Jeremy Bamber: the Prelude, the Tragedy and the Aftermath

[Steve_uk]

yes it certainly looks like a propagater,a' heated version' a few friends who like to grow they own 'herbs' have the same one.he may not have been using it at the time of the murders.but just kept it for future use ,anyway he's cunning enough to have moved it that morning from his locked bedroom to the office.homegrown cannabis was not common in the 80's ,but it does make you wonder abouts the reports of jb growing cannabis

I can't remember now where Julie said he grew cannabis. I do recall that she said he was moody without it.

He grew it in his garden and I believe there were a few places around the farm.

steve if she said he's moody without it ,that means he was a regular smoker of cannabis and not just now n than

yes caroline the farm is a big place.i also fancy his room if he had the key for it.would be interesting if bw could tell us if she ever saw it in the office.iam convinced had the police found it in jb's locked room,they would have treated jb with more caution.imo

theres an old chinese saying.'many minds are better than one' how ignorant taff jones was thinking only his opinion mattered and the other officers didnt know better than him.

He was probably trying to cover his tracks as it became increasingly clear he had been duped by Jeremy before he was given gardening leave.

'gardening leave' nicely put steve

You know I was thinking that in the aftermath Jeremy never wrote to the relatives but he did write to Colin, however vile the letters were. Could it be that he thought Colin owed him for allowing him to start anew, not realizing of course what emotional trauma he had suffered from the loss of his boys?

Depends on your mind,Steve.

I won't post the letters again unless requested to. He did make the relatives appear at some Land Tribunal hearing which was to take place at Full Sutton Prison, but from what I recall in the books it all fell through.

As a possible new trial is discussed in another thread let us reflect for a moment on the prevailing zeitgeist of the 1980s, whose influences pervaded many and caught Jeremy Bamber up in their midst.

One episode in particular struck a chord.

After all the dissimulation and the controversies, this case remains a human story of five lives tragically taken one summer morning thirty-three years ago. It's the story of how one man's hatred for his parents grew insidiously inside his brain until the only solution was to kill those whom he deemed responsible for his plight, and there followed the collateral damage of his sister and nephews, who also had to die under his evil scheme. The tragic irony remains that he killed one set of prison guards only to replace them with another as he languishes now behind a new set of bars. Amongst the living Colin has borne the brunt, but we as a human race are also somewhat tarnished as we reflect on the anniversary and what might have been.

Is this a blurb for your crime-fiction novel?

No it's a tribute to the five victims who needn't have died thirty-three years ago today. As for Jeremy Bamber he can have as many badminton lessons as he likes. I don't wish to make his life in prison as miserable as deprivation of liberty must be, with nothing to look forward to save crabby old age.

Can you post them please?
