Exhibits, SBJ/2, SBJ/3 and SBJ/4

DS "Stan" Jones, took photographs at the scene, in the kitchen (SBJ/2) and the downstairs toilet (SBJ/3), facts which were not disclosed to Bamber or his legal team, or to the court which tried Bamber for these murders. Both photographs (SBJ/2 and SBJ/3) were subsequently destroyed under very suspicious circumstances...

Let us also not forget...

That DS Jones also seized the silencer (SBJ/1) from the scene on 7th August 1985, which they spoke to Jeremy about on 9th August 1985...

By the time Jeremy came to trial in October 1986, any reference to these exhibits, SBJ/2, SBJ/3 and SBJ/4, had been consigned to the garbage bin, so that no inferences could be made about the silencer (SBJ/1) having been found by DS "Stan" Jones, and not by David Boutflour...

Entry 589 - the photograph taken by DS Jones, in the downstairs toilet (SBJ/3) is an important photograph, because this was the police at whf where Anthony Pargeter, normally kept his .22 Bruno bolt action rifle, and silencer. Did DS "Stan" Jones, photograph Pargeters rifle and silencer at the scene on the morning of the murders? If so, why did Pargeter tell the COLP investigators that his rifle and silencer was not present at the scene on the morning of the shootings, but that rather he had removed it from the farmhouse on the penultimate week-end before the shootings and taken it home with him to Bourne End, in Buckinghamshire?

Why was exhibit SBJ/3, destroyed?

[mike tesko]

These are the room s which PC David Bird (SOC) took crime scene photograph's, according to the contents of his witness statement:-

You can see that PC Bird photographed the downstairs toilet at (P), but there is no mention of DS Jones also taking a crime scene picture in that area? What could possibly have been present inside the toilet that interested DS "Stan" Jones, so much, that it caused him to take an additional photograph of it?

Why destroy such a photograph, without letting Bamber or his legal team, or the court see it first??

[smiffy]

A reasonable view for why that evidence was destroyed was because it countered the prosecution version of events in a harmful way.

SBJ 2 and SBJ3  are both attributed to DS Jones but also contain SOCO  which is scene of crimes officers so that could suggest they would originally have been taken by David Bird and should have DB numbers if anything.

SBJ  DB....seen that before in the swap around numbering for silencers.  It seems some exhibit number swapping was carried out and items may have changed from one persons lists to anothers lists involving these two officers. DB later on gets the socks from the bedroom put on his list of exhibits.
