So police are able to arrest now on suspicion ? ,but had no evidence and still none. Anyone of us could know a person or just been to visit, that person might die and we get arrested on suspicion.
All police over the world arrest “on suspicion”. It is the judges/courts/magistrates etc that hear the case that then decide your guilt or innocence.
