British media is not allowed to disclose his name.

Millionaire banker. Lives in West London. Former army officer. Related to Royalty.

It could be this guy:

Was 31 in 2013 when he ran over that woman, so he'd be about 44 right now - The same age as the man they just arrested.

I wonder who else he's tried to kill.

Well, if it is him, he's got form . . . he was convicted of failing to stop after hitting a cyclist.

Rides a Harley in London? Sounds like a real cunt.

Yep, that’s the sound it made

If you search for "Nicholas Brandram" and nothing else with qwant, the second article is about that 'unnamed' pusher.

I’m missing why they reopened the case after closing it in 2018. It didn’t take them eight years to get the CCTV footage, did it?

Gormadt@slrpnk.net · 20 pts · 65d

Probably made someone mad so they're reopening it out of spite.

Somebody with that much disregard for the lives of others shouldn’t be allowed to live in our society until they are thoroughly rehabilitated.

Or we could use our limited resources to help those in need that want help and simply end this guy.

Slippery slope. Kill everybody who has hurt or attempted to hurt somebody else? Or only the rich white ones?

Complete psychopaths

“Arrested”, but will get away with it.

Because money.

It's not like they won't get a slap on the wrist at best once the public has moved on to something else & forgotten about it.

Sounds like a real private banker, to use rhyming slang.

Is he in police custody ?

frongt@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 65d

That's generally what arrested means, yes

If it is him, hang the cunt.

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 65d

At least she can sue him for serious money and expect to actually extract it from him.

What was the Bus Factor on that woman?

Not sure if random psycho or a premeditated attack - Pushing people in front of buses is the British equivalent of Russian Defenestration.
