I have received information that the 223 photographs contained in album (2) were numbered consecutively, 1 to 223, to deliberately fool the defence into thinking that the 223 pictures contained in the misleadingly titled, 'MASTER COPY ALBUM', were all that existed in the investigation.

I NOW REALISE that I might have not heard what Ewen said at that time, and that what he could have said, was that many of the photograghs in the album were taken during a police exercise at the scene, at the material time with the bodies of victims still insitu...
