Brett Collins was as close to Jeremy as anyone. Very good friends. If not his closest friend. Particular around the time.
I am currently rewatching the Louie theroux documentary.
According to Brett this is the exact dialogue of what was said. While they were in holiday in France prior to Jeremy's final arrest and charge.
Brett : What happened?
Jeremy : you would not believe what happened.
Appreciate Brett could be making his own revisionism on this. For effect. However it may be true after both were arrested he began to suspect his friend. He initially according to him came to England after being in Greece to offer his friend support. However in fairness if it is true Jeremy didn't say what an innocent man should say " what are you on about, Shelia killed them, I wasn't even there "
In his police interviews Brett says he believes Jeremy to be innocent and could never have done this.
Did Brett have first hand knowledge? I tend to think if gulity he did tell Brett.
Brett had no affiliation to the family. I think Brett may have at the very least if Jeremy is gulity known or his plan to kill his family. I wonder if they made long distance phonecalls together.
I understand Brett's view today is is that Jeremy is gulity but hired someone
