Good on you for starting this, Mr Burns.
Do we need more CCTV -- I say Yes.

I think this case has consumed Melbournians for a week. Yes it is tragic, had they not had that CCTV, this case would not be solved.
As said, excellent job by the police, public and CCTV.

That was a private CCTV too , they had other footage but that was the main one that did the job, I'd like to see them everywhere, Govt owned to make sure we're well covered.
 
The death penalty should be brought back for cases like this.

We put dogs and cats to sleep. Save the dog, kill the human. At least the dog has a chance to bring joy to someone's life in the future.

I am sick of females in our society being abused, assaulted, raped and murdered and the perpetrator never being held to account properly.

Bleeding heart society, please line up to the left and take a number.

Just tragic and shocking and a grim reminder that you aren't safe on the streets.......ever.

They should have CCTV cameras everywhere, that's the only reason this case was solved so quickly.

This is indeed a tragic and shocking case and my heart goes out to Jills family and friends.

However i couldn't disagree more with your statement about CCTV. It's a topic for another thread however
 
Well start a new thread then Prawn, as I think its important.

CCTV is the reason this case has been solved and that guy has admitted to what he did, though I feel there is more to the story as in the other CCTV supposedly, the guy comes running towards her and a car does a U-turn -- things we would not know without CCTV.
 
Very sad to hear what happened to Jill Meagher but I'm very glad they have arrested her killer.

I'm not sure you can say it would not have been solved without CCTV. It may be that it has been solved a bit quicker but it's still quite possible that it would have been solved without the CCTV. Sadly the CCTV didn't prevent the crime from happening, which is what we need to focus on more IMO.

This isn't the time for nit picking CCTV was responsible for this bastard being in custody now, no if's or but's or maybe's . Bring it on I say.

CCTV wil prevent some of the crimes, when people see how it works they will be less inclined to act.
 
Sounds morbid, but he had less time to dispose of the body because they found him.
I am sure he would have been shocked when he saw his photo in the paper the next day.

He'll get a hard time in jail, the rest of his life will be hell.

It doesn't bring Jill Meagher back though........

R.I.P. Jill

I agree 100% with your post springhill. The person who committed this barbaric act is a sorry excuse for a human being.

You are responsible for your actions, end of story. No excuses.

In a case like this, where there is CCTV footage, witnesses, plus, maybe, an admission to this crime - why waste tax payers money locking this slim-bag up for the next ~20 years.....
 
The media have full frontal pictures of this bloke to use after his trial.

They can't use them now as identity is an integral part of the whole process and photos identifying him would be seen as a contempt of court.

(in case you ever wondered why faces aren't shown)
 
Don't know if this is allowed (will l get a warning for this??), but details of the killer are already out on the net.

Adrian Bailey Raped and Murdered Jill Meagher

Shortly afterwards, 41-year-old Adrian Bayley was charged with the rape and murder of the popular ABC Radio manager, who disappeared six days ago after spending an evening out with friends and work colleagues.

Mr Bayley did not enter a plea in the brief out of sessions court hearing, speaking only to say he understood the charges. He was wearing a navy blue shirt and jeans.

He is alleged to be the man in the blue hoodie police had been searching for since the broadcast of CCTV footage taken from within a bridal shop on a busy road in the north Melbourne suburb of Brunswick which showed Ms Meagher being beckoned to by an unidentified man.

Of all the possibilities that confronted police when Ms Meagher first went missing early last Saturday morning, this was the least likely; a genuinely random, opportunistic attack.

Police believe Mr Bayley did not know Ms Meagher, a petite, vivacious 29-year-old Irish woman who had been living and working in Melbourne for several years.

This will jeapodise the case somewhat, it cant be helped though it's already out there, geez he looks just like a normal bloke, I was exoecting a wierdo of some kind.
Up to Joe to decide the legalities but I would take it down.
 
Oh he does have form ....assualt and sex crimes.
He has to kill somene before the law can take him off the streets.........it's wrong.
 
The only thing we didnt know was his history -- videos dont lie, we already knew what he looked like, thanks to CCTV.
 
Jill Meagher case: Bolt, Twitter users warned on comment

The family and former colleagues of Jill Meagher have urged social media users not to publish prejudicial statements about the man charged with the rape and murder of the ABC employee because of fears they could impact on a future trial.

Media law experts have also warned that social media users ”” even though they have no training in media law ”” could also be sued for defamation or contempt of court over comments about the case posted on blogs, Facebook or Twitter.

Since the arrest of a 41-year old man overnight, several Facebook groups have been created attacking the accused killer ”” including one calling for his public hanging. Photos of the accused man have been published, as have comments assuming he is guilty of the crime. Highly-read conservative News Ltd commentator Andrew Bolt this morning posted a link to a blog containing information about the accused man’s background.

Mark Polden, one of Australia’s foremost media law experts, says such commentary has potentially dire consequences for the administration of justice and should be avoided.

Here is that post that has been circulating.

I wish all the "do gooders" would **** right off with "innocent until proven guilty" - he lead them to the body ****heads, is that just coincidence. Get in the real world you idiots. He raped, killed and dumped an innocent and beautiful woman who was a law abiding and contributing member of society, and he deserves fairness? **** off! He deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth in a painful manner. But instead we the tax payers will fund his life for the next couple of decades, provide him with resources such as tv, food and education. Is that justice for an innocent woman who did nothing wrong? Not in my book!

an idiot ?
 
Best thing anyone can do is not comment on the culpability of the alleged killer in this thread or anywhere else.

We need an impartial jury to decide the matter.

Similar to the argument run in the Tony Mockbel case, if the presumption of innocence is gone in the wider public then he can't be tried.
