Whilst it's true that any murderer could have just done it on the Monday when they knew Wallace would be at the Chess club, if they wanted to frame Wallace, they'd have to make the Qualtrough phone call from Wallaces' local phone box making sure it was traceable (though that could have been accidental and incidental when petty thief 'Parry' tried to con the exchange out of the cost of the call by saying he pressed button 'A' when in fact he'd pressed 'B'.
Giving him a bum steer as in a none existant address would ensure he was well out of the way for a time.
