NGB made a post recently on the Bamber forum regarding JM and the possibility of her having been arrested?
There’s no evidence to suggest she was* but in the Simon Hall case, it didn’t become clear to me that Jamie Barker had also been arrested and questioned under caution by Suffolk police and considered a possible suspect until around the time of the Zenith burglary discovery in 2012/13. It was following this that I recognised Simon Hall and all his previous legal representatives had never requested full disclosure on this fact - either pre-trial nor in the years that followed.
*Someone would have surely got wind of JM having been arrested, one of her friends around the time for example, and spilled the beans before now?
I found it interesting when NGB raised this on the Bamber board and wondered how long he’d considered this to be a possibility?
From the archives:
No substance' to Bamber case claims, says QC“Serious allegations of impropriety, dishonesty and conspiracy against police involved in the Jeremy Bamber case had "no substance whatever" to back them up, the Court of Appeal heard today.
Victor Temple QC, for the Crown, told three judges hearing Bamber's appeal against conviction for the murders of five members of his adoptive family, that once the court looked closely at the allegations "the entire edifice crumbles to nothing".
Bamber, now 41, who is serving life for the murders at White House Farm, Tolleshunt D'Arcy, Essex, in August 1985, is urging the judges to overturn his convictions as "unsafe".
He claims that the case against him was built on a series of "deceits" by police and that certain evidence was withheld in order to unfairly bolster the prosecution case.
Mr Temple, rejecting the allegations on the 11th day of the hearing before Lord Justice Kay, Mr Justice Wright and Mr Justice Henriques in London, said that Bamber's counsel, Michael Turner QC "was seeking to swim in an empty sea".
He said that Mr Turner was seeking to base "very serious allegations of impropriety, dishonesty and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice" on no more than slack paperwork, double hearsay and strained constructions on documentary evidence.
Mr Temple added: "There is no substance whatever to back these allegations up."
Bamber, who is present in the dock for the hearing, regularly passed notes to his legal team.
