This name suppression just business gets stranger and stranger

If you have been following the news you will have read of the missing woman, Vanessa Pickering and the man who abducted her and her daughter.

Two updates, the first is it seems likely the police have found her body.

The second the gentleman believed to be responsible for all of this appeared in court today, his name is ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ but that has been suppressed in the interim.

The silly thing is though that when this story broke and the police were searching for him and Vanessa Pickering both his name and photograph were given to the media to assist in the search.

And now there are plenty of ways of find both name and photo, not the least checking out yesterdays newspaper.

My questions are why bother to suppress his name?

And are any media outlets which have archived stories online containing this name in breach of the order.

And what about Google cache?
