Yet to be fully understood by the general public, was why 'Special Branch took an interest' in disposing of key exhibits in the Bamber murder case, and authorising a new list of exhibits be created minus the items that had been ordered to be destroyed by DI Soanes, against a court order..
But I can now reveal that the reason for Special Branch interference in the Bamber case investigation was because of a possible link to terrorist activity in the Chelmsford district around August 1985. In particular, that whoever was the target at that stage was known to have IRA and PLO connections...
This was where 'the Hitman' scenario was borne out ( a month after the tragedy occurred) of!
There was believed to be 'a cell of terrorists operating in the Chelmsford area', at the time of the whf tragedy, and A reporter (Kim Sengupta) who was a war Correspondent in the middle east, wrote an article concerning who the scruffy looking hunched up man was, who had been seen walking away from the farmhouse about an hour after the police first arrived. Sengupta made a witness statement to Essex police, in connection with the tragedy at the farmhouse, but its contents have never yet been disclosed - this is because the information to which Sengupta was referring to, of the scruffy looking man seen walking away from whf about an hour after police first arrived on the scene, was not a reference to the arrival of the occupants of CA07 at the farmhouse, but to the arrival at the farmhouse of anti - terrorist officers who were engaged in following target terrorists, or as the case might be, a target terrorist, who was followed to the farmhouse about an hour prior to the arrival of Bews and Myall in pages lane. It was this earlier occasion to which Sengupta was referring to, when he spoke about the scruffy looking hunched man seen walking away from the scene about an hour after the arrival of Special Branch and anti-terrorist officers. By a remakable coincidence, in another Official document which became known as 'THE MAJOR PROJECT REGISTER', the very first entry contained therein, is timed at 0345 hrs, and relates to ,the sighting of an unknown male' at whf as seen by PC Myall. This role was subsequently filled with the arrest of Mathew MacDonald in September, 1985...
The scruffy looking hunched man referred to be Sengupta in his report, was the very same unidentifiedd male seen by PC Myall at around 3.45pm at the farmhouse...
