I think you've hit the nail on the head there. If PT were to do 'due diligence' to the case and the POI's, they would inevitably have to investigate, justify or expose the background of the suspect(s), meaning revealing ScW's role or relationship with the paper. If they had produced press but not a profile of the main suspect, then the local community / public would only have discovered the fact in time. What a mess that would have created for them. Easier to avoid and hope it all goes away....I wonder what his relationship to the paper actually was? Can we glean any more intelligence on that history?PT lack of reporting is shameful. It’s not like there’s lots of murder trials going on in Peterborough at the moment. You’d think they’d be fighting over who gets to go and report on this, a 17 year old girl murdered by her ‘parents’ no body found and a whole web of lies weaved by them both. It’s really sad that even journalists can’t be bothered to be Bernadette’s voice.
I do wonder if this has anything to do with Scott having been the ‘telegraph tipster’. Seems like they are hoping to sweep this one under the rug.
Yes, jury are deliberating between 10-4.Do we need a verdict by 4pm if it's to come today?
I've been wondering about this also. ScW calls himself the 'Telegraph Tipster' and on LinkedIn claims to be 'Professional at Anything Horses' but is he not just claiming this without any substance behind it. He posts on LinkedIn about horse racing, amongst other things, but almost inavriably gets neither a comment or a like. Does the Peterborough Telegraph even issue racing tips? He has a Twitter account Telegraph Racing @TelegraphTips but again he posts all kinds of stuff on it which is only partly racing, never mentions the PT, and he receives only the odd like and no comments. Is this not just his fantasy?I think you've hit the nail on the head there.

If this is a matter of them avoiding it for that reason, then that is disgraceful.
I know Scott walker called himself 'The Telegraph Tipster' but can anyone confirm that it was an official role at the paper and not just something he called himself?
When you say 'work' do you mean he was paid in some capacity by the Peterborough Telegraph? Is there anything we can look at that demonstrates his 'work'?
What was he doing on the third floor and why so short an employment?He did work there employed by them but not for long. I believe he worked on the third floor.
Yes they did have a tipster many moons ago I remember itI have never known PT to cover horse racing.
It seems to me a little sideline he set up himself. He has a page for it on WordPress. Seems he added SaW into the mix as well, calling her Padders Paddock Picks
I find it extremely odd that they haven't. From media perspective, that's going to get a lot of hits, clicks, and interest. It's local couple, a murder investigation in the most bizarre trial, the most ludicrous defence (sweet wrappers!) one not even taking the stand. You'd think they'd be all over it.
