There are several police assertions that Jeremy said he tried dialling Witham, but Jeremy doesn't confirm doing so in his statements and it seems he doesn't recall doing so or telling any officer that he did.

I'm suggesting Nevill called Pc West at 03:26 before Jeremy did so at 03:36, and that his log of that call has been withheld. It's possible that Nevill tried to call Witham first (and mentioned that he'd done so to Pc West) and Jeremy didn't.

I am aware that Bonnett didn't need to log Jeremy's telephone number. What scipio_usmc stated was that Bonnett's log includes all the information that Pc West obtained from Jereny, which isn't the case.

Pc West makes no mention of CA07 being told by him that he would ask, or had asked, Jeremy to meet them at WHF.

The police who say he told them that he called Witham first were West and the police who he spoke with At THE SCENE prior to the house being raided. 

Why would West and police at the scene assert he told them he called Witham first unless he said such?  Why would that suggest that Nevill called Witham?

Your claims don't make any sense.

Has Nevill spoke to West himself then West would have told Jeremy such when he spoke to Jeremy and would have reacted from Nevill's call.  The same way that this morning when I called to say there was  a bear in the woods near the local high school that police told me they were already aware of it and had been alerted by someone else so were already taking care of it.  I figured they should know so that kids did not go play gym outside without being foreawarned.

I doubt it, lookout, as he was asked to go there very early on.

Caroline, you are claiming that Bonnett sent car CA07 because he said so in his statement. However, Pc Saxby's statement says "I received a message over my personal radio, from Chelmsford Police Station . . .", and makes no mention of Bonnett or HQIR, except for saying later (after PS Bews, Pc Myall and Jeremy came running back from the farmhouse) that Ps Bews contacted the Information Room to request armed assistance and give a situation report.

Which could just as easily mean from Chelmsford HQ because both were referred to as Chelmsford police station and often required asking officers to specify which they were referring to.

As far as I know, no officer corrected himself after saying "Chelmsford Police Station". Pc West was asked in court where the police station was for the benefit of the jury, who might not have realized that the station and the police HQ were entirely separate buildings.

In the COLP interviews anytime they said Chelmsford they made the police specify whether they meant the regular station or HQ.

Did any officer then say they meant HQ? Did any officer say HQ, then correct that to Chelmsford police station?

If they did or if they didn't, what difference does it make? None of this proves a call from Neville.

Since the interviewers made sure to make them specify in advance it made no difference.

Your desperation though is telling.  You are not being driven by facts and evidence.  Those Jeremy supporters who argue Nevill phoned police argue that either Nevill called West or alternatively Bonnett.  How coudl the logs suggest he called both of them?  Far from there being evidence to establish such there is just wild speculation and trying to grasp at straws to suggest he called one of them and any one will do.  You are grasping at straws right now.

West and Bonnett working together in conjunction contacted various police cars.  Bonnett's log thus reflects the cars that were contacted.  Both men say they were in contact with one another regarding such. It makes no difference who contacted which car then told the other about it. Who contacted which car then told the other doesn't make a call from Nevill possible.

If Nevill had phoned Bonnett before Jeremy called West then when West contacted Bonnett he would have told west about how Nevill had already called and that he had already taken care of dispatching  a car.  So West dispatching the cars instead of Bonnett just makes a call from Nevill predating the call from Jeremy even less realistic and it alreayd was unrealistic.  So I don't understand at all where you are trying to go with this.

A call from Nevill to West makes no sense because he would have called 999 not look up a police station number if he were going to call police.  If he had called West before Jeremy then he would have told Jeremy he had already received a call from Nevill.  Moreover, someone in the HQ IR room would have been contacted regarding such call. Then both would have been contacted again by Jeremy and would have noted to Jeremy the call from Nevill, that cars had already been dispatched and not to worry.  They would not have asked Jeremy to go meet the cars either in that case because they would have expected the police to meet Nevill.
 
This issue has no legs at all and frankly those who keep arguing there was a call made by Neville are tossing their credibility out the window.

