I'll be recording some thoughts about this in a new blogpost.brian in the tamar valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475701925894027724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076171049417505718.post-89366380990928472552010-10-15T12:41:05.392+01:002010-10-15T12:41:05.392+01:00I must say that I've always thought that this ...I must say that I've always thought that this particular anomaly in the evidence given to Lord Hutton had the potential to cover up possibly significant details that were not otherwise reported.<br /><br />If we do accept what DC Coe has now added to the public record about the trainee policeman then it is possible that he simply misspoke whilst giving evidence. Possibly he had simply forgotten about the presence of the third party, or omitted the fact because he could no longer recall the proper identity of that person and would have looked unprofessional had he been unable to name him to the Inquiry. Perhaps even he just thought that the presence of the third party was far too insignificant to have even been mentioned.<br /><br />On the other hand, and lending some weight to the various conspiracy theories now surrounding the case, perhaps slightly more took place than was actually acknowledged.<br /><br />From Mr Chapman's evidence we know that he led DC Coe back to the immediate scene whilst the two other officers remained at the edge of the woods. DC Coe stated that he was alone with the body for some 25-30 minutes, until other officers (closely followed by the paramedic team) arrived. <br /><br />This period of time now seems to lack just a few details. When Mr Chapman departed did DC Shields and the third person remain at the edge of the woods throughout? If so what were they doing at this time? Did they remain in contact with DC Coe, either by radio or by simply shouting to each other? Did at any point DC Coe return to them, even briefly, to inform them about what he had seen? Given the situation of having the company of a trainee, would it not in fact have been natural to have let him view the actual scene as part of his work experience? <br /><br />From reading elsewhere, it seems that this half an hour or so has become the main window of opportunity for the body to have been moved. I don't particularly want to speculate about this at this time, although I have previously wondered whether the third party was actually a more senior (MoD police?) officer. In no way do I want to accuse DC Coe of deliberately lying but in a corner of my mind there exists a thought about closing existing gaps whilst at the same time preventing the opening up of new ones.Andrew Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086821277372396981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076171049417505718.post-65724602215232965572010-10-15T06:59:03.378+01:002010-10-15T06:59:03.378+01:00The "trainee policeman" must be taken a...The "trainee policeman" must be taken at face value, so was he accompanying the other two, Coe and Shields, in their early morning house-to-house searches in Southmoor before that pair, or trio, changed tack?<br />I also find it slightly baffling that DC Shields was not called to the Hutton Enquiry when he could have corroborated DC Coe's account of the 18th July 2003. He may have had further inforation to add.<br />I can't imagine Mr Knox failing to spot that glaring duo/trio anomaly - once again I am baffled.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.com
