Dear Mr Teskowski,
I apologise if there has been a misunderstanding or you didn't receive
my email, but I was of the belief that I had previously provided you
with a response to your interest about three different silencers.
The response was that the information you request is not for public
consumption, hence the reason that I am unable on this occasion to
provide you anymore detail. Those relevant parties such as families and
legal teams involved in the case HAVE been provided all the necessary
information.
I appreciate you have previously had affiliations with Jeremy Bamber and
his defence team but you must likewise appreciate that in order to
protect the interests of everyone, including Jeremy Bamber, we must
follow certain rules and regulations before releasing any information
into the public domain.
As I also previously stated, I have forwarded on all your emails to the
senior investigating officer Det Supt Win Bernard and force solicitor
Adam Hunt and I am sure that if there is anything else they are able to
tell you they will.
Regards
Kim Perks

Subject: RE: White House Farm murders
Dear Kim Perks,
I recently contacted you regarding the question of
three different silencers in existence as part of the
WHF investigation - one that was donated to Essex
police museum and another two which were handed back
to the relatives..
As you know from time to time a silencer has been
referred to by the exhibits reference SBJ/1, DB/1 and
DRB/1.
I have a question, do each of the three aforementioned
exhibit references relate to only one silencer or
sound moderator or has each silencer or sound
moderator been given a separate exhibits reference?
I understand there was an internal police
investigation into the possibility that more than one
silencer was recovered from either WHF or the
relatives which was conducted by COLP, who concluded
that the various exhibits references (SBJ/1, DB/1 and
DRB/1) came about through a misunderdstanding between
the scenes of crime officer and the home office
forensic laboratory staff who recorded the silencer on
their forms as SBJ/1, DB/1 and DRB/1 respectively on
different dates.
That explanation is all very well but it does not go
any way towards explaning how three different
silencers or sound moderastors came into the
possession of Essex police and how two of them were
handed back to the relatives and the third one was
donated to the museum!
I do know that according to the evidence of David
Boutflour and his family that they found a silencer in
the gun cupboard at WHF on saturday 10th August 1985.
This was taken by the family to the home of Christine
and Peter Eaton where it was kept for a period of two
days until 12th August 1985 at which point it was
collected from them by DS Jones who according to his
evidence took it to the scenes of crime dept at Witham
police station and placed it in a locked drawer until
9.15 a.m. the following morning at which point he
handed the aforementioned silencer to DI Cook who took
it immediately to Huntingdon Laboratory where it was
provisionally examined on 13th August 1985.
Now, I am mentioning this for a reason, you see a
couple of months ago, a retired police officer
contacted Jeremy bambers solicitors in Birmingham and
provided some information concerning the whereabouts
of the silencer prior to it going to the lab at
Huntingdon on the very first occasion it was
submitted!
This former police officer arranged to meet Ewen Smith
in London and provided the following information..
Prior to the first time the silencer was sent to the
lab it was kept by the former DCI Jones on his desk at
Witham police station and used as a paper weight!
At one stage PC Whiddon picked up the silencer and
took it to the store room where the rifle was being
kept and screwed it onto the threads of the rifle to
see if it fitted!
Two other police officers were named who witnessed
this occurring!
Now if this information is true then it cannot have
been the same silencer which David Boutflour recovered
from the gun cupboard since there was insufficient
time to allow for the silencer to be used as a paper
weight on top of the former DCI Jones desk at Witham
police station, because according to the evidence of
DS Jones and DI Cook and others, the one found by
David Boutflour was only at Witham police station
overnight and kept in a locked drawer in the scenes of
crime office!
This must mean there were at least two silencers in
Essex police possession, one in the control of the
former DCI Jones and another found by David Boutflour!
What I find interesting about all of this is that
nowhere in the file are there any references to the
former DCI Jones having any involvement with the
silencer used in the prosecution of Jeremy Bamber,
despite him being in overall command of the
investigation. For some reason he is neither shown or
examines the silencer or makes any report about how it
came into police possession!
I am particularly interested in how the silencer he
used as a paper weight on his desk before it was first
submitted to the lab (13th August 1985) came into his
possession?
Could you please shed some light on this matter?
Best wishes
Michael Teskowski. ____________________________________________________________
