Right, so let's put things into perspective, Ann Eaton who is at the heart of the SM debacle, is invited to dinner at Police Headquarters to share lunch with the Chief Constable, Mr Bunyard, the Deputy Chief Constable, Peter Simpson and Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Dickinson, less than a month after Jeremy Bamber was convicted because Ann Eaton kept quiet about the SM and other exhibits that she handed over to DC Oakey on the 11th September 1985!

Please, search your conscience, is this something that happens to every victim who s also such a key prosecution witness?

There is something serious wrong here!

No doubt, Ann Eaton did not attend this dinner celebration, paid for at public expense, she no doubt arrived there accompanied by the other motley crew of key prosecution witnesses, her father Robert Woodwis Boutflour, her husband Peter Eaton, and her brother, David Robert Boutflour!

How could Essex police justify wasting public funded cash, being spent on these prosecution witnesses?

Why would the powers that be, go to such lengths?

I wonder what lavish treats were on the menu, and how much it cost the public purse?

This reminds me of information that I received back in 2003/2004 to the effect that the relatives bought presents for all the key police officers involved in the successful prosecution of Jeremy Bamber!

Gifts, by Jove...

Now, how revealing and suspicious was / is that?

What date, was DCI 'Taff' Jones death occur?

We can see, that his death, in whatever circumstances this might have occured, did not die until 12th May, 1986...

Funny how DCI Jones was never invited to the same dinner celebration...

How come, the victims of all major crimes are never invited to Police Headquarters to have lunch with such illustrious Senior police officers of the force responsible for investigating a tragedy such as this one?

Ann Eaton, the witness who handed over the SM (DRB/1, 22, court album no.9) to DC Oakey on the 11th September, 1985, her husband, Peter Eaton who supposedly  handed the same SM over to Stan Jones on the 12th August 1985, a month previously, her father (Robert Woodwis Boutflour) who had the exact same blood groups as Sheila Caffell', her brother David Robert Boutflour who did not contact Essex police by telephone until the 12th September 1985, the day after he sister Ann had handed over 'that' SM to DC Oakey, all enjoying a feast at the expense of the public, no doubt the seal by which such case secrets were supposed to be kept a closely guarded secret!

No Bob Miller, no Ron Cook, no PC Whiddon, no DCI  George Harris, no CI Terry Gibbons, no DCI Jones, no DCI Wright, no DCS Mick Ainsley, none of the firearms team, and lastly (for now) no Stan Jones - the cop who obtained a spare pocketbook and who rewrote his pocketbook entries to try and hide the truth in this matter!!!

I was a bit sceptical when I first heard of this. It is rather disgusting.

But anyway the police think they got conned and with the help of thier guests justice prevailed. When in reality its their guests that have conned them.

If it was not for the grim consequences and the insult this has on those who have died. It would actually be funny. The joke is on EP at the end of the day.

The thread title is misleading in the extreme. I feel it should be made clear that it was NOT a "dinner party" -with it's formal connotations- to which the relatives were invited. Formal dinner -3 courses +- would be around  7.30 for 8.00. Less formal would supper -2 course- at around 6/6.30. The relatives were invited to neither of these. They were invited to -what sounds like, given that the word "informal" is included in the invitation- a casual LUNCH.
