How it started

[Kaldin]

Kaldin, when we lived in our old house with sash windows we had to push over like a semi circle catch to lock them, are there any pictures of the lock in question?

It wasn't a sash window Lucy, but I can't find a photo of it.

The side casement window. However, there was a bottom horizontal catch which couldn't be put back on the peg from the outside.

I thought it was the top hung window that could be locked rather than the larger side hung casement.

How would anyone be able to climb through that one?

Not climb through, but reach through to close the side hung casement.

That's what I recall anyway, I'll have a look.

Not sure how anyone is disputing Bamber could climb through the kitchen window.

He said himself he could do this.

It's the locking of the window from the outside which is being discussed, I think.

Did he also say he could secure both the latches and leave no mess behind?

I thought the point was that it could be shut by banging the window - allegedly.

There are 20 sources he could. Intially Jan asked for 10.

[Kaldin]

We could do with PC Barlow's statement really.

Yes, the small top hung part could.

I'm trying to recall where it's described.

That is correct. The handle falls into place. So it is shut.

[Kaldin]

I'm trying to recall where it's described.

I thought it was the side window, but I'm not certain.

[Kaldin]

The side-opening window or the top window?

How did they manage that 

With one of these? 

Do I have to spell everything out for you David? https://youtu.be/_dgynC710IM


Jeremy and Brett departed for the south of France after the story broke, travelling to Dover in the silver Astra. They enjoyed a week of sun, sea and relaxation during a caravan holiday in St. Tropez. In a 1986 interview with the Star, Brett declared that Jeremy "fell in love with a millionaires. She fell for him. There weren't many girls he couldn't pull. He was an absolute charmer. He had a great time making love to her, sunbathing and drinking. I warned him he was suspect number one on the police list for the killings, but he wasn't bothered. He just wanted to enjoy himself while he could. But I knew a storm was brewing for him at home."
