I think it's more than one person, one on each side to stop them getting out
Serial killers in pairs... I'd imagine that's fairly rare? I know it does happen but I can't see that being the case here.
Maybe a guy went down the cruising spot for some fun with Mr A N Yone.. His wife/Mrs found out about it. Majorly kicked off, booted him out. Next salute he's full of remorse, sat in his old bedroom at his mams or in a shitty little flat. The remorse turn to resentment... To anger. But, he don't direct the anger at himself... He takes it out on other lone men up and down the waterways. They're the c**ts responsible for the situation hes now in? Our man now has a lot of time on his hands now he's lost his Mrs, maybe children involved so he's gone from busy homelife to.. No life.. So he has time to wait, watch etc. Seen in that Ch4 programme other night that dibble approached a guy who was waiting about under the bridge smoking a cig.. Anyone could be down there.
Some years back I did nights, security on ancoats retail park and I tell you what, that canal path was/is busy 24/7. There is cameras overlooking the canal and aside from men having fun together you would see people walking up and down, probably just cruising (or spectating like
@CTID1988 chum with the big bag of crisps was) but also there was also scallies on bikes in 1's and 2's, definitely up to no good but never saw nowt so, couldn't do nowt or, phone it in. So yeah, muggings down there are nothing new. A common "trick" is to distract the victim and rifle his pockets. Caught with his trousers down, so to speak... So, guys who go down there know not to carry money etc.
I've had an hanging thought whilst typing this out. Back to
@BlueNirvana saying there may be more than one person doing the pushing. What if, and I know this sounds terrible, there's a couple of sickos targeting lone walkers and attacking them sexually then throwing them in the water? People have asked why hasn't anyone swam out, Factor in not just the shock and ice cold waters but also if you have just been raped? Police have returned open verdicts on over 20 deaths.
Just a couple of half arsed theories off the top of my head and I've been up since 2 am so please be gentle if you decide to dissect it!
