Sorry for delay; I’ve been away. There was no operation or training manual back then. It was a matter of judgement and common sense, plus taking advice from Sergeant. In my situation help was always 1.5 hours away, so we very rarely asked for any, we just improvised.
As to why Jeremy didn’t mention the figure in the window, I don’t know. Maybe he did and it wasn’t noted. There is quite a lot that he remains confused about or can’t remember. Perhaps the shock of discovering that his family were dead has caused him to blank out some things. Even mundane details with no bearing on the case, he doesn’t remember.
I thought Roch said you told him that he passed Rivlin a note to ask Bews at trial, he’s probably got it wrong. Why didn’t he say something when Adams questioned both Jeremy and Bews and Bews said, No sign of Life at 5.00am with Jeremy present. Why didn’t he tell anyone in the family he had seen someone at the window, why didn’t he tell Julie, why didn’t he say in his statements or when he was on the stand?
