"Sample photo's taken of fire surround - items for possible submission to lab" - entry dated, 18th September 1985, document signed by DS Davidson (SOC) and DS White...
Well...
we know that additional scratch marks were made to the aga surround on 11th September 1985, when DI Cook and PC Bird were present at the scene. We also know that Cook, Bird and Davidson were part of the scenes of crime team which carried out the examination at the scene, between 7th and 9th August 1985. We also know that on 20th September 1985, a silencer was submitted to the lab' along with other items to be checked for blood and fibres, and that the examination of this silencer which took place on 25th September 1985, produced evidence of the paint ingrained into the silencers end cap...
There was obviously some sort of collusion between the police and David Boutflour regarding the found on the end cap of the silencer...
For some reason, although the date of this action report is 18th September 1985, according to the contents of the report, David Boutflour is only mentioning scouring on the underside of the mantelpiece on right hand side - he does not make any mention of the scour marks on the front facing left hand panel which materialized there on 11th September 1985?
If Boutflour saw the scouring marks on the underside of the mantelpiece on 18th September 1985, he must also have seen the other scouring marks on the front left hand side face of the same surround, and he must have known that those additional marks were not there on the aga surround when he went to the scene on 10th August 1985 (over a month previously) with his sister Ann and his farther, at the time he allegedly found the silencer in the gun cupboard. In other words, Boutflour knew that the police had deliberately damaged the aga surround by scratching it, and that police still had possession of a silencer by the time the second part of the investigation got under way on 7th September 1985, in order to mark the aga surround with it on 11th September 1985? He must have known this but chose to keep silent about it, so did the police who I have named...
Boutflour and the police knew that additional marks had been made to the aga surround on 11th September 1985, and they all knew that red paint from the aga surround and the silencer was a crucial part of the prosecutions case to help get Jeremy convicted for the murders - yet they all conveniently forgot to mention that marks were made on the aga surround a month after the events, and that the red paint on the end of one of the silencers got there at the time this additional damage was made...
