I’m still waiting on Adam telling us if he stands by his assertion that Julie said Bamber “Used” the Sea Wall route, maybe he’s flicking through Wilkes’ book to find the quote.
Well,Julie had Bamber using a bike himself,but she also had Bamber using a hitman.
Obviously the police were covering all bases when Julie gave her first statement accusing Bamber.
JB and Brett were being questioned around the same time,and Brett I imagine was quite convincing and sincere when he claimed that JB didn't have the guts to shoot his family himself,this would have troubled the police who no doubt prompted Julie to the possibility of a hitman just incase they decided to pursue that line of enquiry,then any hitman could then be linked to JB.
In other words at that stage they had a statement from Julie which could cover two possibilities,Bamber as the killer or Bamber who hired a hitman.Very clever really.
They didn't have the guts to include the silencer evidence in Julies statement at this stage because the results probably weren't back or were inconclusive,hence if Julie did claim that JB told her about returning the silencer to the cupboard and then the silencer evidence was debunked,the whole of Julie's evidence would be seen as pure lies and fiction.Trouble is,it has been pointed out by members that JB would have had no reason to withhold the details of the silencer from Julie,not if he told her every other detail.
No,to be quite honest,I tend to believe and trust Brett when he says JB didn't have it in him to pull the trigger himself,a man in his twenties who regularly dyes his hair quite obviously has effeminate traits to say the least.
To be quite honest,both JBs and Bretts statements have a ring of truth,where as Julie's and the relative's sound like something out of fairyland with Julie giving an open ended statement comprising mostly of RWBs scenarios,including bikes,windows and hitmen.
