From the coroner's report:
(p26)He then went back inside and turned the exterior lights on.
He recalled calling the ambulance and telling them that his wife had killed herself.
(p13, PC's phone call to Jenny's dad) He said she was sunburnt and there was a lot of blood. He then said, ‘I can hear the police arriving – I’ll have to go now.’
(p.9) Jenny was cold and stiff – he moved her lips but didn’t move her body at all;
He called 000 and they told him to do CPR;
When he first got home he thought either she’s left me or she’s killed herself;
First he thought she might have jumped from the balcony and then that she’d overdosed but someone said there was a knife there;
So. When he "first got home" he finds the dog beloved by Jenny has been locked up all day in full summer heat with no water. No wife, back door unlocked. Immediately thinks "suicide".
Later, after unpacking the dishwasher (as one does, when one believes one's wife has committed suicide), thereby noticing a large knife missing from the knife block, and then taking what must have been a heat-exhausted, dehydrated and distressed dog for a 30 minute walk (without once, for some reason, and despite several trips outside himself, allowing the poor animal access to the rear yard)...
He turns the lights on. Floodlights, even - we all know how bright those are. He kneels over her body, apparently sees "a lot of blood", his wife lying dead with a sheet tied around her head, *somehow* neglects to notice the knife, OR the fatal chest wound and thinks - "she's overdosed, or jumped"?
Okay, uh-huh.
Ten months now, since the inquest's recommendation of a new police investigation.
TWO officials called out to the scene that night, one the medical examiner, the other ranking Inspector, have been involved in murder-staged-as-suicide deaths where prison guards have proved guilty of the murder.
The Detective in charge of the case, despite admitting a *laundry list* of grievous"errors" and "oversights" in this case (and refusing to admit others, despite witness statement to the contrary), PLUS being observed to be outright dishonest in court (perjury plz?)-- received a promotion.
Okay. Uh-huh.
I hope the new investigation, when it FINALLY gets done, is done by people very far removed from that particular group. Honest cops. I hear they actually do exist, these days, up north..
