Scotland Yard's Blue-Print for Murder


Scandals In Justice has recently come into possession of documents that define the previously undisclosed calculation used by Scotland Yard to establish criminal jurisdiction. Effectively, it is Scotland Yard's blue-print for the Perfect Murder!

	Dear Sir Peter Imbert,
	
	[Name and address of Constituent]

	I am writing on behalf of my above constituent regarding an 
	accusation of attempted murder he has made against his wife which he 
	informs me the police have refused to investigate. I am enclosing 
	copies of relevant correspondence for your information and ease of 
	reference.	

	As I am sure you will be aware, my constituent's complaint stems from 
	an incident that occurred in 1987 for which [my constituent] was 
	tried and convicted. He is currently involved in attempting to obtain 
	a referral back to the Court of Appeal regarding his conviction, but 
	it is not this matter that I am drawing to your attention to here. 
	[My constituent] has approached me regarding new medical evidence, 
	discovered by him since his release from prison, which he believes 
	affected his actions and behaviour in 1987. [My constituent] tells me 
	this evidence suggests the material alteration of prescribed drugs 
	(among them Halcion and Xanax - both considered dangerous in 
	themselves) by his wife, which resulted in a potentially lethal and 
	psychologically disturbing combination of drugs being administered to 
	him. This evidence is apparently supported by his doctor in Cyprus 
	who made out the prescriptions. [My constituent] believes his wife 
	attempted to murder him, and has contacted the police to register his 
	complaint and to ask that his wife, who lives in Cyprus, be 
	questioned the next time she visits the UK. Apparently the police 
	have refused to investigate the matter, and [my constituent] has been 
	threatened with "possible police action" if he does not 
	desist from making these accusations. [My constituent] has made a 
	serious allegation, which on the basis of information provided to me, 
	I believe merits further investigation. As [my constituent] is under 
	threat of "possible police action" if he pursues this matter, 
	he has come to me as an independent third party, and I would be 
	grateful if you would look into his accusation or describe your 
	reasons in full for not doing so.

	Thank you for your assistance with this, and I hope to receive your
	comments in the near future.

	Yours sincerely,


	Tessa Jowell, MP.

	Dear Ms Jowell,

	Re: [Name and address of Constituent]

	With reference to my letter of 4 November 1992 and our meeting of 
	Wednesday, 25 November 1992 when you kindly supplied me with 
	documents entitled 'Cause for Concern - Addendum, 1 October 1992'.
	I have now had the opportunity to study these documents together with 
	the original 'Cause for Concern' document dated 1 April 1991. As you 
	are no doubt aware the [family] resided in Cyprus from 1983 until 
	returning in April 1987 and the allegation covers a period of medical 
	treatment diagnosed between early 1985 and his arrest on 14 May 1987.
	As both parties were in the United Kingdom for less than 3% of this 
	period and all significant factors would have occurred in Cyprus the 
	matter would not fall within our jurisdiction but that of the Cypriot 
	authorities. [emphasis added]

	In addition, I have to inform you that I do not consider there is 
	sufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation of [your 
	constituent] and accordingly there will be no police investigation.
	I should also point out that he has previously made various allegations
	within the Metropolitan Police District, Kent and Norfolk which 
	contained no substance.

	If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to 
	contact me.

	Yours sincerely


	Michael Lawrence

Blue-Print for the Perfect Murder

The evidence produced to the police amounted to several hundred pages, including statements and affidavits from several doctors, forensic scientists, eye-witnesses, a leading pharmacologist, a pharmacist, and various statements taken by the Metropolitan Police themselves. The allegation centred on the fact that the near-fatal dose was administered continuously from early April to 14 May 1987, within British jurisdiction. Although the bogus prescriptions were cashed while the couple, both British Citizens, were working in Cyprus. The wife was employed by the British High Commission at Nicosia while the husband managed an off-shore investment company.

The key to committing the perfect murder lies in the previously undisclosed 3% calculation used by Scotland Yard to establish jurisdiction. Working on the facts of the above case, it is possible to deduce the necessary criteria as follows:

The perpetrator and the victim must leave the UK for a certain period. The perpetrator then carries out a documented 'act' that signals the beginning of his or her plan to kill the victim, i.e. the purchase of poison, a gun, a knife, etc. The perpetrator and victim then return to British jurisdiction whereupon the deed is executed within a period of time less than 3% of the total period the plan can be shown to have been in existence.

For example: If the plan began at the start of a two week holiday (336 hours), and the victim is killed within 10 hours (3%) of returning to England, then, by Scotland Yard's definition; "as both parties were in the United Kingdom for less than 3% of this period and all significant factors would have occurred [overseas] the matter would not fall within our jurisdiction but that of the [overseas] authorities".

Scotland Yard made no attempt to bring the allegation to the attention of the overseas authorities, indeed, they threatened the complainant - in this case the victim himself - with arrest, therefore, there appears to be very little danger of the perpetrator being extradited to a foreign jurisdiction by taking advantage of this loophole in English law.
