The two telephone calls (3:26am and 3;36am):-

There were still people working there and relatives coming and going. It was most likely installed for their peace of mind.

And there was a cat, don't forget the cat.  :D

There was no panic alarm at the time of the murders, regardless of the lies that Mike continues to spin.

Sorry to go 'Off Topic,
   Where does the cat come in?
    Did he get in a flap?

Or conversely did Steve UK get calls from the cat called Tom?

Nah he just carried a hacksaw blade around with him.

Morning Camps  sorry no cat "flap" that is why the cat used the window that was left open for easy access for the cat of course

[campion]

Morning Susan, you may well be on the ball here.

I'm confident that the cat didn't trespass for a nap. Most likely he'd seen what the local 'hack' saw!

[No-Bits]

I seem to recall seeing a flap in the coal shed door, if so then the cat must simply have used the spare key to enter the house. 

[susan]

No Bits the cat must have slept in the coal shed my neighbours cats do and are called Sooty and Sweep

[campion]

Pardon me for saying that's a No Brainer.

The cat would have known that the locks had been changed for security purr pusses, and for that very reason no spare key would have been able to have been used by Tom(cat), Dick or Harry.

Yes you are a probably right. Sooty and Sweep aren't cats though are they? 

[susan]

campion the cat would be "hacked off" nowhere to rest its weary head

[susan]

No Bits  the cats I see covered in coal dust do look like cats 4 legs and a tail oh and whiskers

Aaah so they aren't 'The' Sooty & Sweep, now I understand.

Back to the drawing board eh ! 'H'.
If you think about it, you could become a Puss Artist, or even a ventriloquist.

Keep swallowing Camps, a few more times and it'll be summer again. 

[campion]

Not only do I find your defensive posts hard to swallow, but also your reasoning does not follow.
The old adage is:- One swallow doesn't make a Summer - Not quite what you are advocating.

BTW how long since the lovely 'Summer' has been posting. Hope she's SS&BF !
