convicted criminal / facebook
28 Answers
A convicted murderer still in prison as got a facebook account. It is under a false first name but surname is his. His photo is on the profile. The friends section shows the same people who were on his facebook, before and during his trial. Its definately him.
I along with others have reported this to facebook over 8 weeks ago, and nothing as been done to remove this account. I have also reported this to the police via crimestoppers by email. I have not had any reply from either. Any suggestions to what you think I should do next? Don't want to speak to the press for obvious reasons.

Not very nice for the victims or their families but i doubt its illegal so facebook probs wont do anything.
After All the woman from Manchester who met a neighbour on facebook and he killed her and set fire to her .Her facebook page was still up for weeks after her murder.
there's so many members that these things happen and weirdos on the outside of jail would concern me more.
i really don't understand the secrecy bit ???

Umm shush im using it as an example.
you start drinkin less red bull eh ? grrrrr
well blackie if thats the case posting here will surely add to it.
like i say dont know any details but i doubt its illegal and if hes using a fake name then youd need to be stalking him day and night to find him.if hes got an illegal mobile then hes one of many as its getting more common.
theres really nothing we can do to help in my opinion.if facebook wont do anything then either go to the press or you will need to let it lie i guess.

open a new account in facebook with another name. complain again to facebook about this person and keep complaining until they remove his profile.
No one will know it was you who did the complaining, although I don't think facebook are very quick at removing someones file, so you have to be persistant.
If need be, threaten them with going to the press about this.

A Prison Service spokesperson said: "Prisoners cannot personally contribute to websites and we are determined to tackle illicit mobile phones.
"We are implementing a strategy to minimise the numbers entering prisons, and to find or disrupt the working of those that do get in.
"It is a criminal offence to bring a mobile phone or component into a prison, with a penalty of up to two years imprisonment."

the only way to know for sure is to be accepted as a friend on the profile.
keep on at the police and facebook.
Im not sure where your family fit into this but did you have any contact at the police station during the investigation? are you able to notify the victims family so that they may report it to a liasing officer?