They don't and I didn't say they did. They suggest both Nevill and Jeremy telephoned Pc West.

West and Bonnett working together in conjunction contacted various police cars.
Pc West testified he made two calls to the police (the second to Witham), lasting only about 3 minutes in total, which was insufficient for them to be working together in conjunction in the way you described.

If Nevill had phoned Bonnett before Jeremy called West then when West contacted Bonnett he would have told West about how Nevill had already called and that he had already taken care of dispatching  a car.
Nothing in Bonnett's log indicates Nevill called him directly. Bonnett logged that he received his information from Pc 1990, i.e., Pc West.

A call from Nevill to West makes no sense because he would have called 999 not look up a police station number if he were going to call police.
We don't know he needed to look up the number. It's easy to say in hindsight that he should have dialled 999. Presumably, he didn't at the time think there was a major emergency.

If he had called West before Jeremy then he would have told Jeremy he had already received a call from Nevill.
Not necessarily. Pc West just got on with handling Jeremy's call. Telling Jeremy that Nevill had already called wouldn't have helped Jeremy.

Moreover, someone in the HQ IR room would have been contacted regarding such call.
Of course. Pc West probably contacted Bonnett on both occasions.

Then both would have been contacted again by Jeremy.
No, because Jeremy was asked to go straight to WHF so that he could talk directly to the police there. Also, Jeremy had probably said his father wanted him to go to WHF.

They would not have asked Jeremy to go meet the cars either in that case because they would have expected the police to meet Nevill.
Again, no, because the situation was potentially serious, with no certainty that Nevill could meet them.

They suggest one call - the call from Jeremy, the information is the same on both and Jeremy's mistake of Sheila's name is repeated.

Nothing in Bonnett's log indicates Nevill called him directly. Bonnett logged that he received his information from Pc 1990, i.e., Pc West.

Exactly, no call from Neville just one from Jeremy, passed by West to Bonnett. If he had called West twice, there would be two logs - another from Jeremy. However, a second call wouldn't be required and Jeremy would have been informed that the incident had been reported by his father and was being dealt with.

We don't know he needed to look up the number. It's easy to say in hindsight that he should have dialled 999. Presumably, he didn't at the time think there was a major emergency.


He'd already called Jeremy 'presumably' if he has now decided to call the police, the situation must have escalated and yet he uses a local cop shop number and doesn't dial 999. It doesn't fit and when Jeremy called West WOULD have mentioned that his father had called and they were dealing with it, it's common sense.

Not necessarily. Pc West just got on with handling Jeremy's call. Telling Jeremy that Nevill had already called wouldn't have helped Jeremy.

If the incident had 'already' been logged with a call from Neville, he wouldn't need to log it again and regardless of whether it helped Jeremy (he wasn't a social worker), he would have mentioned to 'inform' him that it was already being dealt with. Like I said, it's just common sense and is one of the major stumbling blocks in your argument.

Of course. Pc West probably contacted Bonnett on both occasions.

There is nothing to even suggest that Bonnett logged a second call from West

No, because Jeremy was asked to go straight to WHF so that he could talk directly to the police there. Also, Jeremy had probably said his father wanted him to go to WHF.

Don't know what that refers to.

Again, no, because the situation was potentially serious, with no certainty that Nevill could meet them.

Potentially serious? With no 999 call from either Jeremy or Neville? I agree with Scipio, they wouldn't have required Jeremy to go to WHF if police had spoken to Neville and again, would have told him it was being dealt with.

They don't and I didn't say they did. They suggest both Nevill and Jeremy telephoned Pc West.

1) My point was that SOME Jeremy supporters insist Bonnett's log proves Nevill made a call to Bonnett while some other Jeremy Jeremy supporters insist West's log and/or Bonnett's log suggest Nevill called 
West.  The only common allegations made by such supperters are that the logs were doctored to conceal that Nevill made a call to police.

