Just morbid questions. I mean I’m not some CEO, just an averge person. Just wondered how seriously is my death even gonna be investigated. (Or is nobody even gonna care, like how my parents probably won’t even care if I died)

    Fucking hell mate. Where do you live that’s so rough? There’s around 600 murders a year in the country I live (UK).

    That said I don’t think there’d be much effort to investigate here either, the police just default to saying things are a civil matter these days.

      Greater London. When people think of London they usually forget the areas on the outskirts. Just a lot of gang activity. Earlier this year someone got stabbed metres from my living room window, however they survived. All of my friends who have moved away have expressed being considerably happier.

      This.

      Only about one in twenty of recorded ‘crime’ is ever solved. I don’t know whether that includes posting a tweet (aka non-crime hate incident). That’s recorded crime (if they’ll let you record a crime).

      Same view as you: got turned away with that same phrase “civil matter, sir”.

      I’m guessing that the real figure is maybe 1 in 100 at best. I’m sure I saw a pod cast of that undercover detective (Pete® B-something?) who was evicted from the Met who said the figure was in that ball park. Can’t find it or remember his name. Bah!
