The kitchen phone was plugged in. Bamber unplugged it & put it under magazines.
The bedroom phone was taken downstairs, plugged in and taken off the hook.
All this was to explain why Nevill was downstairs & why June did not phone the police from upstairs.
This is not the way i see it Adam.If the kitchen phone was off the hook no one could use the bedroom phone,so no fear of June or anyone else making a phone call.But lets start at the beginning.You say everyone was in bed when JB entered the house and he intended a silent massacre before Nev/June and the twins woke up.If this was his plan,moving the bedroom phone was not in his original plan.Indeed it was unlikely he planned a phone call from Nevill at all,because if Nevill and June were curled up in bed when they were shot,obviously the police would know a phone call was not possible,because it would be obvious that they were shot as they slept.So,you say the bedroom phone was moved to the kitchen because it is claimed ,IF the phone was in the bedroom Nevill would have tried to use it.But this is illogical garbage.For heavens sake,someone being shot at,is not going to reach for the bedside phone and try to make a call,nonsense.YOU, yourself have Nevill exiting the room in ten seconds Adam,so no thought of making a call whether the phone was there or not.And it would have been no surprise to the police that Nevill fled the bedroom to escape a hail of bullets,and ended up phoning from the kitchen.Totally logical.So,to say would have phoned from the bedroom if the phone was there is utter lunacy.And not only that,to claim that JB tried to hide the kitchen phone and make it blatantly obvious that someone was staging the phones is again utter stupidity,who on earth would be so stupid,comical.No,no matter where Nevill ended up,it made no sense whatsoever to move the bedroom phone.Disable it yes,but move it to the kitchen,rubbish.If the police found a phone on the bedside cabinet in the main bedroom they wouldnt have batted an eye lid under the circumstances,NO ONE would.Obviously it is true what was said about the phones playing up,and the bedroom phone was already in the kitchen pre massacre.The original kitchen phone either innocently or otherwise getting covered with magazines.So,to my mind the moving of the bedroom phone means nothing and in no way whatsoever incriminates JB.Think it through.
