ROBERTS, Justice
(concurring).
The disposition of appellant’s claim that his formal statement was the product of unnecessary delay between his arrest and arraignment * is governed by our decision in Commonwealth v. Rowe, 459 Pa. 163, 327 A.2d 358 (1974). In Rowe, we held that, where a statement which is not the product of unnecessary delay is followed after unnecessary delay by another statement which only repeats the contents of the first, the later statement is *634not reasonably related to the delay. Id. at 169, 327 A.2d at 361-362. It is therefore not made inadmissable by Futch.
Because I agree that appellant’s other contentions are also without merit, I concur in the result.
MANDERINO, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
