Hi Keith,
Are you suggesting that there have been examples of a suspicious death in a military base in the UK where the civil power has not been informed? Or indeed treason,treason felony, manslaughter or rape.
I am simply saying that as far as I am aware these offences have always been dealt with in exactly the same manner, the civil authority has to be informed which in turn will result in the local constabulary being the investigative authority.
Regards
John
