I'm cross referencing various things at the moment... but came across this.. (Please accept my apology for the long post ).... The quotes are there to back the information...
Quote from Leveson Inquiry COLIN PORT the Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Constabulary of Portishead,
The SIO made an entry in his policy
book on 29 December which reads "Christopher Jefferies will be arrested on
suspicion of the murder of Joanna Yeates tomorrow morning (30.12.10)
during the hours of darkness at approximately 07:00 hours. DS (name) will oversee the arrest and search of his flat and seizure of his two motor cars.
The SIO he is refering too I believe is DCI Phil Jones ....
Quote from leveson Inquiry Phil Jones
Upon promotion to Detective Chief
Inspector in October 2008, I was posted to the Constabulary’s Major Crime
Investigation Team as a Senior Investigating Officer ("SIO"). This team takes
the investigative lead for all homicides within the Avon and Somerset force area
He goes on to state :
As an SIO i have led numerous Homicide investigations within a diverse range
of circumstances and communities, These investigations have varied in
complexity and have ranged from Category A+ murders such as the Joanna
Yeates investigation where the offender is unknown and there is a high level of
media interest and public concern, to Category C murders where the identity of
the offender is apparent at the outset of the investigation and/or evidence can
be secured easily. (1)
So I think I'm correct in saying That Colin Port is referring to DCI Phil Jones ....
I'm not sure when Christopher Jefferies made his 2nd witness statement... but they have acted incredibly fast...
Did CJ make his statement after they had released the post mortem results... I would imagine that was more than likely... But I cannot be sure..
What other evidence had they collated to arrest CJ in the first place???
Again Colin Port
The facts that on 31 December police successfully applied to
magistrates for a 72 hour extension to question Mr Jefferies further
and that he was released on police bail the following day, 1st January
2011, would I believe both have come from the police.
If they had successfully applied for a 72 hour extension... then why did they release him the next day ????
This is Colin Port confirming the above information is correct
This is correct. A statement was released to the media on 31
December confirming that the police had been granted more time to
question a 65 year old man.
Within the leveson inquiry Colin Port like to confirm whether a statement is true or not....
So back to releasing CJ..... They cannot have had a match on the DNA sample that Dr Vincent Tabak provided on the 31st December 2010 .. if we are to believe that the sample on Joanna Yeates took weeks to enhance...
So what possible reason would they feel.. after applying for a 72 hour extension that they should release CJ so promptly the next day ???
It's not because they felt he was Innocent... they kept him on Police bail until March 2011...
Well again ...Lyndsey Lennen says 48 hrs to turn around all the DNA... suspects, Joanna Yeates etc... And I am believing this more and more.... even more than before if thats possible...
It makes the Interview in Holland seems all the more suspicious than before after understanding they had applied for the 72 hour extension on CJ... Then sent him on his merry way the day after...(IMO)....
So... he was arrested on the 30th December 2010... they held him for 24 hr... the applied for a further 72 hour extension.. bring the detention time to the maximum 96 hours...
The police can hold you for up to 24 hours before they have to charge you with a crime or release you.
They can apply to hold you for up to 36 or 96 hours if you’re suspected of a serious crime, eg murder.
But if you think 72 hours... you would probably count it from him being arrested on the 30th January 2011...
When in fact the 72 hours start from the 31st January 2011...
So when it's reported in the papers .. they get the information around midnight...(IMO).. because the minutes they go to press.. the release date in the paper becomes the 2nd January 2011.... when in actual fact CJ was released on the 1st January 2011.. That info has come from the mouth/hand of Colin Port!!
And here we have been hoodwinked again.....

Here's one report bang on Midnight!!
Joanna murder: landlord released on police bail
Christopher Jefferies released as victim's family expresses confidence that police will find her killer
By Andrew McCorkell Sunday 2 January 2011 00:00 GMT
The article goes on to say.....
The retired schoolteacher arrested in connection with the murder of Joanna Yeates was let go last night after being questioned by police for three days. Christopher Jefferies, 65, was released on police bail, pending further inquiries, more than 60 hours after his arrest on Thursday morning at his flat in the Clifton area of Bristol.
What is more than 60 hours after his arrest ??
Everyone is used to a 72 hour detention.. but maybe not everyone would realise they had the power to hold him for 96 hours... And when everyone reads the papers in the morning they believe that CJ was released on the 2nd January 2010
I wonder why they would want people to think that ?? I always got confused on the date he was released because I looked at the date of the papers articles...
