1251925 2012-01-03 17:38:00 Body Found On Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate

MUG SHOT::: i.huffpost.com


(Reuters) - British police have launched a murder investigation after a woman's body was discovered on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham country estate in eastern England.

The remains were found on Sunday afternoon by a member of the public shortly after the queen and her husband Prince Philip attended a New Year's Day church service nearby.

Police said they had sealed off the area where the body was found in woodland in Anmer, a village on the eastern edge of the 8,000 hectare (20,000 acres) site, and would remove the remains for a post mortem later.

"We are at the very early stages of the investigation and it could be a complex inquiry," Detective Chief Inspector Jess Fry of Norfolk Police told reporters. "The body had been there for some time.

"The circumstances suggest this is a murder case and we are looking at missing persons reports and cold cases, both locally and nationwide," he added

1251927 2012-01-03 19:37:00 That got reported on our TV News last night.

The bit that worried me was, "The remains were found on Sunday afternoon by a member of the public" . Wouldn't have thought "public" were just allowed te meander around Royal Estates.

As for 20,000 acres - just a small country house and garden hideaway old chap (www.google.co.nz o%3Du&zoom=1&q=sandringham+house&docid=nbiNoW5W7y-QYM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=41gDT6rdFIidiAfe0IXQAQ&sqi=2&ved=0CF0Q9QEwAg&dur=4745)

True. But the UK has the "right to roam" rules.

Although I'm not sure if the Royal properties are exempt, or not.....

1251930 2012-01-03 22:49:00 Reminds when George Harrison was attacked on his estate. (www.nytimes.com) Probably easy for assailants to hide within large estates, their adjacent buildings, woodlands, etc and within their massive homes. I thought they had high walls or gates. kahawai chaser (3545)
1251931 2012-01-03 23:09:00 I would have thought they had hedgerows, although done properly a hedgerow is like a wall anyway. andrew93 (249)

If you want a HEDGE!! Andrew, try a Cornish Hedge (en.wikipedia.org). If you follow the link you'll see a couple of pretty pictures of a Cornish Hedge in summer. Many is the tourist (or "emmet (en.wikipedia.org(Cornish))" I've seen come to grief on them because they thought they were just like the prissy foliage ones "upcountry", rather than solid lumps of granite encasing earth!!

The "Right to Roam" rules must be very similar to New Zealand's Queen's chain (www.recreationaccess.org.nz)which gives us access to our seashore, lakes and rivers. We also have access to most Crown lands and reserves.
