It's stupid to reveal details if that might jeopardise an ongoing investigation. On the other hand, if they say nothing, when the story is revealed, the social media super sleuths and conspiracy theorists blame them for a cover up. It's a no win situation. All will be known in the future, but there's no obligation to provide the general public with information at this stage. People think everything is an episode of "CSI", where a crime happens and is wrapped up in one cosy one hour episode. They need to grow up a little.

Utter fools flooded the area, trespassing in some cases, speculating online.. and none of it was true.. they get in the way of it. This need for instant gratification is a blight on society these days. Police give these non committal press conferences to stop the numpties of this world, including those in the press and media, from jumping the gun.

Basically they've been charging people for cremations but not cremating anyone, the bodies were still in cold storage. People have been given some kind of ashes and led to believe that's their relatives. The thing I'm curious about is what were they going to do with the actual bodies eventually.

To those of you finding humour in this, you’re just as twisted as the funeral home and directors who take part in these offences.

[@colinpryor4290]

Sounds like the problems go way beyond this company and their funeral parlours and I'm guessing that this might be a pointer to a much bigger problem. Part of the problem is that the funeral industry in the UK is a business that seems to skate by all supervision and monitoring because no-one wants to think or talk about what they do. It's time to bring that subject into the light. At the time, I remember reading about the staff at a certain nationwide co-operative funeral home back in the 80's in Glasgow who were abusing the bodies of the deceased in the most gross and despicable way imaginable, including one member of staff who used the deceased for crossbow practice. These animals were dealt with by the courts but press stories were extremely limited and I recently went looking for the articles in archive, without success. Unlike the fairly recent scandal surrounding the Aberdeen Crematorium. The horrors that went on at that establishment for decades, the criminals involved in the indecencies of handling the bodies of young children and babies, the lies told to grieving parents and the clear corruption and criminality that certain Aberdeen City Council staff played in this horror story are well documented. The only thing that really survives to this day of the criminality that went on for so long is the memorial to the hundreds of lost children that was built in Hazelhead Park as a sop to the distraught families. How these people can live with themselves and look in the mirror each day is beyond me. I can only hope for peace for these poor families that are clearly living in a shadow world at the moment.

Why wouldnt they? The police are at all the properties they are investigating - You can only be held for 24 hours and then 36 hours if extended - they dont have enough information to charge so they get bailed - this is literally how investigations happen. If they were likely to absconed then they would need to keep extending their PACE clock but they dont believe that and they know where they live, so they get bailed.

[@Lemingtona-x5g]

@@spudspuddy think its more than that

[@mariahoulihan9483]

Police bail goes by lawful guidelines under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. Its to do with interference with evidence (ie the police here obviously think they have secured all they need, that can include computers and written matter as well as any equipment or the bodies, hate to say). Also the risk of fleeing the jurisdiction.. that is obviously not a concern.. plus other matters such as danger to witnesses. If none of those and other matters are involved the law does not allow police to deny Police Bail. Its normal to grant bail in the absence of those risks while an investigation continues. It can include do not enter certain areas or keep to curfews.. its wide reaching. It would be unlawful to detain someone further and deny bail unless there is firm evidence to state otherwise. that is why. Even some simple cases, where for instance, statements have to be taken from several witnesses it can take a few weeks. In a larger complex enquiry it can take a longer time. Bail can be extended or cancelled at any time and also those arrested can be released with no charges. That is the nature of all enquiries into any allegation.
