Attorney General’s Inquest Department Condones Criminal Offences By East Sussex Coroner Alan Craze
18 Nov 24. In October 2019, Julian Nettlefold, father of Harry Nettlefold whose body was placed at the Eastbourne quayside, faking su***de, submitted an Appeal to the June 2012 Inquest proving that his son was nowhere near Beachy Head on August 27th 2011, the night he was supposed to have committed su***de.
The Attorney General’s Inquest Department relied on the Reply to Mr Nettlefold’s submission from East Sussex Coroner Alan Craze, that the VW Lupo car driven by Harry Nettlefold, arrived at 7.04, Harry Nettlefold jumped at 7.15 and his body was found at 7.30.
Julian Nettlefold provided clear forensic evidence to disprove all of the above, which has been studiously ignored by the Attorney General’s Inquest staff.
The extract below, formed part the Attorney General’s Inquest Department’s unsigned reply to the Appeal:
‘The issue you have raised with regard to the exhaust of Harry’s car being warm when the vehicle was found is not material to the Coroner’s findings. The Coroner was satisfied that Harry arrived at Beachy Head after 19.00. You do not dispute that the body recovered was Harry’s.’ statement by Attorney General’s staff.
Julian Nettlefold submitted forensic evidence which would have been available to the Inquest to put doubt on this Statement in the form of calls made by his son at 832 and 845 from Rye Tennis Club which disproves the arrival at 7.04.
The warmth of the exhaust at 914pm is key forensic evidence so he disputed statement. Julian Nettlefold arranged a forensic test using the same VW Lupo model, and it was proved that if the car had arrived at 7.04, the exhaust would be cold by 914. It was warm as tested by the Beachy Head Chaplains, suggesting the car arrived at around 844.
The key evidence to prove the above was hidden deliberately by Coroner Craze from the list of phone calls which, under oath, Sussex Police confirmed under oath at a 2014 FoI Court Hearing that they hand delivered to him on September 15th 2011.
Alan Craze denied to Mr Nettlefold’s lawyer that he had that list, but he quoted from it at the Inquest and the caller, Cameron Drew, was interviewed by Sussex Police. That call at 844, to Sophie Stork was believed to have been triangulated at Beachy Head, along with a call from Harry Nettlefold to Cameron Drew at 845. Both calls along with the identity of the caller, Cameron Drew, were left out of the triangulation evidence submitted to the Inquest along with the list of calls, another point hidden from the Inquest. Another point hidden was that it was the same number as received by Peter Stork at 18:58. Harry Nettlefold was supposed to have died by su***de at 730pm.
The Attorney General’s staff says that: Julian Nettlefold did not dispute that the body recovered was Harry’s.
That is partially true. The body placed at the quay by the RNLI on September 29th was my son’s which had been delivered from London where Harry Nettlefold was murdered on the 28th. The RNLI has refused to hand over the Incident Reports even with a Court Application.
This hidden evidence totally and utterly disproves that Harry Nettlefold arrived at 7.04, jumped at 7.15 and was found at 730.
The body found at Birling Gap at 730pm (not the lighthouse) was not Harry Nettlefold’s as the Pozas told Sussex Police and the Coroner. They could not have swum to the lighthouse at 730pm as it was low tide. The RNLI could not have recovered the body at 845 as it was high tide. Both facts were submitted and ignored by the Attorney General’s staff.
The car, believed to be driven by Jamie Stork, not Harry Nettlefold, arrived at 8:44 and Cameron Drew is believed to have picked him up and called Sophie Stork. She waited 45 minutes to call Sussex Police to allow them to get away from the area at 935 from Camber Sands where she met my son and Ben Reeve who had picked him up from Rye Tennis Club at 845.
Thus, as the Attorney General has refused my Appeal, his staffare guilty of perverting the course of justice by refusing to act on key forensic evidence to disprove su***de whilst agreeing with a criminal who perverted the course of Justice by concealing evidence.
Alan Craze and Richard Grout are also guilty under the 1902 Cremation Act as they cremated Harry Nettlefold’s body without informing Mr Nettlefold
Mr Nettlefold complained about Alan Craze’s abusive and criminal behavior towards him eleven times to the OJC who did nothing. He has evidence from the charity Inquest that many other families have complained about this man who eventually left office in June 2024.
The forthcoming book is called Cliffs of Shame.
