City of London Police (COLP) serve notices on DS Davidson, and DC Hammersley

DC Hammersley had an emotional breakdown when he was served with a notice of intent to interview him, on the 24th April 1991,  by COLP :-

You will remember that DC Hammersley was one of the exhibit officers at the scene?

As you will see, by reference to comments he made, at the time to COLP (1991) that he was anxious to mention that he did not find something or other, without even being asked about anything - something was clearly playing on his mind...

This is very interesting! I wonder what the complaints against them were about, and why DC Hammersley was so distressed.

I thought Mike said that DS Hammersley was not at the scene on the day of the murders.  ???

Alarm bells are ringing for me. Very loud ones as well. What the hell went on for someone to be so uncomfortable talking about it. The interview was going to cause him that much distress he wanted it straight away because the wait would be too much to bear. What didn't he discover? Any ideas.

Love to see them Mike. This is all very disturbing
--------------------------------------------------

These interview notes are very revealing - they include reference to why a paint a sample was taken from the kitchen mantelpiece at whf, on 8th August 1985 (two days before silencer was allegedly found in gun cupboard by relatives on 10th August 1985) and it is during this interview of DS Davidson, that it comes to light that EP seized a gun at the scene from somewhere downstairs that had pint ingrained onto the end of its barrel, and that this was not, and is not a reference to the silencer...

It is important to identify this gun, and to establish where at th e scene it was found, and any examination at the lab' to confirm that paint found upon its barrel, was the same as that on the mantelpiece?

Marks which were obviously present on the mantelpiece by 8th August 1985, were matched to a guns barrel, but this information was covered up, to enable the silencer evidence to be incorporated...

I will be posting DS Davidson's interview by COLP shortly on a separate thread...

"I didn't discover it..." The investigation of whatever 'it' was clearly frightened the daylights out of Hammersley and, according to DH, damaged his marriage.  Interesting.  Thanks for this, Mike

I don't suppose this would be the same David Hammersley? I've no evidence that it is - just a random web search find...

It's not entirely implausible though is it, given that we're told the man was having a breakdown at the time of his interview?

Look, EP found a weapon downstairs that had paint on its barrel that they believed was used during the struggle in the kitchen between RB and his killer - yet identity of this gun has been deliberately withheld...
