DOCUMENT 196 - Entry 5

08/12/95

“States that about 5 years before the Murders, TATE was in Chelmsford Prison for offences of robbery. Whilst there he associated with other ‘heavy’ criminals, the MAXWELL brothers from East London and a man named GRESSY. Allegedly there was a plan that these men would overpower a prison officer and attempt an escape from custody by weakening a cell wall. TATE grassed on them in order to try and get a transfer to a London prison. TATE in fact received no favours for helping the authorities. It is suggested that these men would hold grudges against TATE because of the foiled escape attempt.”

Supported by Document DI20 dated 08/12/95

This is another example of intelligence showing TATE may have made dangerous enemies in prison. Yet Essex Police focused their efforts elsewhere, ignoring potential revenge motives.

DOCUMENT 196 - Entry 4

12/12/95

“Suggests person responsible for Murders is Steven ELLIS who has been speaking about the Murders with an associate called Clifford Michael ADAMS.”

Supported by Document 93 dated 12/12/95

Much of this intelligence was flawed, malicious, or just criminal gossip. Nothing here proves anyone’s guilt. But it does show that Essex Police chose to focus on Steele at the expense of properly investigating who really killed The Essex Boys.

DOCUMENT 196 - Entry 3

08/12/95

“Suggests person responsible for Murders is Steven Michael STIRLING, who is known to use fi****ms and a suspected drug dealer. He is suspected of a shooting incident in Billericay about 2 1/2 years ago and is well connected in the criminal fraternity.”

Further Information:

In July 2011, Steven Stirling was involved in a 19-hour armed siege at a flat in Elizabeth Road, Southend-on-Sea, during which he threatened to kill and claimed to be armed. Armed officers surrounded the property and evacuated neighbours before arresting Stirling the next morning.

In January 2012, at Basildon Crown Court, Stirling, then aged 53 and described by police as a “career criminal”, was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment for making threats to kill and affray. Essex Police noted the significant disruption his actions caused and highlighted his continued threat to public safety.

These later events demonstrate Stirling’s ongoing propensity for violence, his access to fi****ms (or at least the threat of them), and his disregard for public safety — traits consistent with the intelligence logged in December 1995.

Much of this intelligence was flawed, malicious, or just criminal gossip. Nothing here proves anyone’s guilt. But it does show that Essex Police chose to focus on Steele at the expense of properly investigating who really killed The Essex Boys.

Document 196 is about what Essex Police failed to do.

Document 196 - Entry 2

Supported by Document 32 (not seen or disclosed)

“Suggests person responsible for Murders is an unknown male who had previously shot TATE and has a background in the travelling fraternity.

A male called Wally BYRNE from the Laindon area allegedly had a drugs deal with TATE and lost his money. Gives information as to associates of victims as: MOODY from the Basildon area, ‘Gonza’, Mark ROTHWELL, Micky ISHMAEL and Ian SPINDLER.”

A Word of Caution

• Much of the intelligence recorded in Document 196 was flawed, malicious, or simply gossip intended to implicate rivals.

• Nothing in Document 196 alone implicates any individual or group in the murders.

• What it does demonstrate is that the Essex Murder Squad failed to properly investigate alternative suspects, choosing instead to pursue Michael Steele almost exclusively.

Document 196 - Entry 1

Supporting Document no, D4 timed at 1625 on 071295.

“Suggests that the Murders took place because of Search Warrants executed regarding the Leah BETTS enquiry.

Suggests that Billy BLUNDELL and John ‘GAFFER’ are responsible as they lost most from the w a r r a n t s.”

The details of who submitted this information to Essex police are unknown or cannot be confirmed.

This is the direct text of Entry #1 in Document 196, the master intelligence log created by the Essex Police Murder Incident Room during the Rettendon triple murder investigation.

This early intelligence, logged just hours after the discovery of the bodies, links the murders to the high-profile Leah Betts ecstasy death investigation. It specifically names Billy Blundell and John ‘Gaffer’ Rollinson, two well-known figures from the Essex underworld, as those allegedly responsible, claiming they had suffered heavy losses as a result of police raids connected to the Betts case.

What is striking is how little attention this line of enquiry appears to have received afterwards. The TM Eye Murder Review documents highlight that this intelligence was recorded, but there is no evidence that Essex Police properly investigated or even attempted to trace the source of this information.

It remains unclear to this day why such a significant lead, implicating two major figures with a clear motive, was never fully pursued, and why the focus instead narrowed almost exclusively onto Steele and Whomes.

Document 196 reveals the suppressed evidence and missed opportunities, this entry is another stark reminder of how blinkered and flawed the original investigation really was.

07/08/2025

What Document 196 Reveals

Document 196 records 167 separate pieces of intelligence received by the Murder Incident Room during the investigation into the murders of Tate, Tucker, and Rolfe.

Each piece of intelligence was logged and numbered, noting the source document, Message, and assigned Action number. These were supposed to generate enquiries by detectives, who would investigate and then mark actions as complete only once fully resolved.

