Inspector D Burrell 13/09/85

[guest7363]

It's interesting that after setting the scene, Burrell provides his account in the first person, for the first three facts.  When he reaches the fourth fact, he appears to disassociate himself from the action claimed to have taken place.

Probably his nock off time 6.00am?

He's an Inspector, why does he say he was duty Sergeant?

Or maybe he simply wasn't personally involved in the transfer.

Not spotted that one Hartley, got promotion just after the murders?

Delegation I would say, probably fed up of listening to nothing at that time? Or constant dog barking?

Probably his nock off time 6.00am?

He doesn't state so, either side of the last action that he claimed took place. 

Neither is any reason given regarding necessity for the claimed action.  Wouldn't the result cause a 999 call line to be unnecessarily tied up?

I've just read in the July 1986 issue of the Essex Police Law Magazine, Burrell is thanking people for their kindness following the death of his wife and mother-in-law.

It's been said by many that Neville couldn't have phoned the police because of his injuries. He could still have just dialled 999,without speaking as that call would have appeared on a digitalised screen showing the area/address rather than having the loud distracting buzzer. The address of the caller would have been recorded and filtered to the police as being the emergency needed if " suspicious sounds " had been heard in the background.
This occurs if a line has been dialled then abandoned and left open for the emergency services.

It could be that 6.00am is a busy time with him being in charge, briefings, manpower change over etc, so all he did was delegate to attend other matters?

Oh dear that's so sad  Hartley, makes you wonder what happened both together, Traffic accident?

That was my thought. I can't find anything else about it in the news though. 

[lookout]

Poison mushrooms ?

[guest2181]

Poison mushrooms ?

That's a bit random Lookout. 

I remember a film where a chap came back from the American Civil war, he went to a family and pretended to be the returning husband, the lady in question figured it out that he wasn't really her husband and poisoned him with mushrooms. It was on a tobacco farm I think.

Can't remember the name of the film though. 

Any takers?
