A conspiracy theorist would assume that this enforced withholding of information was in fact deliberately designed to ensure that the general public jumped to conclusions.

In this case it wasn't even incompetence; it was 'sufficiently advanced ideological obsession' - wokeness, political correctness, followed by a malignly opportunistic witch hunt of one's political opponents. You can barely fit a Hanlon's Razorblade between a planned, malign conspiracy and what actually happened.

Allison Pearson points out in the Telegraph that: “When Labour MP Jo Cox was murdered in June 2016, the public knew almost all the details of her killer within 48 hours.
