You could be right ILB, but the fact TAFF had concluded after his meeting with Bamber on the 9th, his investigation had finished as far as he was concerned, and there was no doubt it was Murder suicide,
Bamber would naturally think he was in the clear, what had he to worry about, TAFF was opening the doors to outside traffic at this stage, all police examinations were completed as far as TAFF was concerened, he hadn't wanted a full house search, he hadn't wanted a full fingerprint search, maybe Bamber didn't know this when he gave permission? Even Bamber commented about them not doing a fingerprint search, when he himself went in the Farmhouse later.
Taff's parting words to cooke on the Morning of the Murders, "i will arrange for the Post Mortem for later that day" Not, i will arrange for a post Mortem when you have finished your Soco crime scene investigation,
So again TAFF is calling the shots to Cook, it's a suicide and not a Murder so it needs a low level inquiry, Cook states he got a radio call, before he had finished his examinations, "why the Bodies had not arrived at the Mortuary. He recalls someone was upset HOW long they were taking.
We all know who this someone was, because there was one man who wanted the process moving quickly, because he had made the wrong call, and it was an internal Radio call so it came from within the Police
That's why Soco rushed with the investigation and sent the bodies to the Morgue at 1.00PM, Cook and Bird followed and Hammersley also attended, cook did not return that day and only returned to the crime scene for Soco work on the 9th and TAFF handed the keys to Anne that same day.
Rivlin to Hammersley, "you examined the house with care" Hammersley "i examined the scene as i was told to do so"
Inspector Cook, "It is considered his examination at the crime scene at whf within the PARIMETERS SET BY DCI JONES, whilst LIMITED was thorough"
I agree he was limited by DCI JONES, i don't agree it was thorough.
