JOANNA YEATES SUSPECT HAS A CLEAN RAP SHEET
26th January 2011

Vincent Tabak was of “good character” in his native Holland and the UK.
Prosecutors at Tabak’s bail hearing successfully applied to remand him in custody pending his trial for the murder of 25-year-old landscape architect Jo.
But they did not suggest there was a risk of him offending or that he was a danger to the public.
Prosecutor Ann Reddrop told Bristol Crown Court: “To be fair to him he is a man of good character both in this country and, as I understand, in Holland.
