90 witnesses in total so far...
We were previously told that there were a lot.
I thought the next relevant date was 23rd July?Did we know he was in court today ?
Perhaps we now have an explanation as to why everything is taking so long. 90!90 witnesses in total so far...

No, he didn’t live in Hull, he previously lived in york.90 witnesses - that makes me wonder if there are many more similar offences against students where witnesses have long since left uni and can't be contacted. Could that explain the lack of charges in earlier years?
I was thinking maybe final years in 2017 - the years of his first charges. Given 5 charges in the weeks before Libby disappears I can't believe only 8 in the previous 2 yearsNo, he didn’t live in Hull, he previously lived in york.

That must happen quite often. I'd guess here that these crimes were reported at the time tho. In isolation they wouldn't be seen as serious.I think the other interesting thing to emerge here is that one additional charge has provided LE with three extra weeks of pre-hearing preparation as the trial in Sheffield has now been rescheduled for 12th August. I wonder if other similar charges are in the same pipeline. Re the defence's plea of mistaken identity - was this necessary over and above his plea of not guilty? I ask because I've been wondering for a while whether the issue of unfair trial will be raised by the defence. I note that there is something set in June called a pre-hearing review. What might be covered by that? Is that an opportunity, among other things, for the defence to query allegations which may have been made subsequent to his pictures having been plastered across the papers from an early stage? Just wondered.

Nope we're all confused. Original trial date was in July in Sheffield. This new charge came out of the blue. Was he even due in court yesterday? Or was it to present the new charge?Well - now I don't know....
Fresh charge for Libby Squire abduction suspect Pawel Relowicz
per this article:
Relowicz, wearing grey joggers, a grey top and glasses at Friday's hearing, was remanded in custody on Friday and is due to stand trial on August 12 at Sheffield Crown Court.
[.....]
Judge Mark Bury told Mr Relowicz: “Your trial on this particular charge will take place at the same time as your other charges you deny and that is fixed for 12th August it will take place in Sheffield.
Did I miss something? TIA!
@JosieJoe PR sounds a real slippery eel.Making all those witnesses that have bravely come forward ( 90!) be put through the ordeal of appearing in court.Hats off to them all for stepping up.Brave souls who like everyone here want justice.I'd imagine lots of people came forward once his face was in the press on similar charges ..possibly his defence will have a field day with this ..especially the latter charges ..p hence the poor sounding "mistaken identity" defence
