Key photographs taken of gun cupboard, on 7th August 1985, have been deliberately removed, to conceal for the fact that Pargeters rifle and sound moderator were present at the scene, at the time of the shootings:-
53. Photographs were taken of all the items discovered downstairs in the office at white House Farm, in the gun cupboard while the house was being searched on 7th August 1985, yet these photographs have been removed. The inference by Jeremy Bamber’s Defence team is that they did in fact reveal the presence of a second sound moderator, (COLP Enquiry, paragraphs 1 – 211 and 2.57). These photographs are referenced as strip (white label) 0039 and have had eight of the negatives removed, (negatives 1 – 6 missing and 9 and 10). It is submitted that Essex Police did this to conceal that Anthony Pargeter’s .22 rifle and sound moderator were also in the gun cupboard at White House Farm, where David Boutflour later found the second sound moderator on 11th September 1985.
