You mentioned many years ago that Jeremy was being investigated by the drugs squad and had been put under surveillance, though you didn't know for certain whether that surveillance included the night of the killings. You also stated years ago that Jeremy was under surveillance by the drugs squad when he let himself into the farmhouse via the bathroom window (after the killings). How did you know, and did Jeremy try to get any documents related specifically to that investigation? Did Jeremy confirm (or admit) to you that he was growing some cannabis plants in his garden? If the police knew about those plants, I imagine they might well have been interested in his phone calls. Has Jeremy been told specifically that information relating to this drugs squad investigation is unavailable to him due to PII?
Yes...
Jeremy knew about that part of the surveillance when he climbed into the farmhouse through the window you speak about, the drugs squad were following him as part of an observation which was part of the overall 28 day surveillance which I learned about a month ago. We did not know that he was actually under surveillance on the night of the shootings, although Jeremy and myself queried whether or not he might have been? Since that time, Jeremy has obtained copies of that part of the surveillances which took place in September 1985, but he has never asked for the earlier records because he does not know that on the evening/night of the shootings he was under surveillance by the drugs squad. I myself have only recently been told that this was the case, although I have not actually seen any evidence that what I have been told is true, I have no reason to disbelieve what I am being told...
The interesting thing about Jeremy getting into the farmhouse through the window on this occasion, came about because Jeremy had not got a key to the door and he needed to get some money from the safe I think he said in the house, so he climbed in through the window and was observed by the surveillance team. The relatives made out that it was they who introduced the route of the window for Jeremy to get into the farmhouse at the time of the shootings, but they could have got that information from the police, hence why it was not until mid September 1985 that the relatives introduced the window access and exit route to the farmhouse?
