Terrible rumour...
Is it just me or is everyone absolutely horrified by the murder of a Perth school girl this week?
To be honest…I don’t know a lot of the detail of the story…I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to read the terrible fine print.
Last night we went to the surf club for dinner. My daughters are 11 and nine…and I couldn’t stand the thought of them going to the toilet alone. I guess every parent in Australia will feel like that for a while.
You might have heard, debate is raging in WA over an incredible rumor.
21 year old Dante Whyndham Arthurs, the man charged with the Murder of Sofia shares the exact same birthday at Robert Thompson, he has the same pudgy face…and his mother has admitted Dante spent a large chunk of his life in Britain…
Robert Thompson, you might remember, is one of the UK's most reviled killers.
With his friend Jon Venebles, in 1993, Robert Thompson kidnapped two year old Jamie Bulger from a shopping centre, tortured him then bashed him to death.
When Thompson and Venebles were released from prison in 2001 they were given new identities, and there were rumours that at least one of them had been relocated to Australia.
Dante Arthurs mother has confirmed her son, who was born in Perth spent much of his childhood in England, before they moved to Perth in 2001. She has denied her son Dante had a criminal record.
However, enough uncertainty remained yesterday to prompt West Australian deputy police commissioner Chris Dawson to order a review of Arthurs' criminal history.
Mr Dawson sais the police were aware of the rumours but had failed to substantiate them.
Sources in London last night dismissed the rumour as nonsense, adding that a similar murder in Ireland a few years was also initially thought to be the work of Thompson.
``There is no way. This would bring down the Government if it were true,'' the source said.
Personally, I don’t think it is Robert Thompson. Believe it or not, I have more faith in the system than that. But like everyone else, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

The West Australian newspaper has reprinted Dante's birth notice and the doctor who delivered him 21 years ago has come forward to say that he is definitely not the 23 year old from England.
There are too many things that don't add up for them to be the same person.
