If the CPS had disclosed the C6 form (3.26am) filled out by Malcom Bonnett, and the C1 form (3.36am) completed by PC West, and both of PC Wests witness statements, one dated, 9 August, the other dated 13 September 1985, and PC Cracknell and PC Norcup had both given accounts regarding what the witnessed up until 3.33am when they were with PC West in the control room, and police had not destroyed copies of the audio recordings relating to the 3.26am call from Neville, the 3.36am audio recording of Jeremy's call to PC West, and contact between PC West and Malcom Bonnett after Neville's 3.26am call, and after Jeremy's 3.36am call, and a transcript of the first message PC West passed by HQ radio to the occupants of CA07 at 3.30am, and a transcript of the second occasion when PC West contacted CA07 after PC West had spoken with Jeremy, we would not be here three decades later debating this issue!
PC's Cracknell and Norcup would have witnessed what PC West told CA07 at 3.30am, information which could not have originated from Jeremy Bamber, because at the same time Jeremy (3.30am) was contacting Julie Mugford - he was actually in the process of speaking to Douglas Dale, who had to go and awaken Julie Mugford and tell her that Jeremy was on the phone! Jeremy was therefore effectively placed on hold whilst Dale went to fetch Julie from her room! Therefore, Jeremy couldn't have been on hold waiting for Dale to bring Mugford to the phone, and at one and the same time be on hold whilst PC West contacted his HQ Incident Room, followed by him contacting CA07 by use of the HQ police radio..
You can see why 'Stan' Jones, and other cops tried to alter the timing of Jeremy's call via Douglas Dale (3.30am) to Julie Mugford, between 3.00am to 3.30am! They attempted to do this, because they knew there was a real problem concerning calls that were made, and police radio messages that were passed between 3.26am and 3.42am! Jeremy couldn't be on the land line phone back at his cottage to PC West and to Douglas Dale/Julie Mugford at 3.30am! Everything points to the occupants of CA07 and CA05 having been deployed to the incident at whf (3.35am, and 3.36am) as a result of information received from a different source than from Jeremy because it is without doubt that he did not make his call to police until after he finished with his 3.30am call to Mugford via Dale! We know (now) that PC West spoke to the occupants of CA07 at 3.30am, passing on information that there was something serious developing at whf! That message was passed by West to CA07 before Jeremy had finished his call to Julie Mugford! Whilst it's on record that Mugford told Jeremy to go back to bed, the occupants of CA07 had already been told to go to the farmhouse! There was no mention of Jeremy Bamber in this first contact, there couldn't have been because he hadn't by that stage contacted the police by that (3.30am) stage! Of course, we know that Jeremy himself had tried to contact Witham police station himself by telephone but this was met with no response! He attempted that call prior to making his 3.30am call to Julie Mugford via Dale! During his trial testimony PC West sought to decieve the court and all interested parties by declaring that he only made two calls after being contacted by Jeremy and putting Jeremy on hold - he said that he called HQ Incident Room to get the name of the nearest police station to the remote farmhouse, which he found out was Witham police station, and he then said he called Witham police station on the phone! Well, that account cannot be true because by the time Jeremy had finished talking to Julie Mugford, and he had then contacted PC West by telephone (3.36am) and PC West had placed Jeremy on hold, the occupants of CA07 had already been contacted by PC West (3.30am), and they were on their way to the incident at whf long before PC West received Jeremy's call and placed him on hold!
These facts provide Jeremy Bamber with the perfect alibi!
Neville Bamber was clearly still alive by 3.26am, and beyond!
There is no evidence in either what Neville Bamber told police in his 3.26am call, or in the details provided by Jeremy Bamber in his 3.36am call to PC West, that anyone had in fact been shot, wounded or killed by that stage! Cops back in the control room were not in a hurry to deploy teams of firearms officers to the incident! They must have felt confident that Neville Bamber might be able to deal with his own daughter, otherwise, why wait until after 04.11am/04.16am before firearms were authorised? The first point of contact with the police was arguably prior to 3.26am, or thereabouts, irrespective of the nonsensical claim that it was Jeremy and not Neville who had made that 3.26am call! What we now know, is that although the telephone line between Neville and Jeremy was cut off, the same cannot be said about the telephone line between whf and the police from 3.26am, onward - the handset was effectively left off the hook by Neville Bamber! Therefore, police who had been speaking with Neville (PC West) would have been able to eavesdrop the kitchen phone after Neville Bamber concluded what he had time to say! There is every reason to believe that the kitchen phone was simply left off the hook by Neville Bamber at least from 3.26am, 03.42am, and until 3.56am! The telephone line in play when Neville Bamber spoke to Jeremy, cannot have remained open if Neville did make the 3.26am call to police (as per Malcom Bonnetts C6 form). The call to Jeremy by Neville was cut short, and Neville then called the police! When Jeremy tried to re-establish contact with Neville he kept getting the engaged tone! This is consistent with Neville contacting the police using the kitchen phone!
This provided time for Jeremy to try to contact Witham police station, without success! Of course we now know that PC West was already in contact with Witham officers by use of the HQ police radio! Jeremy then phoned his girlfriend Julie Mugford (3.30am) via being placed on hold by Dale who had to fetch her to the phone! She told Jeremy to go back to bed! But Jeremy phoned Chelmsford police and spoke to PC West (3.36am), once he had spoken to PC West, West put Jeremy on hold whilst he updated HQ Incident Room, about Mr Bambers son (Jeremy) having contacted the police, mentioning that the son had said his father had called him, telling him that his sister had got the gun, and that she was going crazy, before the telephone line went dead! PC West then updated the occupants of CA07 regarding the son, telling them that he would tell him to meet the police at the farmhouse! By the time PC West spoke to Jeremy again, police were already deployed to whf (CA07 - 3.35am, and CA05 - 3.36am), West told Jeremy this!
