More Time To Quiz Jo Yeates Murder Suspect

Share
Pete Norman, Sky News Online
Detectives have been given more time to question a 32-year-old man on suspicion of murdering landscape architect Jo Yeates.

Mr Tabak works for a firm of architects in Bath
The suspect was detained in the early hours of Thursday after police investigating the 25-year-old's death uncovered fresh evidence.
Soon afterwards, specialist search teams moved into the neighbouring flat to where Miss Yeates lived at 44 Canynge Road, Clifton, Bristol.
Dutch engineer Vincent Tabak, 32, is registered as living at the address with his girlfriend Tanja Morson.
Police officers were seen at the offices of his employer, international consultancy Buro Happold, in Lower Bristol Road, Bath.
The firm, and several colleagues, referred all inquiries to Avon and Somerset Police, however the force has not named the suspect in custody.
Workers erected scaffolding and green tarpaulin at the rear of the converted Victorian property yesterday.
How Events Have Unfolded:
:: Dec 17: Joanna leaves the Ram pub at 8pm to walk home.
:: Dec 20: Police make first appeal over Joanna's disappearance.
:: Dec 26: Police confirm a body found on Christmas Day is that of Joanna.
:: Full timeline of events.

The screen covers the entrance to flat two, where Mr Tabak lived, and the rear of Miss Yeates's rented home.
Police sealed off both ends of Canynge Road as officers in white forensic outfits searched the property.
Later, forensic officers loaded three wheelie bins and a mountain bike from the address in Aberdeen Road into a unmarked white transit van.
Miss Yeates's father welcomed the latest development, which comes almost five weeks after his daughter disappeared.
Speaking at the family home in Ampfield, Hants, David Yeates, 63, said yesterday he was "pleased" the police investigation was "moving forward".
He said: "We know as much as you do. We were told at 6am this morning that someone was arrested on suspicion of Jo's murder and their age."
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Jones, who is leading the inquiry, thanked Miss Yeates's family and boyfriend for their support.
He said: "I would like to thank the public for their continued support for the investigation and the information they have provided to us.

"I would also like to pay tribute to Jo's family and to Greg, who continue to be unfailing in their support to me and my team at what is an incredibly difficult and painful time for them."
The early-morning arrest is believed to have taken place at a Victorian terraced house in Aberdeen Road, Clifton.
Mr Tabak lived at flat one which shares the ground-floor of 44 Canynge Road with flat two, Miss Yeates's home.
A floor plan reveals the two flats were connected by an interior door that runs between two bedrooms that has since been blocked.
Mr Tabak, a trilingual engineer, is an expert in the flow of people through buildings including sports venues.
Eindhoven University of Technology confirmed he completed a PhD in "User Simulation of Space Utilisation" three or four years ago.
It is thought the Dutchman had just returned to Britain from a holiday after reportedly spent Christmas in Holland with his family.
Ms Yeates disappeared on Friday December 17 after going for Christmas drinks with colleagues at her architectural firm.
Her snow covered body was discovered on Christmas Day by dog walkers, dumped on a country lane verge several miles from her home.

Jo Yeates murder police given more time to quiz suspect

Jo Yeates murder investigation

* Extra time to quiz Yeates suspect
* Jo Yeates murder suspect arrested
* Murdered Jo 'did not eat pizza'
* Jo's parents' plea to end torment

Detectives have been given until Saturday to question a man arrested on suspicion of murdering Jo Yeates.

Miss Yeates, 25, was found dead on Christmas Day, eight days after going missing from her home in the Clifton area of Bristol.

Police have been searching a flat next to Miss Yeates's, which BBC News understands is home to 32-year-old Dutch national Vincent Tabak.

Police have not confirmed Mr Tabak has been arrested.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: "This afternoon, police have been to court and successfully applied for a warrant of further detention, which will enable us to continue to question the 32-year-old man we arrested yesterday until late tomorrow evening."
Dog walkers

Mr Tabak's flat is not the first in the block to have been searched by officers.

