...I've been thinking about this a little more.<br /><br />There must, I think, be at least four policemen.<br /><br />Remember that DC Coe refers to the supposedly solitary individual accompanying him as DC Shields.<br /><br />DC Shields would be in plain clothes.<br /><br />It is inconceivable that both PC Franklin and PC Sawyer would confuse a detective with a uniformed officer.<br /><br />The question therefore becomes, "Who were the uniformed officers seen by PC Franklin and PC Sawyer with DC Coe?".<br /><br />Where did those unidentified officers come from? In other words, from which direction did they come?<br /><br />What was their purpose in being there?<br /><br />When did they arrive at the scene?<br /><br />If, as it now seems, they were at the scene before PC Franklin and PC Sawyer why didn't they give evidence to the Hutton Inquiry?<br /><br />Why didn't ACC Page refer to their presence at the scene?Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829322263100808179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-56973753181421464832011-06-09T05:45:04.285+01:002011-06-09T05:45:04.285+01:00Felix,

How DC Coe and the 2/3 reached Longworth from Southmoor is not known. Perhaps by helicopter.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-72332294854469168112011-06-08T20:34:41.720+01:002011-06-08T20:34:41.720+01:00The testimony of PC Sawyer supports that of PC Fra...The testimony of PC Sawyer supports that of PC Franklin regarding this detail. <br /><br />On P47 he says "We continued walking up the hill, where I saw DC Coe and two uniformed officers".

DC Coe, who had suddenly, inexplicably, made off towards the river from Longworth to make a <b>sort of search</b> hadn't by that time given evidence.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.com
