And he may even be the caretaker of the school the murdered children
went to. As opposed to Huntley, who wasn't. He was just the boyfriend of
a teaching assistant at the school the kids *did* go to. I get a bit
frustrated by the way that the [BBC, at least] reporting of this case
fudges these details.

Oddly enough, the police fail to get one most times they are challenged
regarding an "overambitious" DPA request. Go figure.

Alleged victims. (Or do you know so much about this case that you are
sure its all above board?) And unless the DPA is adhered to, there will
be future victims as a result of premature and unauthorised disclosures.
