Jeremy Bamber trial examination

[Caroline]

His letter to Nevill suggests that he wanted sole custody.

But he didn't HAVE sole custody. Was that the letter he wrote in anger and never sent?

[Kaldin]

He didn't have it at the time, but it takes time to get sole custody.

Yes, it was that letter. I don't know why he didn't send it. Perhaps he felt it was a bit strong as it was quite harsh with regards to June.

His letter to Nevill suggests that he wanted sole custody.

I think that could have been more of a threat. From memory he didn't like what he believed June to be doing with them regarding praying.

[Kaldin]

There was a lot more to it than that. There was neglect, complaints from teachers, etc.

He may have just been venting his feelings, and having written it, decided that like many letters/posts, it was best not sent. However, given what occurred, he may have had cause to rethink.

Shelia was at breaking point come August 85 wasn't she. Whether you look at it from a guilty or innocent scenario

[ILB]

The August 2nd 1985 party, just sat there none respondant. Staring vacantly. Maybe she was sedated. But if she was sedated then why was she attending a party? How would she have the coordination, energy, to attend such an event. When we think of sedation, when we think of sedation, what comes to your head first off?

"Sedated" has different meanings. We can be sedated prior to a procedure. It can mean anything from a muscle relaxant to an anesthetic. In the case of the mentally ill it's a mood stabilizer which numbs and too much of which can make the patient lethargic. The balance is all important.

I suppose because she was the mother of Daniel and Nicholas, who probably requested her presence.

The twins went to Moreshead Mansions at weekends and jealously guarded this right. I don't see Colin gainsaying this arrangement in any way.

He could have sole custody and she could still have access. He wanted full control over the twins.

Kaldin Colin was the person who understood Sheila best. In no way would he have upset the equilibrium of the mother of his sons.

He would if he thought they were neglected. The boys were his priority.

Colin expressed his desire to have full custody of the twins in a letter he wrote to Nevil.

The letter was never send but it does give us a snapshot of what was going on in Colins mind at the time.

Pretty grim isn't it ?
