Jeremy Bamber, for all his many faults in the popularity charts, he really did receive a distress call from Neville Bamber at around 3.25am. He really did try at least twice to re-establish contact with Neville, only to be met with an engaged tone, suggestive that Neville had already obtained a dialing tone at his end, or that Neville was already talking to somebody else. Jeremy, being the son of the Chairman of the Witham Magistrates bench, did what Neville would have done had he got the chance, he would have contacted the local police at Witham, with whom Neville had a good working relationship linked to his part time employment as a local Magistrate. So, impulsively Jeremy tried contacting the local police at Witham police station, to check to see if they had heard from Neville. His call went unanswered. Maybe this caused Jeremy to suspect that the local police were already on their way to the incident which Neville had just brought to his attention. So, in a state of subdued frustration he decided to call Julie Mugford at 3.30am, 'There's something wrong at home', he found himself saying to her. She responed with a cold 'go back to bed'...
Still somewhat confused about the nature of Nevilles call, how the line had been cut short so unexpectedly, how the line was producing 'an engaged tone' when he rang back, how the local police at Witham were not responding to his call, and to top it all off Julie showing no interest or concern, she simply telling him in a rather cold off hand manner to, 'go back to bed'...
How did Julie know that he had been in bed, prior to receiving Nevilles call, and prior to making his call to her? 'Go back to bed', she had told him, 'Go back to bed'...
This was an interesting comment on Julies part, in view of her later stating that on the previous evening Jeremy had told her in another telephone conversation, allegedly, 'tonight's the night'...
'Tonight's the night', and 'Go back to bed', somehow don't smack of a plan carefully arranged with Julies knowlege, to murder his entire family, now does it?
'Go back to bed'...
But, he didn't go back to bed. Maybe he then started getting himself dressed, and then found time to pick up the telephone directory and look up Chelmsford police station telephone number. Whilst he was looking up the number, the occupants of CA07 were being deployed to the same incident which Neville had told him about. Jeremy didn't know this at the time, of course, but the deployment of Bews, Myall and Saxby to the farmhouse at 3.35am, prior to Jeremy's own answered call to Chelmsford police station at precisely 3.36am, would eventually in the year 2017 contribute significantly to his release from custody after serving 32 years behind bars for a series of crimes he could not have, and did not commit. Evidence provided on behalf of 'a philosophical Internationally acclaimed expert' would in that year (2017) outline the case for Jeremy's innocence, based upon the sequential occurrence of known timed events, some unchallenged, others open to interpretation. This presentation will be supported by specially prepared versions of the (C1) Communications log entries, and the second police Communication log entries, showing the state of play on a minute to minute blow of the unfolding drama as witness by Malcom Bonnett from 3.26am, onwards, and from PC Wests perspective involving Jeremy's influence in the proceedings from 3.36am, onward. I know this will come to pass, and when it happens I will sit quietly in my room, and I doubt that anyone will stop to think for one moment about the contribution I have made, to try and make this happen. I am no expert, the only qualification I got in philosophy, was a pass with a distinction, after taking philosophy up whilst a serving prisoner at HMP Full Sutton between 1989 and 1990, as part of an advanced certificate in education, at Hull University, which also included a course on sociology, and economics...
