Possible other reason why Bamber called Chelmsford Police:

[mike tesko]

reference you saying Jeremy said his relationship with his sister was good. He also stated to police when asked who she would be more angrier at seeing " both of us , she doesn't like me and I don't like her"

We can all agree that Jeremy and Shelia's relationship wasn't brilliant

`I concur'...

I wonder when the relationship changed because that’s not what Colin stated

[lookout]

JB didn't know enough about Sheila's illness at the time which is probably why he didn't like her very much sometimes. He had no understanding of her moods and Sheila would have been frustrated because of her illness and everyone's lack of understanding of herself and her problems.

No thanks to the parents for keeping things quiet. The tragedy could have been avoided.

[lookout]

It was only when JB visited the prison library that he was able to get a better understanding of paranoid schizophrenia. JB knew he hadn't committed any crime but was curious to find out how Sheila's brain had misfunctioned that night. It's obvious that he's studied a lot about her illness which is probably why he's appeared calm while in prison as it would have been the " not knowing " which would have caused him further grief as to why he'd been locked up.

Obviously he's now got sympathy and also forgiveness towards Sheila for what she's done though probably at the back of his mind he'd wished he'd known then what he knows now.

The calmness and acceptance always struck a chord with Jeremy with me. He has served nearly 40 years but has never shown a modicum of having anytype of breakdown. Many high profile convicted prisoners like him have attempted suicide. Huntley, bellfield brady on hunger strike. Bamber has taken everyday of imprisonment in his stride

He took to jail like a duck in a pond. Which is unusual considering his comfortable background.

He did have a 'dirty protest' early on.  What have you concluded from the above? 

Did you meet other middle class prisoners?  What about John cannan?

Was it really so comfortable? Being labelled "The Bastard" for eight years at school and not shining in any particular activity save target shooting, working at Little Chef at Rivenall End, travelling the world on a wild goose chase, dependent for money on people he despised.

Think he enjoyed that bit. But the bank of mum & dad ran dry.

Think he did have a comfortable upbringing. Not many people had the chance to travel the world at an early age. Australia New Zealand. Appreciate being called a " bastard " is not nice. But apart from that I believe he didn't have that much trouble at Gresham's and found it not hard to make friends

in fairness Steve it's not the hardest of upbringings. And he had material things. He had two loving parents. I've never heard one person say a bad thing about Mr Bamber senior.
