The discovery of a body thought to be that of the missing child, Mikaeel Kular, can be no more than was expected.
The disappearance of the 3 year old a couple of days ago was always suspicious and his mother's suggestion that he must have got up in the middle of the night, dressed himself and somehow got out of his home unaided was always going to test the credulity of more intelligent people. The supposed 'sightings' of the boy wandering around on his own were no more than the usual demonstration of the extent to which some crave attention; if, indeed, people had seen a small child on his own, why hadn't they done more than simply tell the police ?
As is so often the case when small children go missing, it looks as though the culprits were close to home. Despite the hue and cry, the local police must have known this from the beginning and will undoubtedly have been watching the family closely throughout. The only people who seem not to have accepted the probable truth were the Kular family's neighbours, perhaps understandably, and the media, most specifically the BBC, which, as usual, milked this tragic story for all it was worth.
One's thoughts return to the story of Madeleine McCann, another 3 year old who went missing and who has been sought high and low, far and wide, while the media, and others, have profited from the story. What happened to her ?
