Confidential information passed to me, reveals that the ballistic expert, Fletcher, and 'Stan' Jones, worked together in tampering with the batch of crime scene ammunition, with test fired rounds, so as to be able to present the case as a one gun crime, when it was not...
'Stan' Jones, signed the 'General Examaniation Records' of crime scene ammunition, which was tampered with by himself and the ballistic expert, Malcolm Fletcher - DS Jones even had to re-write his notes in a duplicate pocketbook to hide the details of what he got up to regarding this, and other unlawful practices he was involved with during the two investigations. 'Taff' Jones, did not know about 'Stan' Jones, being given Robert Boutflours silencer (DB/1) or that 'Stan' Jones took it along to the lab' on the 30th August 1985. If 'Taff' had found out what DS Jones had done, he would have wrung his neck, or beat the living daylights out of him. DS Jones appears to have had unrestricted access to evidence kept at the lab' and been able to introduce or remove exhibits from there without any official or proper records being kept regarding his involvement in these matters,. However, he slipped up when it came to the replacement of several pieces of original crime scene ammunition, because he signed several of the 'General examination records' relating to items that were interfered with...
Once items are received at the lab' an investigating officer should not have access to such items, or be able to influence scientific findings of the same, but DS Jones did all this, and he went further by substituting crime scene ammunition and replacing it with rounds test fired (unofficially) in the rifle (DRH/15)...
The death of 'Taff' Jones, occurred at a rather convenient moment in time, which allowed the current investigating officers to tamper with the silencer, blood and paint evidence, which they duly merged into one compact package, where the key blood and paint from the aga in the kitchen evidence related to one silencer which became known as exhibit DRB/1, with a secret history of having previously been known as silencer DB/1, and also SBJ/1, retrospectively...
At the time of Bambers trial, nobody in the defense camp, or the jury, knew that the silencer (court exhibit 9) DRB/1, had got a dodgy history. Police and the CPS, and the experts who testified about blood which had supposedly been found inside it, and paint found upon it, made any mention of the other exhibit references (SBJ/1, DB/1) the silencer DRB/1 had been previously referred to in other examinations which took place involving a silencer at the lab', or elsewhere. If any of this had been mentioned during the trial, the floodgates would have been opened at that stage, with the defense arguing that the silencer evidence was unreliable and should be excluded...
