Essex Police's Credibility

[guest7363]

Just asking, as I know nothing about aga's. Is it possibl that at some point Ralph slumped against the aga causing the burns to his back?

I dont think this would be possible buddy, i have only come accross 2 agas before 1 electric and one coal and although hot to touch on the outside they would not burn you.

It would be possible to burn yourself if the Aga was very hot but you would have to be against for quite some time and the marks would not be consistent with the burns he had and as it was summer the Aga would be set at low going from my own experience.

Im surprised that it was concluded in the Dickinson report? that the burn marks were probably inflicted by way of a hot poker.A poker is solid and not hollow?

A hollow poker would pick up embers and ash and end up very messy. I'm sure they dont exist.
