Landlord Chris Jefferies is not a suspect in Jo Yeates murder case

So after a protracted time whilst he has had to endure innuendo from the tabloids, a disgraceful episode whereby police leaked his name and the fact that he has been on police bail for over two months under suspicion, Christopher Jefferies is unceremoniously dumped back into the world to get on with his life.

All the whisperers who thought "he was the one what did it" can spend a day looking at themselves in a mirror. A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said, "We can confirm that a 66-year-old arrested on suspicion of murdering Joanna Yeates was released without charge on Friday 4 March" and with that he went back to his desk.

My grandmother had a saying, "Life is real and life is earnest". It certainly is. One can only wonder what the next phase of this murder case will reveal. Anyone watching The Killing on BBC4 will be accutely aware that not everything is at it seems. There may be uncanny parallels here.