Police closed Canynge Road early on Thursday and put up scaffolding next to Miss Yeates's flat.

Forensic teams then began a search at the block, which was covered up with green sheets, and police also sealed off part of Aberdeen Road in Cotham, about a mile from the flats.

The arrest early on Thursday is believed to have taken place at a converted Victorian terraced house in the road.

Miss Yeates's frozen body was found by dog walkers on 25 December next to a country road in Failand, three miles from where she lived.

A post-mortem examination revealed she had been strangled.

**Lioned** Fri 21 Jan - 18:21

It is a bit odd they didnt finger this man earlier if he lives in the flat next door.Seeing as it looked like she hadn't planned to leave the flat or go too far,you would think all those close by would come under scrutiny.
Must say this one looks the part if you ask me,but lets wait and see.

According the link by carmen, this guy has just arrived back having spent Christmas back home.
Maybe, they've been waiting for him to get back and trying not to spook him into not returning? IYKWIM.

He hadn't returned to his own flat, but was staying at a friend's about a mile away, and that's where he was arrested. He seems to have been on his own in that place, as the woman who owns it was away herself - in Chile, I believe. Funnily enough, I read somewhere that the Dutchman's (sorry, can't remember his name off the top of my head) girlfriend was also in Chile. When I read about the extension for questioning I thought it was probably going to be someone else whose name is bandied around and who is then let out on bail. But I can't help thinking it's significant that, after visiting family in Holland over Christmas, he hadn't returned to his own flat (which is directly connected to Jo's), but had stayed elsewhere. The father of the female friend said today that his daughter hadn't been in touch, and he only knew what he'd heard on the news. Did the Dutchman have a key to this other flat because his girlfriend was away (in Chile) with the owner?

**wjk** Sat 22 Jan - 13:27

Maybe he didn't return to his own flat because the cops aren't letting anyone back there yet?
Could this be why he was staying at a friends?

Jo Yeates murder suspect Vincent Tabak 'had split with girlfriend'
By LUKE SALKELD, RYAN KISIEL, ARTHUR MARTIN and CHRISTIAN GYSIN
Last updated at 4:48 PM on 22nd January 2011
Add to My Stories
Neighbours say they believe suspect may have split from his girlfriend
He went home two days after Jo was last seen alive
DNA traces 'found underneath Jo's clothes'
Police granted more time by magistrates to continue to question 32-year-old
The Dutch architect arrested on suspicion of the murder of Joanna Yeates recently split up with his girlfriend, it was claimed yesterday.
Vincent Tabak, 32, had lived with 34-year-old Tanja Morson in the flat next door to Miss Yeates.
But yesterday, as another witness spoke of hearing cries from the building on the night Miss Yeates disappeared, neighbours said they had not seen Miss Morson there for months, and suggested the relationship had come to an end.

DNA TRACES 'UNDER JO'S CLOTHES'

DNA traces were found underneath Jo Yeates’ clothes, it was reported today.
This indicates, for the first time, that she may have been sexually attacked.
Traces were allegedly discovered on her breasts, stomach and jeans, according to The Sun, all of which are thought to have been from the killer’s saliva.
A source told the paper: ‘The fact that DNA samples have been found on her bare body could well mean whoever murdered Jo tried to sexually assault her beforehand.’
If the reports are confirmed, these partial traces should be enough to rule out any suspects. But, it is believed, there is not enough there to prove guilt.
Until now, officers had said that there was no indication that Miss Yeates had been sexually attacked but said it was possible that the motive of the killer was sexual.
This week it emerged that detectives hunting the murderer had enlisted the help of the forensic laboratory which helped catch Rachel Nickell’s killer.
Scientists were understood to be examining a ‘partial’ DNA sample found on Miss Yeates’s strangled body. A police spokeswoman declined to comment.

