Original Note:
Murder cases are usually charged on the “threshold test” rather than “full code test,” which is to say that a charging decision needs to be made immediately but the police still need to collect evidence, which takes time. Full code is used when all evidence has been gathered. https://www.cps.gov.uk/publication/code-crown-prosecutors
