I have already written extensively on this subject and the logs. My view until recently was that without tapes or transcripts it cannot be proved. However I did outline a circumstance where a 999 call to Bonnet was abandoned and discussed how this might be handled. I suggested that this call could not be cancelled without first gaining the number from which it originated.
I now see that the CT are suggesting that a further call was made around 06.09, on the log maintained by the operative who had the curious way of writing a zero i.e. struck through. It talks about moving a 999 call to create a direct link with the control room. Could this be the original 03.2? approx call from Nevill which was left off the hook and monitored? I know it was a long time to leave it but it was the only way the police had of knowing what might be happening inside the farm. It was also this same police operative that added the WHF number to the Bonnet log. This would probably become available at shift transfer. In other words it was not a new call just the original being switched. Did June try to get to this line as previously suggested as they wanted to talk to her from Chelmsford Control where events were being co-ordinated?
Additionally I would like to suggest that it may have been June using or trying to use the abandoned 999 call line or signalling which precipitated the summoning of Ambulances to the scene. Was she shot again while attempting to use this line? I have seen no evidence or statements as to how the Ambulance Service was activated and it does not appear in any of the logs. My guess would be that this was done via HQ. I believe the timeline from the ‘in conversation’ log entry to the 999 link being switched at 06.09 supports these suggestions.
