Original Note:
Important context: The police are not willingly keeping the attack’s identity secret. It is unlawful for the police to name them before they have been charged. This follows high-profile cases in the 2010s where innocent individuals arrested had their lives damaged. https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2020-0122.html https://www.bindmans.com/knowledge-hub/blogs/nowhere-to-hide-suspect-anonymity-and-pre-charge-bail-college-of-policing-c/
