In relation to the evidence about drug deals, in her statement, Jaggers claims that Steele had attended Tucker's home address a few days before drugs were imported into the country by Steele.
In the summary of evidence not disclosed until after the first CCRC referral, a date of 7th November is given for this event.
Given that Jaggers is showing Steele's presence as to collect money in advance of a drug importation, maybe the reason the document was withheld is because Darren Nicholls, according to the prosecution went abroad with the money for the drug importation on 6th November, and the sighting of Steele at Tucker's address (which has always been disputed, Mr Steele's case is that this alleged sighting was pure invention) did not fit into the scenario the prosecution wanted to portray.
If he had gone to collect money to fund a drug shipment, he was a day too late (on the prosecution's own case as Nicholls had already left England for the continent).
Why is the date 7th November 1995 in the summary? Was the reality that it was in her statement but when police realized the problem with that date her statement was changed omitting the date? Though the Jaggers' statement is dated 14th March 1996, it was not served on the defence until the service of the committal bundle on 4th July 1996. No prosecution statements or transcripts of interview had been served by the prosecution prior to that date.

The call from Whomes to Steeles landline on the 5th at 18:07 was logged on the Hockley transmitter so the notion is that it was possibly used as a dry run
but this doesn't mean he was actually there at the lane.
The Hockley antenna he was logged on covers a lot of area.
The prosecution put it to Whomes that the call to Steele at 6.07 pm was a dry run for what was to come. That Whomes was in Workhouse Lane seeing if it was a suitable location for what they had to do. Whomes claims he was in Bulphan trying to get the old trailer back. It is not known if any cell site work was done on Nicholls mobile.
If he had been in the Rettendon area as well it would blow the theory that he knew nothing about the shootings the next night.
Unfortunately, by the time the defence have been
handed the list, they are told the cell site evidence had gone.
And from the phone list it could be argued that Nicholls, is the one calling Steele the night before to see What plans he had the next evening.
He is also the one calling Steele on the 6th.
The defence argued that perhaps perhaps it was not Steele who was organising the murders to take place that night. For the edited phone list on the day after the murders, there was something that the jury may not have spotted.

The data that was used in the case of the Essex Boys murders was retrospective Call Data Records (CDR) from the billing systems of the service providers. The schedules which are well known and published by the prosecution and the defence. Nothing more or nothing less...
Zero about phones pinging when not being used

Nicholls was a manipulative liar who had cobbled together a false story with the assistance of Detective Constables Brown and Winstone and on the back of his corrupt relationship with Detective Constable Bird.
He had done so in order to cover up or minimise his own criminality in relation to the drugs importations and the murders and in order to receive a lenient sentence.
