I'm still checking the Coroner's schedule from time to time . Nothing for Anthony as of yet(although there is one case on there now with a D.O.D in December) .
Having a quick look at the schedules for Brighton & Hove area and , for comparison , the schedule for my local Coroner , East Sussex does not seem to be as up to date as other regions . Perhaps , administratively , they're just under-resourced .
I was having a little poke around today , and I spotted that The Lamb has been closed(or is to be closed) due to revocation of/refusal to renew its license.
Having read through the entire document and supporting papers of the official proceedings (the overriding reasons for closure being ASB and evidence of drug use on the premises/failure to rectify/attend to the drug issue having been given the opportunity to do so) - the statement from Sussex Police alludes to , and the actual report from an attending Constable outlines the lack of cooperation from The Lamb in providing their CCTV recordings which were requested in connection with the(Anthony's) missing person's enquiry , pointedly stating they "were generally being evasive" .
Leaving Facebook (apologies can't upload as file is too big and the URL was immense (Public Report Pack Lewes District Council pdf) . For anyone wishing to read , mentions regarding CCTV are from page 35(ish) onward (100 page doc) , but the attending PC's statement is on pg 42 .
It transpires that the Police Constable eventually had to seize the CCTV hard drive from the premises . This was on
3 January , which means full CCTV was
finally obtained nearer to the date of Anthony's recovery than it was to his disappearance .
I'm confused as I was under the impression that images from The Lamb had been viewed(per Anthony's bf during his interview with SKY) quite early on . I wonder whether the pub just showed them particular images and not it in its entirety ?
( I know , rationally , that their overt lack of cooperation and the consequential delay would likely
not have had any impact on the tragic ending , but I kind of feel uncomfortable that their evasiveness might have been driven by some misguided self-preservation (perhaps because of already being in trouble with the Police's drug trace stuff) and the human story took a back seat . MOO ) .
