Question.

If Jeremy Bamber did not want his sister to get his share of the inheritance, why did he not just kill her and make it look like suicide?

I'm sure I must be misunderstanding your question..

Hi Lugg,,,it was Granny Speakman,,,to whom Jeremy was the "apple of her eye ",,that if Jeremy wanted to bump anyone off,it would have been her.? She was elderly,not in particularly good health and who also had already made provisions for him.
Would she not have been an easier target,than 5 people,to someone who was bent on living the high-life.?

I know what I'd preferred to have done if I'd been that way inclined.! Jeremy often visited Granny Speakman too.

But apparently, allegedly rather, he said that he will not share his inheritance with his sister. Apparently according to some she was the obstacle standing between him and his inheritance. So Sheila already being psychotic would surely have been the target? That obstacle removed by suicide arranged by him, he then only had to wait until his parents died? Surely it would have been easier to cover up one death than five? I've questioning the logic of killing five members of the family when only one would have been sufficient to serve his cause?

Apart from the fact that he didn't want to wait for his parents to die, if he'd just have killed Sheila he couldn't have guarenteed that his parents wouldn't have made the twins beneficiaries of Sheila's half.

The premise is that JB was greedy and couldn't wait, he wanted the money now! (or then).

I reiterrate,,he could have killed Granny Speakman,couldn't he.? She was old,sick and wealthy,and only one of her,not 5.?

The question of course is a redundant one of course. As it cannot be proved that he ever said those words in the first place?