What actually happened?

• Many substantial leads were not properly investigated, or not investigated at all.

• Some critical information, including the original intelligence that wrongly focused suspicion on Michael Steele, the full William Jasper account, and anything connected to Operations Apache or Century, does not appear in Document 196 at all.

• Supporting Documents, Messages, and Actions are missing and were never disclosed to the Defence or Court.

A Word of Caution

• Much of the intelligence recorded in Document 196 was flawed, malicious, or simply gossip intended to implicate rivals.

• Nothing in Document 196 alone implicates any individual or group in the murders.

• What it does demonstrate is that the Essex Murder Squad failed to properly investigate alternative suspects, choosing instead to pursue Michael Steele almost exclusively.

Document 196 stands as evidence of what Essex Police failed to do in thoroughly investigating who killed Tate, Tucker and Rolfe.

🚨 DOCUMENT 196 – THE FILE THEY NEVER WANTED YOU TO SEE 🚨

A bombshell internal intelligence log—Document 196—has emerged from deep inside the Rettendon murder investigation. Compiled by the Operation Obtain team during the 2002 CCRC review, it contains extensive intelligence received by the Murder Squad… most of it never acted on.

Shockingly, it includes neither the William Jasper account nor the sensitive tips that first triggered the flawed focus on Michael Steele. None of it has ever been disclosed publicly.

This hidden document exposes serious investigative failures, non-disclosure, and a complete lack of interest in following up credible leads. No interviews. No enquiries. Just buried.

If the CCRC ever refers this case back to the Court of Appeal, Document 196 could change everything. It might finally help answer the question: Who really killed The Essex Boys?

Statement of William George Jasper (16.17/1/96)

One of the three in the Range Rover owed Patsy CLARK 300,000 pound from stolen cash from the Security Express Robbery. He was withhelds mate from working on the doors and doing a bit of minding.

This cash was to be laid down until Clark got out. When he got out they said the cash had gone missing. Clark did not like this, so he asked’s withheld to sort something out as Clark don’t like to be fu**ed. So withheld had a word with GALE to see what he could sort out. Gale sorted out a drug deal for 4 kilos of co***ne that comes to 132,000 pound, street value a lot more.

Me Gale[aka Bill] and withheld had a meeting at a restaurant in Woodford that they use. Gale said we can’t rob them as there will be come backs. So withheld said we might have to take them out of the game. Gale said lets just rob them.
Gale said to me do you want to earn five large for doing the driving. I said yes he told me to pick withheld up on the 5th I think of December at the Palms Hotel at about 10 to 10.30pm. This I did.

Withheld got into the car, he had Reebok trainers on Blue tracksuit and a white half neck jumper. He also had with him a Black and Gold head sports bag.
We then went to Upminster Bridge to meet Gale. Withheld got out and went round the back of the shops with Bill.
About 5 minutes later withheld came back with the holdall then he gave me directions to the gate where I showed you yesterday. He got out but before we went to the gate down the lane we stopped at a pub car park in Battles for about one and a quarter hours.

This led us up to about 11.45pm we left the pub or just past the pub in the same road as the pub.
We went to the lane, withheld got out to have a p**s I looked in the bag that was on the passenger’s front floor.
In it was a pump 12 guage and a 14 shot fully auto Browning.
He then went away for about 20 minutes then come back and got the holdall at about between 12+1245am maybe a bit later maybe one, he was gone for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, I went down the lane for about 20 yards and turned round. I did not see any houses as I did when I took the Police Officers there. I think it was the right gate that withheld come back over. Anyway when withheld got in the car at Palms he put his mobile phone on the dashboard of the Uno Turbo that I had picked up from outside the Peacock gym in Caxton Street Silvertown Way London E16. The car was an E registration grey metallic in colour. The door was open and Gale told me the keys would be above the sun visor which they was.

Also another thing when withheld got in at the Palms hotel I noticed he was wearing surgical gloves the type they use in hospitals. I said to him mind you don’t put your dabs on anything [meaning] fingerprints. His reply was don’t intend to, when he told me to go to Upminster Bridge I said where the f**k is that, he showed me the way.

The Peacock gym belongs to Patsy Clarks number one soldier [ie] withheld he has already arranged a killing of a car showroom owner by the name of Tony Whitehead who also fu**ed Clark for cash. They was to go and take some of his high performance cars but Whitehead was there so they took him as well.
One thing led to another and he had to be killed anyway enough of that.

Getting back to the late hours of the 5th and early hours of the 6th Tuesday night Wednesday morning when we was driving in the Uno Turbo.
We was talking about the good old days in Tenerife when me and withhelds mate withheld used to sell speed out there. When we was driving withheld got out a roll of cover [ie] about a gram of co***ne worth about 50 pounds if you was to buy it on the street. He gave me a snort and he had a snort then he put it back in his tracksuit top pocket. As I said when he got out down the lane to have a p**s I looked in the bag on the floor.

