We have been told that there was no billing record for individual calls made from whf, but I have copies of billing information up to July 1985, from 1984...
EP must also have obtained the billing records for August, and September 1985, but have withheld them under pii...
As a result of EP obtaining the billing records from whf, they established that a call from whf to Jeremy's cottage was made. EP obtained the billing records once the nature of the investigation changed from SC/688/85 to SC/786/85, on 6th September 1985, and which coincided with Julie Mugford introducing information about a hit man, being hired by Jeremy, to carry out the killings...
Once the billing information was obtained, EP were satisfied that a call was made from whf to 9 head street, but they started to investigate who could have made the call - was it Ralph Bamber? Was it the hit man? or was it Jeremy Bamber, himself? EP worked on the assumption that a hit man had called Jeremy from whf to tell him "it was done", but once Mathew McDonald was cleared, they abandoned that idea, and focussed on the possibility that Jeremy could have rung his own number from whf, and once Jeremy was in custody, EP seized an answer phone and several cassette tapes from his cottage which they had an expert examine to see if there was any evidence that Jeremy had called himself from the scene, during the early hours of the morning...
The results from the examination of Jeremy's answer phone and the corresponding audio tapes has so far never been disclosed and continues to be withheld under pii...
It should also be noted, that the claims that various clocks, in the control room, and at the boarding house where Mugford was in digs, were ten to fifth-teen minutes fast, is / was nothing but a red herring, designed to build a smokescreen, to cloud the issue over the timing of the actual call that was made from whf to Jeremy's cottage...
As I say...
EP know there was a call made from whf to Jeremy's cottage, they have the billing records to prove it...
They were focusing on trying to identify who actually made the call, not that no such call was ever made...
I do not have the August / September 1985, billing note, but I do have others up to July 1985...
If the other billing details up to July 1985 exist, then the August / September 1985, ones, must also exist...
EP are not disclosing them because it would prove a call was made from WHF to Jeremy's cottage - not who made the call...
in my opinion...
