Terrible news. We've viewed a few articles on The Age, online. Public interest is through the roof. "Reading this now" counts are like 750 to 3500 depending on time of day.
It's apparent that the police have their man. You just have this feeling that he's a "dead man walking". You get that feeling that someone will take care of this person on the inside.
Hopefully for the community, the alleged perpetrator in this article is the same guy who is already in custody.

Terrible news indeed.
Been following the case for a few days, but the worst has happened...
Hope the scum gets it in jail.
Terribly sad story.
Sad fact is though that people have invested so much more emotion because she's a pretty, successful woman in a trendy area.
Ugly people go missing everyday and no-one gives 2 hoots.
That's the world we live in.

/PS in case the thread blows up, please don't mention the accused in any way. Police appealing to keep him out of media, twitter, interwebz so they have a better shot in court.
I don't know about that,I believe we all would react in the same way no matter what the victim looked like,just we don't hear about a girl walking home and getting ****** raped and murdered every day,I'm sure this is not a daily event!
The justice system needs to lock this creep up for life not the first time this sicko gym jock has raped a defenceless female.
I agree with the first bit Dave, but you lost me with the second bit. I could see where you were going, but "going missing" is a completely different kettle of fish to finding a body and doing preliminary assessments for an alleged rape.
DIFFERENT BALL PARKS. NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEUGUE.
Some people can choose to "go missing". It seems that 'Jill' did not choose her destiny.
I reluctantly say this next part... but a prettier lady is going to be more appealing to a sexual predator.
The next phase is all about the police evidence. Nobody is guilty yet.
PS - if you want to change the topic and discuss Missing Persons, then start a new thread. And yes, I agree, Missing Persons is also a significant issue for the community.
cannot for a second imagine what bad bad land that poor bloody husband would be in right now , he would have been turned over by the police as part of investigations , been worried out of his mind about his soulmate , been trying to keep his shizz together during all of it - then he gets the final cruel kick in the face Also give my sympathies to the respective families in this one.
