Sorry to hear about your insanity. You have indulged in wild speculation and are way 
off the mark my friend. You would have seen a similar message of mine along these 
lines about last October, however the story was not advanced enough at that stage for me 
to do much with it. The main participant has now been arrested and charged - hence the 
latest interest from the media. For your information, details of this case are in last 
Tuesday's Daily Telegraph.

You are right in saying that it is a heart rending story, however the only people I am 
trying to "put the bite on" are the media. Kindly refrain from totally ill informed 
speculation  about things you know stuff all about. I'm going thru enough hassles at the 
moment without you sticking your nose into it. This case is 100% genuine and would take 
the breath away of even the hardest nose cynic such as yourself.
Butt Out!!
