JM’s witness statement
“He replied that he had had a gay relationship with Ray but that it was a one off and would never happen again. On the same occasion we also discussed Brett. Jeremy asked me why I was not worried about him. I said I had no worries because Brett was so unattractive. Jeremy agreed with me.
There were references to ‘homosexual liaisons’ in Simon Hall’s case papers, with several references to Scott Doughty.
According to witness statements some of Halls friends/acquaintances suspected something sexual had gone on between them - many others dismissed it. Hall had a girlfriend at the time.
During Halls murder trial Scott Doughty was asked whether he and Hall had ever ‘kissed on the lips’ - Doughty denied it.
Hall had always denied anything went on between him & Doughty and made a comment about his appearance & asked me if I’d ever seen what he looked like.
Before Hall’s confession in 2013 he disclosed he and Doughty had had a sexual relationship.
Did Scott Doughty lie about his sexual relationship with Simon Hall in order to protect his reputation? Was he afraid his drug dealing activities may be uncovered? Or was it a combination of both?
How was Scott Doughty able to live with the fact he'd lied to police during ther investigation and lied during a murder trial?
How did he feel during those 12 years Simon Hall maintained innocence? Why didn't he speak out publicly? Did he tell his friends what he knew? His mum, his partner etc?

Scott Doughty’s home (He & his then partner were living in a pub called the Brickmakers Arms) was raided by police a few months before Halls murder trial. Several items were seized during the raid, including drugs.
Disclosure was never requested on the findings of this by Hall or his defence team/s.
Scott Doughty was a prosecution witness at Simon Halls trial. Based on evidence that came to light Scott Doughty clearly perjured himself by lying under oath.
Did witnesses in Bamber’s murder trial do the same?
Was Charles Marsden ever asked by police about a possible sexual relationship he may have had with Bamber?
Was Brett Collins?
Was ‘Ray’ ever tracked down and interviewed?
