Lured Away -------------------------------

Details That Point to a Coverup At Port Arthur ------------------------------ Email: editor@shootersnews.addr.com


Many people will wonder where were the local police at Port Arthur when the shooting started ? Answer - they had been lured away from the area.

One hour before the massacre commenced, the only two policemen on the Tasmanian Peninsula were decoyed to a remote location at Saltwater River by anonymous caller reporting a big stash of heroin. There was no heroin, and four minutes after the two policemen reported their arrival at Saltwater by radio, the shooting started in the Broad Arrow Cafe. The drive from Saltwater to Port Arthur is a minimum of 30 mins. The mass murder lasted only 17 minutes from start to finish. ( Above passage by Joe Vialls ).

The "heroin" turned out to be soap powder in glass bottles.

Was this anonymous caller linked to the gunman at Port Arthur and designed to send local police away to the furthest point on the pennisula at the time the shooting was planned to start ?

If so how could Martin Bryant have done this ? Did he have a police radio so he could know when the local police had arrived at their destination ? Was he that clever and cunning ? If so why was there no police radio or scanner found ?

Given Martin Bryant was later assessed by psychiatrists as being in the lowest 2 percent of the population in terms of intellect how and when did this flash of brillance occurr ?
