I'm interested in ND/5 which is June's nightdress. In 1991 Davidson was asked by the London police why ND/5 was also given to the window catch taken from the bathroom by RWCook on the 27th September 1985. Elliot also claimed to have taken the said same catch on 1st October 1985.
Here we have ND/5 June's nightdress on its way to the lab on the 4th October 1985.
Davidson explains that there may have been two reasons the catch which was originally ND/5 had turned into RWC/8
"There's two possible reasons, one os that ND/5 was already allocated to another exhibit, um, there is, there may have been a mistake on my part that perhaps I received that exhibit, I called it my own exhibit in actual fact it was RWC'c exhibit no 8. and so that is possibly the answer."
I know I keep harping on about this, but how is it possible to allocate an existing exhibit number ND/5 to two exhibits from the same crime scene? Davidson was in charge...He explains the procedure's and that each exhibit number follow's the other and they are logged....
Each exhibit is clearly labelled and recorded if there appears to be two exhibits with the same exhibit numbers, then sure this is a little bit more that a mistake....
If they can get the numbers mixed up then who is to say the actual exhibits are from the same crime...
