But all that is a far cry from him having an affair with anyone prior to Jenny''s death not that it would be called an affair if it took place after her death. I am sorry but that does not go anywhere near being able to state with all truthfulness that "her husband fully intended beginning a life with another woman and admitted having an affair"
My bold - where did I state this?
You asked for references of the topic which I provided - the references come from the documents.
I will go back and review my posts, as I may have misunderstood you, but the affair is 'alleged' and cant be deemed anything else legally at this stage.
Also, the crux of this WScase is looking at what is considered Circumstantial evidence now, amongst other things.
So my further musings...
Re: The alleged affair; The statement was made by a witness and made in accordance with the law.
And if the investigation had proceeded and questions had been asked by the Police at the time prior to the Official COD being stated as suicide, this matter of an alleged affair would have been dealt with seriously. It was not, and it is something which the Coroner has highlighted in the Report. The recommended Police Investigation that should have followed and be underway should be looking more closely at evidence related to this matter.
The inconsistencies told to Police on record by PJC also add suspicion to the alleged affair.
For example: From the Report...
Cook claimed that his relationship with the unidentified work colleague prior to Jenny Lee's death had been strictly professional, with the romance only starting a couple of months afterwards. It began with kiss in a pool at a barbecue after a few drinks and evolved into a relationship with sexual events but not intercourse, he said.
Asked how many times he would have phoned or texted this woman before Jenny's death, he said he would be surprised if it was more than five times.
But when confronted with records that showed 52 calls or texts he said: "Obviously I was talking to her a lot more than I'm remembering, but we didn't have any relationship before that other than friends".
What the inconsistency does is cause Police to question why he would not tell the truth, change his story, and his testament be different to another witness'.
It also adds to a possible motive - which, at the time, was not considered by the Police when questioning him, and when examining the crime scene.
Remember - This case prior to it being suicide was considered a homicide. The suicide COD and investigation was ruled early, 12 hours after homicide was declared, and the house lifted as a crime scene.
The question is - why did Cook lie about his communications and contact with the Unidentified woman?
Jenny had her suspicions about PJC having an affair with the woman at work.
She confronted him with the question - which he denied.
Remembering also that the woman is not named due to the allegations of an extra marital affair (related to this case) and she has been given anonymity due to that allegation. To have an order put is place to suppress a name holds some significance in a case.
The Lawyer representing this case for the Pullens is also now asking for the anonymity to be lifted.
It would be beneficial to see the phone records of NIFP.
Quote:
The NIFP told police that she had very little contact with Mr Cook prior to Ms Cook’s death.
This contradicts the communication which was sent to her by PJC prior to Jennys death by sms, and phoning her, not to mention the additional emails - though it does not verify she had contact with him in the form of response, but then again, there maybe reasons for this also which may conclude that she was having an alleged affair.
To look at the documents wont deny or confirm this - this is one of the reasons for further investigation.
and I am hoping that further investigations can sort this - and the other inconsistencies - out.