So that means Jeremy supporters looking at these documents insist they were doctored (based on no evidence) but disagree over what they suggest. 

How can one claim the logs are clearcut evidence of anything when the logs have to be altered in order for them to suggest Nevill made a call and Jeremy supporters who believe such can't even agree over whether if altered they would establish a call from Nevill to West or Bonnett? 

In the meantime there are plenty of Jeremy supporters who don't believe the logs were altered and don't suggest there was a call from Nevill to West or Bonnett.  That makes the claim it is cear cut evidence even more laughable.

2) How do the logs suggest that Jeremy and Nevill both phoned West? While the claim Nevill phoned police is totally unsuported and incredulous,  the claim Nevill called West is even more implausible than the claim he phoned Bonnett.  You support the more ridiculous allegation.

Why would Nevill have bothered to phone Jeremy asking him to come help disarm his siter if Nevill planned to call police 2 seconds after he hung up the phone with Jeremy?  Why would he look up the phone number to Witham instead of calling 999?  How would he be able to look up the number to Witham and dial in 2 seconds so that Jeremy would get a busy signal?  If West had spoken to Nevill before Jeremy he would have told such to jeremy when Jeremy called.  The same way police always tell someone if they already received a report about the same thing previously and are already responding.

So as far as the 2 different lines of allegations go you support the one even more absurd that doesn't fit Jeremy's story about the phone immediately being busy and there is no documentary support for at all.   

Pc West testified he made two calls to the police (the second to Witham), lasting only about 3 minutes in total, which was insufficient for them to be working together in conjunction in the way you described.

He also was heavily criticized afterwards as being totally unprepared to testify and not having refreshed his memory with respect to the case and was testifying a year afterwards so havd plenty of calls in the meantime to handle and had no reaosn to rememebr precisely how long he spoke to Jeremy before putting him on hold or after.  Nor how long he spoke with the various police/dispatchers he coordinated his efforts with.  His estimation of the time it took for Jeremy to convey to him eveyrhting conveyed and then o convey such to others and coordinate a response is not credible.  Nor is it credible that he only asked Bonnett which cars were in the area.  Clearly he told Bonnett eveyrthing because Bonnett says he did and wrote such down. If he didn't tell Bonneet all the details then how oculd Bonnett have recorded them?  So right off the bat we know West messed up and there was more coordination going on than he recalled.  Therefore his estimation of how much time that coordination took is of little use when he could not even remember all the coordination taking place.  Jeremy says he waited on hold longer than West said and in this one instance his claims are more credible because the facts and evidence support more time being spent than West suggested.

Nothing in Bonnett's log indicates Nevill called him directly. Bonnett logged that he received his information from Pc 1990, i.e., Pc West.

Nor does it suggest a call from Nevill to West.  Your allegation is that West told Bonnett about a call received from Nevill and that subsequently Bonnett altered it to pretend that the information came from Jeremy. The allegation makes no sense though and is unsupprted by anything.  It is just a bare bones allegation based on deseprately wanting to believe that Nevill made a call because that would prove Jeremy innocent.  So people who desperately want to believe Jeremy is innocent come up with this allegation out of thin air to try to support the view they hold.  Jeremy supporters have no evidence of his innocence so have to manufacture it that is the bottom line.

Not all of them manufacture evidence though some admit they have no evidence and just live on blind faith.

We don't know he needed to look up the number. It's easy to say in hindsight that he should have dialled 999. Presumably, he didn't at the time think there was a major emergency.

1) Why would Nevill know Witham police station's number?   I called my local police yesterday to report a bear and still don't know the number offhand.

2) Why would Nevill call Jeremy at all to ask him to come help if he planned to call police let alone would he call Jeremy before the police?  If anythign he would call Jeremy after.

3) If Nevill had called already and told West everything then West would have EVERY reason to tell Jeremy he already received the call directly from Nevill so would not need to hear what Nevill told Jeremy.  If he heard from the horses mouth why would he need to hear it all over again from Jeremy?  Furthermore if he already dispatched someone he would tell that to Jeremy.  To feed West all the details from Nevill and then again from Jeremy makes no sense.  You just note hat Jeremy called as well after Nevill.

