouble make tweet that it was an illegal immigrant, to avoid another Southport type backlash.

Not to mention it was maybe out of relief that it actually wasn’t, …‘they’ wouldnt want even more 2 tier policing activities brought to the public attention.
