Was Bourtree Cottage bugged and/or Morshead Mansions and/or Catherham Road

[Holly Goodhead]

We know for sure JB was under surveillance for a period of time.  Were the properties/phones bugged too?

For the lurkers:

Bourtree Cottage = JB's pad

Morshead Mansions = the late Sheila Caffell's pad (JB spent time there post tragedy and was arrested there on one occasion).

Caterham Road = JM's pad during her involvement with JB.  She moved into new digs late Aug.

The reason I ask is that in JM's WS of 8th Sept she claims on 7th Aug, whilst at Bourtree Cottage, she asked JB if he had carried out the murders.  She claims he replied "Matthew (MM) did it".  JB then proceeded to tell her how he had planned the murders with MM.  According to JM JB then said "We should not talk about it in the house in case the house was being bugged":

Hmmm so a bit late after the horse had potentially bolted!  If JB thought the house was being bugged why fess up?

Where did this idea about bugging come from?  Did JB speak the words?  Did JM have an over active imagination?  Did EP feed this to JM to cover the fact that the norm would be to obtain a confession via bugging and as EP had been unsuccessful it provided an explanation why?

JM also claims in her WS:

"I next saw Jeremy on Friday 6th September 1985 when he came to my flat and helped with Brett to move my furniture to my present address.  We left on a reasonably happy note. I haven't seen him since".

If they parted on ok terms why didn't EP arrange for JM to call or meet with JB under some pretence wire her up and get a confession?

Liz Rimmington blew the whistle early Sept but was JM already 'cooperating' with EP as they were ahead of the game and aware the relationship had broken down from bugs/listening devices and moved in swiftly? 

Maybe it's all held under PII?  (shocked emoticon required)

If you would liken to bone up on some PII law, then a good place to start is with this 2004 House of Lords decision in the case of R -v- H:
