This doc ignores the fact that her boyfriend violated the protection order twice and the police failed to protect her from that ass boyfriend .

[@LordMarvin1993]

Maybe he said they were racist

[@TiffyVella1]

Instead of a golden hour when it's too late to do anything there should have been a golden hour after the first phone call, when a man who already had a history of stalking was repeating that behaviour. Police need to see murder as the logical outcome of stalking, when perpetrators are taught that there are no consequences. Statistics across many countries, where women are murdered by controlling ex/partners show this to be a repeating pattern.

[@the_ravens_room]

@@TiffyVella1 Yesssssss. This doc should have been about their errors in protecting Alice and how they are going to change their procedures to protect future victims. But alas, we get self glorifying tripe.

They had more than an hour to catch her killer. She had been reaching out to the police for help against the man who killed her for awhile.

[@6Haunted-Days]

Ah just do you know……before the cops can do anything something kinda ya know……HAS TO HAPPEN. The times he had contacted her there was no proof…..if he had even touched her they could’ve arrested him for assault….. What exactly you think they were supposed to get him on and…..yea …. Kinda silly if you don’t think stuff thru. Isn’t it? 🙄🤣 Also…..if a man wants you dead? Ain’t cops gonna stop him ain’t NOTHING stopping him…. Her days were marked….cuz guess what? HE WANTED TO KILL HER. I’d know I lived it …..YEARS if abusive marriage then YEARS of being stalked … Ended up running me over …..he’s in prison……but he’ll get out….. If a guy is dead set on killing you, he’s GONNA do it.

[@colinjava8447]

I know what the solicitor said... "Say no comment to everything", what else can he say? Despite the evil of the crime, I don't see the sense in it, who wants to be locked up for god knows how many years? He was blatantly not gonna get away with it, not when he's been placed in the area at the time of the attack. He's either a moron or wasn't bothered about rotting in prison (or both).

[@TheLadylexy]

Completely senseless. He could have got on with his life and she got on with hers. Instead, not only did he end her life, he ruined his own.

[@cosmicsquirrel7642]

He'll probably be out in under 15.

[@bassacoustic1549]

That’s one thing I really don’t understand at all. As evil as the lunatics in these cases are, you’d think they wouldn’t want to throw their own life away in the process. I guess they are so full of hate that they act impulsively. They’re blinded by bitterness and unable to see a life without being in the relationship they miss. Lots of obsessive types out there. Such a huge difference between a healthy relationship and a controlling, suffocating type of relationship. Very sad, and in this particular case with Alice Ruggles, abysmal policing. Truly terrible. She sounded so lost and disappointed during her second phone consultation with them, where she didn’t even have a specific officer on her case and it all seemed to be treated so casually. They should’ve given her adequate protection from the guy who was clearly obsessive and a threat.

[@SimonMcGrath-x2x]

Sir Trevor was a brilliant news reader and interviewer. I remember this series. Here's a young man in the army with his whole life ahead of him and rejection caused him to fly into a rage of how dare u say no to me.

What an awful hard hitting documentary my heart goes out to her family and friends so sad ❤️

[@tylerskiss]

The whole reason Alice broke up with him was he was cheating on her on Tinder! This pos cheats on Alice, gets caught, harasses the hell out of her (they barely touched on the stalker behaviors and the freaky messages), she begs police multiple times to help, not only do they not help, but they literally tell Harry she’s reported him which threatens some kind of security clearance he had, so they threw petrol on an already out of control fire and then they abandoned her. So because of his own actions, Harry decides to try and get Alice back one more time and with mere minutes to spare he slits her throat and escapes right before the flatmate returns home. This case is sickening in so many ways and no matter how proud they are for solving the case that literally had a blood trail from victim to perp, Alice is dead due to their inaction in the first place.

Great doc showing the power of the golden hour. Such a disturbing case. She might be a DCI but Lisa Theaker never said please or thank you once to any of her colleagues.

Then they put plastic bags on his hands at one police station only to take him to another station without the bags on before they finally got around to swabbing them and cutting his nails 😵‍💫! I didn’t even see them take photos of the scratch on his face, neck and perhaps his ear 👂!Then….most importantly, they only have 24 hours to investigate the evidence and charge him?! Wtf is that? 24 hours is not enough time to investigate a stolen piece of candy! If they couldn’t charge him, they would have had to let a murderer go! Why are the laws so crazy 😜 there? In the US he would rot in a jail cell until they built up a case against him. After that, he’d rot until trial without bail.

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

24 hours is in accordance with PACE to prevent the police from holding someone indefinitely when they may be innocent. It is not uncommon for the police to arrest someone and they be found to be innocent of the crime. In all cases if the police have enough evidence, they can get a 12 hour extension from the Magistrates. I do agree though that they should routinely have that 36 hours anyway, given that forensic results can take 48 hours, and then be able to apply for an extension of 12 hours.

The difference between a normal person when the girlfriend decides to end the relationship is to walk away, cry and then move on, the Psychopath cannot move on and then tries the nice flowers /chocolate way and if that does not work, hassling and if that does not work then the end result is no one is having you. Psychopaths have good careers and look intelligent and smart, not always what the media portrays in Films. Ted Bundy is a perfect example. I would always advise people to Google their full name and see what comes up. Might save your life.
