A couple of interesting points have arisen over this case during the day.

1. Why has the Prime Minister singled out this particular case for further investigation, when there are many other cases which have not received such treatment? For example, will he now ask the Met to investigate the disappearance of little Ben Needham on the island of Kos a few years ago?

2. What powers does the PM have to dictate how the Met uses scarce resources to look at a case that has nothing to do with them? The Met Commissioner says it was him who made the decision, but he would say that, wouldn't he, if he wanted to keep his job.

It smacks of a political gimmick from Cameron, nothing more and nothing less.
