Do you believe over the bottle or whiskey DS Jones and PE cooked up the idea to frame Jeremy?
Well DS Jones was, according to Dr Vanezis, an early dissenter so I think he was receptive to anyone who shared his views. I think PE told him the whole family thought JB dunnit which obviously chimed with his own views. PE may have said words to the effect if you pull out all the stops we will see you alright

DS Jones then left with the silencer and I think it very quickly became apparent to him how this could be used to implicate JB. DS Jones was an officer of long experience and would have the wherewithal to go about fabricating the OUTSIDE of the silencer which imo he did before handing it in to EP/DI Cook to take to FSS with other exhibits.
Did DS Jones:
- Know small blood stains were only capable of confirming blood and human in origin? Yes (so could simply use his own blood on the OUTSIDE).
- Have access to SOC photos to know where he could and could not scratch? Yes
- Know he could scratch silencer? Yes
- Have access to a grey hair? Yes
Did RWB make reference to finding blood on the silencer in his diary entries? No
Did AE make reference to finding blood on the silencer in her card system and/or 14th Aug wit stat? No
I rather think if the relatives found the silencer in the condition they later claimed they would be like rats up drainpipes demanding EP visit WHF or Oak Farm immediately for collection.
The case is simple imo:
- DS Jones fabricated the outside
- Relatives perjured themselves claiming they observed the contaminants when they handed over to DS Jones
- DS Jones secured JM's testimony by way of all sorts of threats.
- Snr bods at EP/DPP, believing the above was all authentic, put pressure on FSS to come up with something that sealed JB's fate ergo 'blood flake' which matched SC's blood groups.
