LEWISHAM: Police will not confirm suspect's identity
1:32pm Tuesday 13th May 2008
Police have dismissed reports that Jimmy Mizen's killer may have fled to Cyprus as "lazy journalism".
And the Met is refusing to confirm that they are looking for a 19-year-old Turkish youth in connection with the killing.
National press and media have today reported that an arrest warrant has been issued for a young Turkish man, known to live in the area near the scene of the murder in Burnt Ash Hill, Lee.
Police refused to comment on claims that they have issued an all ports warning and fear the suspect may have fled the country for northern Cyprus.
A police spokesman dismissed the reports as "speculation" and "lazy journalism".

The Police spokesman seems to be on a BAD publicity drive!
Come on Met police - you work for and are paid for us, don't drive your reputation into the dirt - help us. - and campaign for tougher sentences for violent crime.
Help us to help you!

I'm sponsoring the 2012 Olympics
Soon after I got my demob suit in 1948 and slid seamlessly back into my role as a fire engine-chasing young reporter, I was sitting in the Times offices in Church Road wondering where my next scoop was coming from.
The buses are back
Regular readers of this blog will recall how buses became the ideological battleground for Brave New Barnet during the election campaign for the Mayor of London and London Assembly. Proponents of routmasters did battle with those of bendy buses - or pragmatism, as would say - as the fight for City Hall reached fever pitch. It was a striking example of the blandness of the political landscape.
