Suspect the police gave her paperwork of some description and she’d have had to sign for the items
They most certainly wouldn’t have just dropped off these items without paperwork to back it up. It doesn’t work like that.
The police wouldn’t drive and deliver a convicted prisoner’s seized property to anyone. It would have been sent to the prison he was sent to in 1986, and when he was transferred to other prisons all his sealed belongings would have been taken too and held in the property office. The prisoner gets it back when they leave. If they die in prison it will be sent to the nearest police station of their next of kin, or the person the prisoner has stated they wish to have it and they have 28 days to come and collect it or it’s auctioned off.
They don’t do delivery services.
It has to be collected with the NOK’s ID and all sealed bags have to be signed for at the front desk in the police station, where it’s held at. They collect it from the property store once you’ve shown your ID (Passport/Driving Licence) including the letter/email from police saying it can be collected by yourself xxx xxxx and giving them the document and reference number. They’re very tight on making sure it’s all done to the book.
So how Agatha got these items is strange...
