'You've got to understand. He's not the sort of person to get organisations involved. He likes to keep it in the family. The family name and all that. All the treatment she has been having, it's all private. He doesn't even like the NHS'.
Twenty one years later and a different version emerges.
Adam I work at a school in the evenings. If I have to phone the police I have a special police number to phone instead of me having to dial 999.
Now I know that Bamber did not have a special number to phone. But his father being a majestrate might have influenced the way he was thinking? Who knows, perhaps at witham the person who picked up the phone might be someone he or his father knew? After all the majestrates court is right next door to the police station, well just behind it. But as I said before, it was around 3 in the morning, he was not properly awake. The police had been awake all night. There was a chill in the air, especially in the countryside at that time. All these factors could have governed Bamber's actions that morning.
