Was it not Julie's female flatmate who initially contacted the police?
No idea how Bamber’s CT came to these conclusions
“
Saturday 7 September 1985 DS Stan Jones was contacted from Malcolm Waters’ home by telephone as recorded in Jones’ pocket notebook and arrangements were made to collect the two girls from Colchester to take them to the police station for questioning.[8] Clearly Julie Mugford did not ‘come forward offering information’ as she was pushed by Liz and Malcolm, and it is highly likely that the phone call to police was made by Malcolm from his home, probably against Julie’s wishes. The hit man story that Julie had made up to poison Liz against Jeremy had spiralled out of control and became the cornerstone of the prosecution case against Jeremy Bamber.Malcolm Waters: “
As I didn’t know Julie I started to question her about whether she was saying those things because of her split with Jeremy and I tried to ascertain from her if Jeremy had told her anything which only the murderer would know or if there was anything she had not read in the papers.Wasn’t Malcolm Waters the owner of Sloppy Joes where Liz Rimmimgton was the manageress; where Bamber had also worked ?
Was he also the owner of the Frog and Bean wine bar ?
MD and MW sold the wine bar and bought Sloppy Joes
