Bit scary in Didcot.....

I could really do without the details and the horrible pictures!

Yes the press have printed details of his life and even believing half of them he had a sad and disturbed life which affected him. This does not excuse in any way the actions he took but goes someway to explaining his state of mind. I did think some of the posts yesterday were lacking in compassion for all the people concerned, but perhaps that wasn't the actual point.

It is hard to imagine the pain and distress which compelled this young man to such desperate actions, but no doubt the press will furnish us with a detailed account whether we want it or not. But the little girl, an innocent victim - a total family tragedy

What a terrible story this is. How can anyone stab and murder a lovely six year old girl, and two adults. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for the family, and how their last minutes were spent. I am glad that the body of the young man involved has been found, and wonder what his state of mind was. As I said so much sadness here.

Good

Think I will!

You didn't need this as well, Alie. Hope you get a good sleep tonight.

Thanks everyone for your support on here!

Alie, relax now, it has been a scary time for you.

Very sad for everyone.

Just hear on R4 news that they havr confirmed identity as Jed Allan. What a tragedy.

BBC say body of Jed Allen found. What a tragedy. Anyway time to relax allie

It's all over now....good.
Very sad.

On BBC online, but not on Sky news there yet!

Assuming they have got it right, Sky News are reporting that the police have found his body. As I say, assuming they have the correct info.

They have been looking for him in the University Parks area in Oxford where he used t work. It's possible that he has contacts in Oxford and has persuaded/coerced someone to shelter him.

They don't think he's armed Alie, so that's one thing less to worry about!

I expect he's miles from you, Alie, as he's been seen in Oxford. The grass will still be there to be mown another day, just concentrate on helping yourself feel safe. (( hugs ))

I hope they catch him soon Alie. I agree with roses that it was a domestic murder but can perfectly understand how you feel.

I hope so. But the police helicopter is still around here, twice.

Yes they have CCTV of him in W H Smith at Oxford station. We were there a couple of days ago. I would imagine he has got on a train and is out of the area.

I now gather they think he went to Oxford? i hadn't seen that.

Alie, it's ok. He won't be anywhere local to you, as he has been seen elsewhere.It was a totally domestic murder, and a really sad case.Though I understand why you will be feeling vulnerable at the moment.I think the police will be arresting him very soon.

I wanted to mow grass but I am being paranoid about being outside just now....
I am going to have a rest for a while upstairs.

No, they didn't think I was a nuisance.
I gather that probably many others are doing the same thing.....no promises, just an unemotional taking down of facts. But you never know.
