-------------Forwarded Message----------------- From: Norman Bassett, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: , cybershooters From: Norman Bassett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I was looking through the Electronic Telegraph archive on http://www.telegraph.co.uk and found this: "Monday 18 March 1996: Quantities of computer software and photographs of half-dressed boys have been removed from Hamilton's groundfloor flat in Stirling, eight miles from the primary school where he carried out last Wednesday's killings. The possibility that Hamilton had an Internet link is also being investigated. Evidence recovered from Hamilton's flat led police to those questioned last week. Two of those interviewed about the suspected paedophile ring are known to have been in regular contact with Hamilton - with some calls lasting as long as 25 minutes - in the run-up to the primary school tragedy. The last call came a few hours before the massacre. Police are also believed to be investigating possible links to the homosexual community in Edinburgh, 40 miles from Dunblane. Hamilton was cautioned by Lothian police 18 months ago after being found in a compromising position with a man in the Scottish capital." Police investigations into Hamilton's background don't seem to have made much progress since then. And another bit of information (same source, today's date) on what the police are receiving salary for: "On his arrest in February 1999, Mulcahy who had denied his guilt in 1986, vomited in front of police but refused to speak. In court he denied the attacks. One unnamed victim spoke later of her anguish. She criticised the initial response of officers, but said procedures had greatly improved. "It took four attempts to report to police my attack by two men on Hampstead Heath in the early 1980s. No one took any notice of me until the fourth attempt when police finally took a witness statement." Now, however, attitudes were much better. "During the past two years police have given me support throughout with regular updates via phone calls and visits to my home. Women who have been subjected to such attacks should be made aware that the police and court process today is supportive, caring and understanding." If you ever wondered how people like Hamilton and Mulcahy got away with serious crimes for twenty-year careers, you should be getting the general idea by now...
