Relatives got wind of the police cover up, and when Robert Boutflour went to DHQ to see his Masonic colleague, Peter Simpson, he put over such a forceful argument about exposing the cover up instigated by Essex police, that Simpson became instantly convinced that relatives were determined to make sure heads would roll if police did not arrest JB and prosecute him as the murderer...
How did the relatives get wind of it, and what evidence could they have provided that was so compelling as to force the creation of a massive conspiracy that ranged from humble bobbies up to a police commissioner?
If you will lend me your ears, I will explain...
I'm all ears...
Relatives had access to internal police information from sources like, DS 'Stan' Jones, DC 'Mick' Clark, and Metropolitan police officer and friend, PC Robert Carr, when you couple this to the influence which Robert Boutflour had with his masonic colleagues who were police officers involved in the case, it all added up to a recipe for disaster...
Are you suggesting that Jones, Clark and Carr encouraged realatives to blackmail them by giving them the evidence they would need to do it? Were they insane?
You underestimate the power of loyalty between friends who were all freemasons - they didn't need an excuse to be insane, it was natural for this group of people to share information about the case with each other...
It is also natural for people to look after their own positions. If those three were masons they would have had loyatly to each other too - they three would have kept quiet to protect each other, not blabbed to Boutlfour.
Is a freemason-based conspiracy the only explanation you have for this turn of events?
Robert Boutflour was not behind the door, who could see and knew that the police investigation had been deliberately botched, and he found out through PC Robert Carr, that police lied about how many shots had been fired, and that Sheila had only been shot once, when in fact she had been shot twice. He also knew that there had not been any official ballistics tests done to verify and confirm that only one weapon had been used in the shootings? He himself had been at the scene and witnessed at first hand how many weapons and amounts of ammunition had been left strewn about the farmhouse by the police, despite this being the scene of a multiple shooting...
Robert Boutflour got to know about the police shooting Sheila for a second time, whilst her body was laid out on the bed at a time when she had already been declared to be dead, but was not...
There are endless other things which Robert Boutflour got to know about, which helped him to easily persuade ACC Peter Simpson to order a fresh investigation and to get rid of DCI 'Taff' Jones, from head of the investigation...
You only have to ask yourself why was it so easy for Robert Boutflour to influence the police investigation and make it change course, and dispose of the senior investigating officer?
You do not have to be one of the BAMBER IS INNOCENT brigade to realize that Robert Boutflour had considerable influence, so much so that Simpson had no hesitation but to alter the course of the investigation, for good, or bad - such a decision bought Essex police a little more time...
