Thanks Sika. I've read DJ's WS which I uploaded further up thread. Imo her WS is very suspicious. It seems she had a good relationship with Rolfe. The pair had been together for some years and had a daughter. Early press reports have her pleading for info on 9th Dec '95:
Donna Jaggers, aged 27, Rolfe's common law wife, broke down as she pleaded for information at a press conference yesterday. The couple have a six-year-old daughter. Rolfe was last seen at 6pm on Wednesday.https://www.theguardian.com/fromthearchive/story/0,,1715361,00.htmlOn 14th Mar '96 she makes a WS stating the trio were off to meet Steele et al. If this was the case why did it take EP so long to investigate those who were the last to associate with the murdered trio? As I said in a post up thread the timings don't work.
What real evidence exists for a meeting between the murdered trio and a plane landing etc?
Is there anything to suggest the following didn't happen:
The perps (probably military or police trained) break-in to Tuckers home in Fobbing. They take him at gunpoint and force him to call Rolfe and Tate for a meeting. Rolfe turns up and is then forced to drive at gunpoint to Tate's. Tate gets into the car thinking its all safe. The perps then tell Rolfe to drive to a location or straight to Rettendon. The perps obtain whatever they want from the trio ie info re any stash of drugs/cash/firearms and/or execute. Rettendon was chosen due to its proximity to Peter Theobald's shooting range and the sound of gunshot would not be unusual.
What about the hard evidence: pathological, forensics and ballistics? What happened to the spent cartridges? What was the distance of shots? Trajectories? It should have been possible to pinpoint the position of perp in relation to the murdered trio?
With regard to Sarah Saunders WS again a vulnerable woman who was no doubt upset her associates were no more and her friend Steele was in the frame. As she said:
- Tate talked nonsense a lot of the time
- The the trio had numerous enemies
- She didn't think any animosity existed between Steele and Tate.
- She said whenever she called Pat and he was in the presence of those she knew he would say eg I'm with Mick (Steele) but on the occasion she last spoke with him he said 'I'm with some people'. This obviously wasn't what EP wanted to hear. And EP were selling it hard about Steele/Whomes involvement despite the lack of any forensic evidence. Nicholls was not there.
- Notice how EP have Steele referring to her as a 'silly cow'!
I'm not sure if EP are just as thick as they come, lazy or poorly trained or a combi of all three but from what little I know about this case and a better knowledge of JB's case it appears to me EP come up with a hunch and then use bullying tactics often on vulnerable women eg in this case Jaggers/Saunders and JB's case the likes of Christine Bacon and JM to get them to support the hunch. And/or EP enter into deals with the likes of JM/Nicholls whereby they relieve them of potential criminal charges and introduce them to the media for financial inducements.
The whole thing stinks imo.
