Thanks Rob, if Nevill made the call to Bamber that Sheila’s is going Crazy with a gun, please come over, under the watchful eye of Sheila, she cuts him off with his phone call, does she then allow him to phone the Police after cutting him off in the first place, thus triggering the second car?
I think you and his supporters have always been under the impression that the tactical fire arms unit was called earlier than when Bews made the request? If you read Adams report he tells you, at 4.00am he was on operation (plain clothes) in Colchester when he heard radio talk of a possible fire arms incident at Tolleshunt Darcy, so he contacts HQ to tell her that they were a fire arms unit and were available. He goes on to say after that he didn't hear anything for a while. So at this point no request had been made for Tactical fire arms team to be deployed. It was only when Bews made the request a little while later that they was deployed, Adams then had to remind the operator they would have to return back to HQ to draw weapons?
Now if Nevill had made a request for help to the police and Bamber had made a request to the police, both mentioning the use of guns and I dare say Nevill’s call would have been more serious than Bamber’s, Adams would have been notified much earlier, it’s awhile after 4.00 am that he’s told that he’s needed.
I can’t load Adams COLP statement for some reason?
We have to remember, when Bews and Myhill passed Bamber on route, they did the right thing due to the nature of the call, it’s no use at this stage pulling up outside the farmhouse, it could have triggered off a response from Sheila who was a Nutter in their eyes from the information they had received and possibly got a gun.
They’re passed Bamber so they pull up short of the house in the Lane, wait for Bamber and then do the right thing again, they started to gather more info from the only possible witness at this stage. Bews and Myhill set off to gather more information from the farm house and surroundings and decide to pull back and question Jeremy again, he could help them probably further, it’s at this point Myhill says to Bamber after discussing various things, “Why did your Father decide to ring you and not the Police if there was trouble”
So Bews and Myhill know nothing about any other phone call regarding Nevill to Police, they didn’t say to Jeremy we’ve had a report your fathers rang, they didn’t say to Jeremy there’s been reports of shooting.
They probably thought at this stage, lights are on so we might as well give it another check, but they must have asked themselves, what the hell have they sent us for we can’t do anything here, She’s a nutter, liable to use the gun, plenty of guns to use, even Jeremy seems scared to go in he’s already said I don’t get on with her and I don’t like her, so what’s our chances, so they do the right thing, they don’t antagonise the situation and send for a policing unit that can deal with it better. If they had a figure at the window or door to converse with, they probably would have tried to get this persons attention, as it happened there wasn’t any. After Bews makes the call, he spends time with Jeremy making plans of the house ready for the raid team. Bews actually goes back to the house for another check with Myhill, if they were sure someone was alive with a gun at the window, I’m sure they wouldn’t have risked this.
Figure at the window, it’s probably right what they’re saying, light etc, when they check they all agree it was this. It’s probably spooked them at this stage, they’re all taking cover, but to make sure and like when ever anyone comes from out a hiding place or breaking cover you make a dash for it so as not to be seen, it’s a natural thing to do.
