At that stage the police only had Paul's word for it (and only from the press article, as Paul really was the 'reluctant' witness of the two) that the other man had been there first. If Lechmere had never come forward and never been identified, Paul would now be seen as equally if not more suspicious, and talking to the press only to point the finger at this unknown second man.
Hereīs the choice:
1. A benevolent, helpful man that had the bad luck of stumbling over the body, and who reported this to a PC as soon as he could, and followed it up afterwards by contacting the police station and help with the inquiries, or...
2. A man that was seen standing by the victim on the murder night, at the time when she had her throat cut, and who breezed past a PC without giving his name, and thereafter vanished from the face of the earth.
Please tell me, Caz, that it is not beyond you to discern the difference inbetween these two characters!

I'd also have to say that vanishing 'from the face of the earth' is a rather good way of avoiding the hangman.
I rest my case for the defence, your Honour.
