The ITV Drama

Wasn't he threatened with being cut out of the will? That would have been a disaster. He had no qualifications and didn't care for hard work. Marriage with Suzette may not have been the idyll he's imagined.

I've never read that Nevill threatened to cut him out of his Will for that reason.

Well I'm surprised at this post. Not only was Jeremy tied to a job he yearned to be free from as long as his father lived he had the added bonus of becoming sole beneficiary should all five die in one go.

Are you saying everyone who could inherit more , and faster , would risk 5 live sentences ? Especially when they were quite well off anyway ?

[Jan]

If Jeremy didn't keep farming, he would still get half of it.

Whatever the reason, it's never a good idea.

If Julie bought a flat with 25000. If jeremy sold his shares he would still have enough for 3 flats in London already . He was not exactly poor .

I'm not sure how much his shares were worth. He had 20% of N&J Bamber and 8% of the caravan business.

.

But as I said he could always sell his shares

It says on the video about how the businesses were run down that his shares were worth £75000

But he got a bill for winding up the businesses when the profits were wiped out of £16000

"Quite well off" is entirely relative. It depends on the style one lives up to, or wants to achieve. It depends on whether or not one is content with one's lot. I suspect Jeremy wasn't. Was he risking 5 life sentences? probably, in his eyes, not. He'd have believed all the I's and T's were dotted and crossed or he wouldn't have done it.

He wanted the lot.

The Murders at White House Farm Chapter 8

Jeremy told his parents that he was staying with a friend in Colchester, but the truth caused uproar when it emerged. Sue believed the problem lay entirely with June, recalling that Jeremy got on well with his father, whom he referred to as "Matey", and was proud of his work as a magistrate. But Nevill objected to the affair almost as strongly as his wife. Confronting his son with uncharacteristic severity, he warned Jeremy that if he didn't end the relationship, he could expect to be disinherited.

I doubt in Maida Vale, even at 1984 prices.

Carol Lee again?

He wanted the lot.

Can’t you just say you think he wanted the lot rather than posting it as a fact .

Well I think he must have spent 12 months very badly weighing up the risks then . How did he know he was going to be dealing with the keystone cops ?

[Steve_uk]

Carol Lee again?

Yes I won't embellish if you don't mind.

I always think of the old grannie who didn't have long for this earth anyway at the time of the murders. It was only a matter of a year or so when no doubt JB would have had a mention in the Will because of him being her " favourite " grandson.
Why spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar ? He wasn't going to blot his copy-book for the sake of a year. I don't believe it at all.

He couldn't guarantee that she would change her Will and leave him anything though.
