If the police were talking to Sheila, trying to get her to calm down, why would they not ask her brother to talk to her? This whole conversation was never mentioned to JB, yet allegedly lasted several hours. He was only 50m away, if that, no one mentioned it to him??
The verbal exchanges between the police at the scene and Sheila, did not last several hours - but such exchanges did occur and were recorded on the audio tapes being made of the eavesdrop from the patched intercept organised by the operator...
Why woild police tell Jeremy what could be heard via the telephone intercept, he was not with the firearms officers when they received this information via the link up from the control room, Jeremy was along pages lane with uniformed police officers who did not have the same radio frequencies as the firearms officers, so they would not be privy to any information passed between the control room (including the eavesdrop) and the firearms team the scene...
What I find strange, is the means by which the information from the scene, was recorded as being transmitted to the control room by the occupants of CA07, since they were not in direct communication with the control room o0n the same frequency whic allowed the eavesdrop to be transmitted to the firearms officers at the scene?
However...
I think this situation could have arisen because Jeremy was with the officers at the patrol car (CA07) and police did not want him to learn or hear the live information coming from within the farmhouse via the eavesdrop. We there fore must have had an op-en link from the control room to the firearms officers at the scene via the operators 999 link up, and another line of communication between the occupants of CA07, and the control room. What information was passed between the control room and the officers at the scene, has still not properly been disclosed despite over 26 years having elapsed since the time of this incident...
