Even Miss Marple would have seen through that story - sounds more like a frame-up "We just happened upon it gov - honest! And might I just point you to these ere scratches on the mantel" 'Wink wink!'

And above all,," we don't like him ". ( as said by Stan Jones about Jeremy.) So we'll lock him up.

I was interviewed (as were other locals, I hasten to add!!!) by the police at the time Diana Jones went missing. Robert Jones, not unlike Jeremy, was not somebody the police warmed to. Flippantly, I asked them if he did "it," I was told "Oh, he did it all right. Slippery customer, but we'll get the bastard"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But they didn't, did they, which may partly be behind why they DID get Jeremy.

You may never know the full truth of what you have just written, lookout? It is a well know police tactic that if they don't like someone they get a hunch about them and persue them and even twist evidence in order to get that person even if the senario comes straight out of an Agatha Christie crime story. And I suggest that, that is what happened to poor old Jeremy. He got caught up in the fantasy land of RWB.

I'd actually said this from the beginning,,because the police got rattled for not " getting their man " in the Diane Jones case,,,they then had to justify their " detection rates ",,and I swear this is partly the reason why they nabbed Jeremy.

Their detection rates would have been the same if they'd left Sheila as the culprit.

Graham,,,it's a fact. If your face doesn't fit,,,or if you appear to be more intelligent than they are,,,then you've had it chum. Some police really are unbelievably thick.!

Oh they are believably thick mark my words.

So why wasn't the " big boss " Taff Jones believed then,Bridget,,,,because he was right first time.?
Could it be that the case was " too cut and dried " for the rest of them so they stretched it out a bit more.?
To look as though they were working.?

Are you suggesting that they were a bit bored / underworked and decided to take the difficult route and frame an innocent man for light entertainment / to justify their salaries?

Reminds me of Colin Stagg and Operation Ezdelll - police were convinced that he was guilty and in the end, he'd been telling the truth all along and Robert Napper was the culprit! Had they not put so much emphasis on Stagg they might have caught Napper earlier and stopped him from killing Samantha Bisset and her daughter Jazmine! But they just didn't like Colin Stagg!

Hi Caroline,,,Colin Stagg was another chap I felt sorry for when he was arrested,,,again,,,because the police didn't like him.! What on earth has that got to do with anything.? Yet you get some really butt ugly-looking criminals,yet nobody says a word. Something to do with them not looking the part,,I suspect.
Mind you,,let's face it,,anyone who looks like a " hardened " criminal,,the police aren't going to say anything,are they.ha ?
