That is to say the Press Release, and in particular, the statistics contained in it (or not) have not been scrutinized or questioned by any of our “accredited” media, they’ve just published the Press Release and that’s “journalism“ a la Jersey!
Among the statistics NOT given by Mr. Warcup and NOT asked about by our “accredited” media is how many of the cases dropped by the Attorney General involve suspects who are STILL in a position of power, or are STILL employed by the States? How many cases were put before the Attorney General, and as a percentage, how many of them reached a court room and how many didn’t? From those cases that were dropped, how many didn’t meet “the evidential test” and how many were dropped because it wasn’t “in the public interest” to prosecute? And what does “not in the public interest” mean?
Not being a mathematician I don’t know what the statistics are that “curiously” weren’t among those of David Warcup’s in his Press Release. But I have put a few numbers together that a mathematician might want to put as statistics/percentages.
There were 151 suspects, of which 30 are no longer living, so that leaves 121 suspects. Out of those 121 suspects 8 of them were charged, having met “the evidential test” and it being in “the public interest” to charge them. So that means 113 suspects didn’t face prosecution, what’s that as a percentage and why didn’t David Warcup use it in his Press Release?
Naturally there are hundreds and hundreds of un-answered questions involving “Operation Rectangle” and its closure, and naturally our good old “accredited” media aren’t asking them and one has to ask “why not”? Not least is the question of child murder up at Haute de la Garenne?, or at the very least, the disposing of child remains. Child’s Tibia, Femur, skull, teeth, shin bone, fresh and fleshed bone when burnt and much, much more. What happened to all the testing that was going to be done? How did all those remains get there?
So far we’ve been told by the “accredited” media that the piece of child’s skull (JAR/6) that contained 1.6 percent collagen (only found in mammals) turned into a piece of Coconut! But they’ve shown us no “evidence” as to how that happened!
The 65 children’s teeth found up at the Home, we were told by our Home Affairs Minister on a live Radio show, (un-challenged by the host!) that they all fell out of children’s mouths in the exact same spot and slipped through a gap in the floor boards! Some with ROOT STILL ATTACHED???????
On the 24th of March 2010 Rico Sorda published This on VFP. It is a “Summary Report” of Operation Rectangle. I re-produce extracts below., but the full report should be read in its entirety.
Extracts from Operation Rectangle Summary
"Among the victims were a few who said that children had been dragged from their beds at night screaming and had then disappeared. Two others said they had knowledge of human remains at the location but were not specific. A local advocate also came to police and said he had a client who knew there were human remains buried at the home.”
“Information exists of the previous finding of buried bones co mingled with a pair of children’s shoes and fragments of cloth.”
“Anecdotal witness evidence suggested that bones found by builders completing renovations near to the north west stairwell may have been of human origin. An alert indication by the EVRD in this area resulted in the excavation of the site by forensic archaeologists. During this intrusive procedure a 2 inch X 2 inch piece of what appeared to be bone was recovered. This was preliminarily identified ‘in the field’ as possibly being juvenile human skull by the forensic anthropologist and was submitted for confirmation including species carbon dating and DNA.”
“The teeth recovered from cellars 3-4 were identified as juvenile human deciduous teeth and have been conveyed to the UK for further analysis.”
“Anecdotal witness evidence was suggestive of juvenile human bones being recovered from the area of the north-western stairwell during recent building renovations in 2003.”
“Human remains deposited within the ground in that area would contaminate the ground, and any porous material within it. The dog’s reactions were therefore consistent with this scenario.”
“A significant number of bone fragments and teeth have been recovered which have been corroborated as human. The remains are at the present time undergoing forensic testing including carbon dating procedures.”
“Control testing of the EVRD would suggest that although the dog alerted to specific areas where human remains were situated the entire top two inches of soil within this area is contaminated with human cadaver odour. Enquiries at this time are suggestive that the human remains were deposited in this area and covered with top soil in a deliberate act of concealment. The deposition could only have taken place during a period of time when the floor had been removed. Research into the historical renovation of the property suggests that the floor above cellars 3, 4 &5 was taken up in the late 60’s early 70’s.”
“Karl Harrison’s archaeological theory of the burnt debris including human bone fragments and teeth being deposited in the east wing cellars from the west wing is contained within this report. This theory is suggestive that the solid fuel furnace in operation in the west wing around the time of 1960 – 1970 may have been used to dispose of human remains.”
"Enquiries to date are showing that the original solid fuel central heating and hot water supply furnace in the west wing was replaced in the late 60’s early 70’s with oil fired furnaces. This may have coincided with the floor in cellars 3, 4 & 5 being removed. This would explain the deposition of the bone fragments and teeth with ash deposits as being the waste from the furnace upon decommissioning. It would also suggest some element of ‘guilty knowledge’.
“The series of tests involved the use of samples of soot and debris from the chimney situated in the plant room that was in use at the time the solid fuel furnace was in operation. The tests were completed in such a way as to isolate the samples from containers, human ‘live’ scent and other distracters."
"The tests clearly indicated the presence of human remains decomposition scent.” (END)
The argument that “no children were reported as missing” just does not cut the mustard. We recently had a dead body washed up at Havre Des Pas beach. Interpol, the FBI and just about every agency under the sun were contacted in order to identify the body. Nobody of that description has been reported as missing, does that mean he didn’t wash up dead on our beach? Not to mention the poor record keeping of not only Haute de la Garenne but children’s Homes in general.
Going by the “facts”, “evidence” and documentation in the public domain, not only could one be forgiven that Child Abuse and Abuser’s have been swept under the carpet, so has Child Murder. If this is the case, then how was it able to go on? What part have the “accredited” media played in it? What questions have they asked? When have they ever “seriously” challenged the Jersey authority? Look at what has happened to people like Stuart Syvret, Lenny Harper, Graham Power QPM, those who have challenged the Jersey authority.
The “accredited” media are obviously content that Operation Rectangle has been closed down, with still more questions than answers remaining……..why? There are obviously others that are happy the investigation has come to an end and that the “accredited” media will not try and challenge this in any way, but “Case Closed?”…………………. not as far as some are concerned.
