And then came Roe's final word on the matter.

As per our discussions, I have attached the correspondence relating to the latest allegation made against BRITTON by Jack (Sandra) VAN DER LUBBE.

In brief, on September 19 at about 1540 hours VAN DER LUBBE (Sandra) contacted the Bell Street Police Station on 111 to inform us that DONALD BRITTON had fired shots from a rifle towards his (her) house.

I went and obtained a written statement in my notebook from VAN DER LUBBE at his address and this is reported on a job sheet.

(Roe did not interview the witnesses separately as is required in bona fide investigations and he in fact he only bothered to interview 2 out of the 6 witnesses to the incident. Britton and myself and he buggered off back to town without disarming Britton which allowed him to fire a couple more shots over our house.)

Later that day, at 1922 hours, I spoke with DONALD BRITTON, who acknowledged he had been up the valley shooting that day, but denied aiming any shots in the direction of VAN DER LUBBE.

There was no corroboration of VAN DER LUBBE'S allegations, other than the other members of his family agreeing with everything he said. (That was a lie and the tape I made of the interview proves it.)

On 22.09 I was contacted by Sandra VAN DER LUBBE and advised her that because of this lack of corroboration and the existing domestic problems between them, no further action would be taken on this complaint as Police had insufficient evidence to pursue a prosecution in open court. (Compare that with what Judge Willy said about the veracity of my family in 16 PRIVATE PROSECUTION.)

She was quite happy to accept this and began to give me a long list of previous wrongdoings alleged to have been committed by BRITTON. (Do you see the contradiction in that statement?)

I forward this for your information as there is if necessary grounds which may assist in revoking the firearms licence of BRITTON should this become necessary to ensure the safety of the parties involved. (What grounds? He's just finished saying that there was insufficient evidence to do anything.)
