I'm sure a few of you raised eyebrows at this article today.

Excerpts:
The Mirror reports that a total of 61 bodies have been pulled from the Manchester canals over the past 6 years, many found near the city’s gay village.
“It is extremely unlikely that such an alarming number of bodies found in the canals is the result of accidents or suicides,” Professor Craig Jackson, from Birmingham University said.
Police have played down his belief that a serial killer could be on the loose, insisting each individual case is investigated thoroughly.
A police spokesman told the Manchester Evening News that: “Only after a robust investigation into the circumstances of each death would investigators deem one to be ‘non-suspicious’ and pass the file to the coroner.
“None of our investigations are carried out in isolation and as we have said publicly before, we have established no link between the various incidents recorded.”

Massive wtf?
61 bodies in Manchester Canals over past 6 years. That's 10 per year. To put it into perspective, Sydney is full of waterways and has a bigger population. There's nowhere near 10 bodies being found each year in Sydney waterways. We're not talking "boating accident, someone died and was taken away in ambulance", we're talking 61 dead people found in the canals over a 10 year period.
The first thought is: Is this creative journalism? Have they taken some liberties at every point and made something out of nothing? It's hard to believe that autopsies didn't show foul play, followed by an investigation, followed by questions as to whether there is a serial killer on the loose. Surely the media are doing some dodgy reporting?
Other thoughts:
- Is this police force amazingly incompetent?
- What were the causes of death? And if they were determined as murder then why weren't police onto this sooner?
- The articles insinuates they are all men. Gay serial killer or victims of criminal enterprise?
- How do you dump a body in Manchester's Gay Villiage. It's like dumping bodies in the back street of Chapel St. Very hard to avoid people at all times of night and day.
- How were they found? Wrapped up and weighed down? Or just floating with their clothes on. Surely if it's the latter then there would be some sort of escalation within the media starting at "another dude commits suicide in canal" to "oh f uck we have ourselves a serial killer". If it's the former than t either serial killer or proceeds of crime.