Instead they recalled Tabak arriving and leaving the basement flat alone, with one commenting: ‘The last time I saw her [Tanja] was around September.
‘I assumed that they had split up as I hadn’t seen her for so long.’
Another confirmed she had not seen Miss Morson for several months, while a third said: ‘I’d seen the man but I hadn’t really seen a girlfriend around in the weeks leading up to what happened.’
Yesterday, as detectives were granted extra time to question Tabak, Miss Morson turned up for work as usual at Dyson, in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, where she is a financial analyst. A colleague confirmed she was there, but was not taking calls.
Her father yesterday insisted that it was ‘absurd’ to suggest that Miss Morson and Tabak were no longer an item. But on the day Tabak was arrested he had been rather less sure about the status of his daughter’s relationship with the suspect, saying: ‘I do not know if he is her boyfriend or not. He’s a boy, she’s a girl and they are friendly with each other.’
Photos on Facebook show the couple had a fun and loving relationship. In one they pose in fancy dress at a summer festival and in another they are seen at a 10km run.
Neighbours on Canynge Road yesterday claimed Tabak had returned to his flat on the Friday Miss Yeates disappeared. It is understood he spoke to ex-teacher Chris Jefferies, who had helped her boyfriend Greg Reardon start his car before a trip to Sheffield for the weekend.
A neighbour said: ‘When [Vincent] got home on his bike, Chris spoke to him on the drive and told him about what happened with the car.’
Meanwhile, more evidence of a disturbance on December 17 emerged. A resident living in the building directly behind 44 Canynge Road has told police he heard a woman screaming ‘Help me’ on the night Miss Yeates went missing. He heard the cries from his bedroom, which looks on to the ground-floor flats which are now screened with tarpaulin while forensic experts continue to examine them.

Fun: Vincent Tabak and girlfriend Tanja Morson pictured having summer fun
The neighbour reported the incident to police before Christmas, when Miss Yeates was still being treated as a missing person. He was interviewed again after a murder inquiry began. He said: ‘I was in my bedroom with the blind down when I heard someone scream “Help me” in a loud, high-pitched voice.’
The description of the cry follows reports from a woman at a party in a house opposite of two loud screams at around 9pm on December 17, shortly after Miss Yeates is believed to have arrived home. A pedestrian passing Canynge Road also heard screams.
Yesterday it was also reported that DNA traces were found underneath Miss Yeates’s clothing, suggesting that she may have been sexually assaulted. Samples were found on the 25-year-old’s midriff and jeans.
It was already known that police had obtained DNA from her body – but it was not known how many traces or where they were found.
He's innocent says family
The family of Vincent Tabak yesterday insisted he was innocent.
His brother, Marcel, said relatives in his native Holland were devastated to learn of the arrest. Speaking from his home in the village of Doornenburg, 60 miles east of Amsterdam, he said: ‘He’s a lovely man and I absolutely think they have got the wrong person.’
Tabak’s widowed mother, Sonja, who is in her seventies, was said to be ‘shattered’ by the news.
She did not answer the door to her flat in a well-kept block in Arnhem, in the east of Holland, yesterday.
Tabak’s ex-sister-in-law Paulie, who also lives in Doornenburg and is still very close to the family, said: ‘He is definitely innocent. This is totally out of the blue. I cannot imagine that he could ever have done anything like this. He is a calm, intelligent boy.’
Tabak’s father, who worked in the airline industry, died a few years ago as his son was completing his PhD.
All three are thought to have been from the killer’s saliva, but have yielded only partial results. Sources said that they should be enough to rule out suspects over her murder – but probably not enough to conclusively prove anyone’s guilt.
Until now, police have said there was no direct sign of Jo being sexually attacked. But they had stressed it could have been the motive.
A police source said: ‘The fact that DNA samples have been found on her bare body could well mean whoever murdered Jo tried to sexually assault her beforehand.’
Yesterday forensic officers continued their search of a cordoned-off property on Aberdeen Road, Bristol, where Tabak was arrested on Thursday morning. The experts were carrying long ladders, suggesting they may have been checking the loft for clues.
Police have been given an extra 30 hours to question Tabak, giving them until late tonight either to charge or release him on bail.
