This Pub Chef Had A Dark Secret...

Yeah.

Before we go into the murder of Sally Anne, I think it's important to address the horrific nature of what we've just learnt, and that is Graffam, who's a police sergeant with the Metropolitan Police.

He was exhibits officer, and that meant that items of the crime would come to his possession.

He would look after them, and obviously, those elements were photographs.

So he had photographs of the crime scene which would show Sally Anne Bowman.

Some of those were h- quite horrific.

Now, he says he kept them for the basis of training purposes that he would use to train the crime scene at a later date.

But there was evidence given at a hearing against him, was that he was showing those photographs to people, and there was indeed three witnesses who said that they had showed him, showed them the photographs of Sally Anne.

Well, he denied that, and his defense was that he was keeping it for the purposes of training.

The panel didn't accept that.

They didn't believe that, and as a result of that, they found against him.

Now, he'd already left the police service, but it's a t- total and utter disgrace that here we have a police officer keeping those images, kind of making fun of them, showing them around, and using them in a position that he thought he would gain benefit from.

You know, these victims are victims for life, and I think that to keep those images and show them around was utterly distasteful and has brought it back into the headlines again.

But the crime against Sally Anne is horrific, and it's horrific because Mark Dixie, again, walked amongst us.

In many ways, people who were close to him were quite disturbed and thought, "Well, actually, is he really the right man? He's quite a decent person." But the reality is, is that Mark Dixie's crime against Sally Anne Bowman was absolutely brutal.

It was sexually motivated.

It was brutal, and actually, his, the only reason he was eventually caught was because of the forensic nature of DNA.

Well, yeah.

So let, let me just, just stay where you started, which is with Detective Sergeant Jason Graffam, which is the guy who has put this back in the news and has caused pain to Sally Anne Bowman's family, which they really didn't need.

So the murder was nearly 20 years ago, as you say.

Graffam seems to have enjoyed bragging rights a- about his connection to the investigation, which was only really tangential anyway, 'cause he was in charge of the exhibits.

And he told...

And, and, and obviously somebody who liked a bit of banter.

So he says to a female officer, "You'd be just Dixie's type." He then sent, and this is not related to the Bowman case, he sent a Christmas card to another female officer saying, "Pull your knickers down immediately, and I'll oblige." He told the same officer, known as Miss A, "I was trying to look up your skirt," as they walked with colleagues to a mindfulness course.

So obviously, these colleagues are thinking this guy is a bad apple, and it comes to a head with them making a complaint, at which point someone goes into his desk, and they can't believe they find these pictures, and he's been showing them to people.
