Post Mortem

[lookout]

Yes,Bloggs,they are odd words,which could be taken either way,pro or anti.
AE doesn't strike me as asking after anyone's health,least of all JB's.

[Patti]

My first thought would be "Thank god he is alright" not go round with a notebook and pen, collecting untoward comments, to use in "I'm going to prove you did it"

Why did she ask for black flowers for Sheila if she thought JB had committed the crimes?

[HMEssex]

You may jest? But I've heard stories just like that one. But you know what keeps niggling me? It is the words of Ann Eaton when she "wondered why Jeremy wasn't among the dead?". Would that be your first thought if your family were murdered? Would you not rather expect her to say, "Oh no! Is Jeremy alright?" Or then again why be surprised at all? Since he lived somewhere else and not at the farm. Very strange words indeed don't you think?

I agree, very strange words.

Jeremy didn't live at WHF so why would she expect him to be dead too?

I find this comment an odd one too. Why should Jeremy be 'among the dead' when he didn't live there any longer.

If only Jeremy were dead too, then...

[Jane]

If only Jeremy were dead too, then...

.......as she rubs hands with glee, thinking of all that lovely lolly!!!!!! SORRY, SORRY. Can't imagine what made me think that.

AE knew that Jeremy was at WHF that day,visiting,but to all intents and purposes,he left the farmhouse at 10pm that night. I think it was AE who was having a phone conversation with June while Jeremy was there,so she'd have naturally known. AE might have thought that JB was staying.

No AE did not have a phone conversation with June. Even Chelsea had more shots on target.

Hi lookout I believe it was June,s sister who was on the phone that night as usual can,t remember her name. 

[lookout]

Thanks Susan. I knew someone was on the phone to June,but never sure who the caller was.
Perhaps Hartley will know.

June's sister Pamela.

Thankyou,NGB. Much appreciated.

Hi Lookout....Barbara Wilson phoned earlier that night and said she thought Nevill was sharp with her. Pam rang about 10pm and she spoke to Shelia, but could only get a yes and no out of her, then she suddenly went to bed according to June.

PB goes on to say that they had made arrangements for June, Sheila and the children to visit her on the Thursday and they also spoke about concerns in the family, but, she did not elaborate on them in her statement and she was never asked about it either as far as I am aware....

I think Pam said the conversation lasted about 20 minutes or so...

[lookout]

Yes,Patti,,,the conversation was slightly " heated " at times. It would have helped knowing what it was all about really,though I'm not in the habit myself of either listening in to phone-calls,nor asking about their content,but in this case it may have thrown light on why Nevill was sharp,,,,,or perhaps that could have been the way he was. That as well I can relate to.