My name is Nevill Bamber, my daughter has gone crazy and got a hold of a gun I need help.  I called my son to ask him to come help. 

After contacting HQ and organizing a response they receive a call from Jeremy telling them about how their father had called.  What do they do?

They say yes we already know your father called us we sent a unit on the way.  There is no need to place him on hold and try to coordinate a new repsonse or to take into detail what his father claimed to him because they spoke to his father already.

Your position is totally baseless and untenable.

It's already been pointed out that the information is not the same - Sheila's age is given differently. Also, Bonnett's log doesn't say that the information about Sheila came from Jeremy (reporting a call from his father). The subject is completed as Daughter gone berserk, suggesting that Nevill gave the information.

there would be two logs - another from Jeremy.
We don't know that Pc West didn't log Nevill's call prior to logging Jeremy's call.

The situation needn't have changed at all. Nevill could simply have changed his mind.

If the incident had 'already' been logged with a call from Neville, he wouldn't need to log it again
It's not a matter of need. Pc West just followed the usual procedure. It needn't become evident until later whether a second log is important.

There is nothing to even suggest that Bonnett logged a second call from West
That's just your opinion. The different logging of Sheila's age suffices.

Don't know what that refers to.
What exactly are you specifying with the word "that"?

Potentially serious? With no 999 call from either Jeremy or Neville?
Seriousness depends on what has been communicated rather than the number dialled.

I don't agree with any of the above and this has been done to death. If you want to believe that Neville called in the face of all the evidence pointing to the contrary, that up to you. It's pointless just repeating the same things - however. I am even more sure than before that Neville made no such call when I read the excuses put forward in favour of the call.

I must just add that it's not speculation to maintain that West would have told Jeremy about a call from Neville, it's 'common sense'

Wow the age is the only difference, there is a big thing.  It was pointed out to you already that both ages were wrong that in fact Sheila was 28. It was also pointed out to you that even under your scenario the information on Bonnett's log was passed to Bonnett from West not passed to Bonnett from Nevill or Jeremy.  So by definition that means either:

1) West provided a different age to Bonnett than West wrote down on his log

or

2) Bonnett wrote down a different age then West provided to him

Neither circumstance suggests a call from Nevill.  Your argument that the age difference suggests Nevill called is downright stupid.

Also, Bonnett's log doesn't say that the information about Sheila came from Jeremy (reporting a call from his father). The subject is completed as Daughter gone berserk, suggesting that Nevill gave the information.

Bonnett's log does indeed say it came from Jeremy. It clearly states message passed to West from Bamber's son after the phone went dead. 



We don't know that Pc West didn't log Nevill's call prior to logging Jeremy's call.

We do indeed known West didn't log a call from Nevill first.  If that had been the case then:

1) there would be a log from West listing Nevill as the caller.  Instead there is just a log showing Jeremy as the caller.

2) Bonnett's log would indicate the Nevill called and relayed the message instead of saying his son passed it to West.

3) West would have told Jeremy that he already spoke to his father and dispatched a car to WHF so Jeremy had nothing to worry about and he would have no need to take down Nevill's phone number and everything he told Jeremy because West would already have all such information.  He also would not have needed to put Jeremy on hold. 

4) He and Bonnett would have included in their written statements/verbal testimony that Nevill had called.

So you are have nothing at all to raise to suggest that Nevill called.

The situation needn't have changed at all. Nevill could simply have changed his mind.

Once again ridiculous.  Jeremy said that he immediately called back to WHF and the phone was busy.  So you are suggesting he decided to call only Jeremy not police but instantly upon hanging up change dhis mind and decided to call police.  Instead of dialing 999 though he calls the Chelmsford Police station and he is able to call because he has the number memorized though it is not his local station.  Give me a break!  Talk about trying to build a house of cards...
