RP was living in a Commune in Somerset during the time of the tragedy and on receiving a phone-call from his mother of the tragedy,began his support of JB.
It had been a medium who told RP about the drug drop from an aircraft as RP had gone to see a medium to throw some light on the murders. The medium had described the killer as " black ",short and stocky
RP was tremendously religious and believed he was also psychic.
He and JB were friendly while working on the farm,RP being older too and it was his introduction to the drug scene that set others off.
RP is AP's step-brother,their father re-marrying.
Not sure if RP still believes in JB's innocence. He'll be getting on now (b.1951 )