As I said before there was a sawn off pump action shot gun about 18 inches long. The shotgun I believe was already in the bag when he got in at Palms hotel on the A127. Because when he opened the door he threw it down on the floor with a thud and I believe when he met Bill GALE, Gale gave him the Browning 14 shot auto. I don’t know for sure but for him to meet Gale he had to be picking something up. I’ve worked with Gale and a Browning is his favourite tool [ie] gun.

We then left Gale and drove to Battles Bridge. Withheld did not say too much he seemed deep in thought. When we parked down by the pub withheld was just sitting there with his hand slotted inside each other. I said to him give us a bit more cover [co***ne] he said he needed it, and that was that. I was sat there down the lane with withheld next to me then withheld got out the rap of co***ne snorted the lot from the rap and put it back in his.

As I said before withheld went away for about twenty minutes he come back snorted the co***ne picked up the black and gold bag and left me sitting there. I did not think much about the gun’s as it is normal practice to take guns on drug meets just in case one tries to have the other over. So I did not think twice about it.

I think he left me at about 12/1230/1245 he come back about 30 minutes later maybe a bit longer I not to sure. With him he had the black and gold holdall and a ruck sack about 12” by 18” the type you put over your arms with the bag at the back.
He opened the door with his left hand, because he had both bags in his right hand. He got in put both bags between his legs and said let’s go. I left the lane and turned left got to a big roundabout went round and come back on another road just before the next big roundabout. I done a left up a one way I was going up it the wrong way only for about 50 yards. Then I saw the main road to my right. I did not take the main road I carried I went under a bridge I now know to be a railway bridge. I then went back past the pub where we was maybe 45 minutes earlier.

As I was travelling away from the pub which was now on my right we come to a little bridge. I went flying over it and withheld shouted you should of give way there. I said shut up bruv there wasn’t f**k all coming. I was driving and did not see the give way sign that was on the road.

Thinking back he must have been there before to know that there was a give way sign because I didn’t see it as it was a dark night. I went round to my left and past a Proton Motor Company. Withheld told me to slow down a bit as I was going about 50 to 60 mph. He then got on his mobile and his words was Bill its sorted I’ve got the cover see you at Mortons. That’s a winebar near South Woodford then he hung up and put the phone in the ruck-sac not the headbag.

We went to Woodford South I stop outside the wine bar at about 2 o’clock. Think he got out and took the ruck-sac Gale see us pull up come out took the ruck-sac from withheld and got in a Green sort of colour Rover new shape. I believe the Rover to belong to withheld brother Martin. Gale drove up the side of me on my passenger side I undone the electric window and he told me to take the car back to where I got it from and to leave the key where I got them from above the visor. He told me to meet withheld at Mortons wine bar at 10 o’clock the next night. I took the car back to the Peacock gym left it just inside the forecourt next to a brick wall then went home.

I went out the next day and did not hear about the killings until early evening. I was on my toes all evening [ie] looking over my back, I went to meet withheld at the wine bar. I got there about 9.45pm he was here already. He got me a large Jack Daniels and coke and told me to let him go to the toilet give it half a minute then follow him in the toilet cubicle.
We had a snort of co***ne then he pulled out a chunk of money and gave it to me, as he gave it to me I said to him [you c**t you took them out of the game] last night. He then looked at me with a smurky grin and said ‘what are you a cozzer’ [ie] policeman. Asking questions that meant don’t ask questions so I left it at that.
When I took the car back the head bag was still in the car, the shot gun was still in it but the handgun was gone. Withheld must have put it in the ruck-sac with the co***ne and phone.

In the last two weeks I’ve been getting feedback from people saying Gale is going round saying I’m a grass. If certain people believe him, I will end up dead and a witness out of the way. So, I got in touch with Police and am making this statement of my own free will and will attend court and back this up. No police officer has put any of these words into my head.
I’ve wrote this statement of my own free will and will back it up in court.

W Jasper Tuesday January 16th 1996

I must add to this statement that I did not know there was going to be 3 killings. I was there just to help a pal pick up some co***ne namely 4 kilo’s of white powder and drive him back. I’m not silly and I know withheld done the killings because we was the only one’s there that night and I stayed in the car.
I believe the car was put in a crusher, but I don’t know what happened to the black and gold bag with the shot gun in.

So when withheld got out of the car to give Gale the ruck-sac he was still wearing the surgical gloves. But as he was walking towards the wine bar he took them off and put them in his track suit bottoms pocket. Then a split second later Gale pulled up the side of the Uno Turbo that I was in and told me what to do with the car. I believe they will try to get rid of me[ie] kill me because I know too much. So, I feel that in my best interest is to help the police.

When news gets out that I’m in Essex Police custody the s**t will hit the fan. Because we are talking about people that will shoot someone and think nothing of it. So I feel this is the best thing to do, [ie] give evidence against them not to save myself from prison but to save my own life.

Must add to this statement that no police officer has put any words into my head.
They have not told me to say anything in this 12 page statement and have treated me fair.

I William George JASPER have made this statement of my own free will- Wednesday 17th January 1996
