Nick Milbank confirms that Jeremy Bamber is innocent

[ILB]

The problem with the phone call is for JB you would expect him to get it bang on though. You can't really use the excuse of " Well it was treated as murder suicide so I kind of forgot how he sounded "

If the phone call happened it's the most probably noteworthy moment of his life.

In the podcast Jeremy gives a plausible reason why he dialed the local Police Station.

No one will ever know why Sheila didn't speak on the phone, there could be any number of reasons.

There was some controversy as to whether he telephoned Witham or not. As for his reasons for not dialling 999, the time elapsed from the purported Nevill call to Jeremy and Jeremy speaking to PC West was a convenient interlude for Jeremy to clean himself up after the diablerie he had just committed.

I suspect that he was discombobulated when something he hoped would never happen was unexpectedly occurring, so he had to suddenly think of something to say.

So Bill, Milbank has always known Jeremy was innocent and kept quiet about it until Heidi rumbled him - is that what you are saying?

And I thought Woodward & Bernstein were good.

Was there or wasn't there a phone call made at around 6.09am from WHF on that fateful morning?

It seems something happened at 6.09.Handyman, which caused a 999 call to be made to police HQ.
Either Sheila phoned the operator, who then put her 999 call through to police HQ.
or, the operator somehow managed to make a call directly from WHF to police HQ,

Are there any BT operators out there who can explain just how Jean Rowe was able to link the open line in WHF through to police HQ by making a 999 call from inside the farm house?
Is this even possible? Anybody have a clue?
In a nut shell, what exactly did Jean Rowe do at 6.09, technically speaking!

Or is it even possible that Sheila did not make the call. Neville or June could still be just alive and made the call prior to finally passing.

That would be unlikely, Handyman, it would mean that Nevill or June had no head shots at that time!

[Steve_uk]

Jeremy in fairness has gone from "my father sounded really frightened I don't think he was kidding " To in the recent podcast " I thought dad would say " For fucks Jeremy why did you phone the police for "

Accept that after 40 years of jail the mind is frazzled.

Was Nevill in the habit of waking his son up in the middle of the night during the busiest time of the year. just kidding, of course?

[Steve_uk]

You can't keep a good " man " down ! Hello All.




A question--------did Milbank know June and Nevill personally ?

Welcome back lookout. Milbank was based in Cheltenham, starting work for police in 1974. He'd be around Sheila's age. We're told in the books that Nevill knew the Witham police through his work on the magistrates' bench. I'd be surprised if either of the Bambers knew Milbank personally, but I don't know.

He would have been too knackered by the commute from Cheltenham to socialize I expect.

Yes, he would, even in the 1980s. Chelmsford might be more doable.

I've listened to the New Yorker podcast episodes 5 and 6 - Nick Milbank says "I don't really remember much about it at all to be honest"

Seems to me this is worthless as evidence. Am I missing something?

Well I suppose it depends if any more documentation is unearthed or other witnesses come forward with information of exactly what happened at 6.09, Jonathan.
