19 August (Part 1) - Rhys Lawrie. The trial and beyond
Rhys’s
grandfather Trevor was banned from taking notes at Cameron Rose’s trial. He says
it was on the express order of the judge. Other people were allowed to take
notes, but Trevor says that by then he was a known troublemaker, arguing his
case to everyone who would listen. As such there is little that can be said
about the trial. However afterwards Trevor continued to ask questions. He
directed 19 to the police’s Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) and every single
one of them was answered with the same words seen above. The same words they used following
the first complaint about Bexley police’s failure to investigate Bexley council’s obscene blog.
One of Trevor’s complaints was that the police failed to secure the crime scene.
This was met with the response “The house was returned to Ms. Henry’s control as
there were insufficient grounds to suspect that a criminal offence had taken
place. Rhys’s medical condition sometimes makes infants more prone to Sudden
Unexplained Death in Infancy SUDI”.
Another
complaint was that the police did not properly assess the injuries they
saw on 21st January 2011. The Directorate of Professional Standards responded
with, “Given the information at the time the officers acted in good faith and
considered the injuries thoroughly. They did not believe there was sufficient
evidence to consider the injuries non-accidental.
Rhys’s injuries were allegedly sustained while rolling off a sofa, whether on to
a carpeted floor or on to something harder is unknown. To judge whether the
police acted reasonably in deciding that the injuries were accidental and the
result of falling as a result of an epileptic fit, more images are available.
They are of the cleaned but bruised body and are available only via a user name
(rhys) and password (lawrie). This is to prevent unintended access to the
photographs and indexing by search engines. Click the blog image to view four photographs.
Judge for yourself whether there was insufficient evidence to consider that a
crime may have been committed. Judge for yourself whether the DPS’s priority was
once again to cover up the police’s mistakes and wrongdoing.
The author of the letter from which the above extracts are taken is Detective
Superintendent Steven Chandler. Maybe that is a common name in the police but a
Detective Chief Inspector Chandler had an involvment with the cover up of the
death of newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson. Ideal material for promotion into the DPS.
