Why would Bamber say this in 2003?

"I did not speak to Julie prior to speaking to the police, but spoke to her after I had spoken to them. The principle reason I spoke to her was because I was concerned about phoning the police and getting them involved in a private family matter."

Three years after Mike claims he admitted to him in prison that it was the other way around?

Somebody's fibbing......

If you read Jeremy Bambers police (September 1985) interviews, you will see that he fully explains the confusion created by DS "Stan" Jones, who was trying to muddle up Jeremy about the sequence of the phone calls he made to the police and Mugford that morning - I suggest you go and read those interviews and then you will have the answer to the question you pose, and realize that once again you have been exposed as someone who is not interested in the truth, you are just here to try and cause disruption on the forum. The only person who is fibbing about such matters, I am afraid, is you...

If you can read, go and read the police interviews, for your answer...

And whilst we are at it, could you please tell us all the sequence with which Peter Eaton returned a weapon to the scene, was it on evening of 9th August 1985 after police gave keys to Ann Eaton, or on the following morning before David Boutflour found the silencer (which had not been in that cupboard when police searched it) - why would anyone want to return a weapon to a murder scene after police had scarpered? I thought role of relatives was to go to the scene to remove weapons, not take them there...

Hi Vic
I notice that Mike is stating on other threads that JB made a phone call to Julie before he made a phone call to the police
I've asked for Mike to clarify the position but my requests are being ignored

I don't think it's that important which call was made first, if he called Julie first he could have been seeking advice on what to do. They were a pretty private family who didn't like outside interference so he called Julie saying "Something is wrong at the farm" to ask what he should do - as in - call the police or not? Remember she advised him to "Go back to bed". If he called the police first and then phoned Julie, he may have been simply asking if he had done the right thing. There is nothing sinister in not knowing what to do in a unique situation and then later worrying about it because it's obvious that someone is trying to use it against you!!

Thats strange So too have our requests for clarification re the putting back of a gun :D

Peter put a shotgun which was leaning against the wall of the Den, back in the gun cupboard.

It was done so secretly that David makes reference to it in a statement.

Hi April
I largely but not wholly agree with your assessment but what most certainly IS sinister is JB's apparent failure to be consistent in his version of events

The deeper the silence, the louder the words it covers?

Actually Jim, that was my post. However, I can understand the change because if I were innocent but knew my neck was on the line I might try and re-order the events a little - it doesn't point to guilt, it points to fear!!

Or not.

There may be a perfectly simple explanation but until there is one, it seems strange to take a gun back to a house which is unoccupied but more so because it was the intention to remove the weapons the following day.

I've just told you, he didn't return a gun to WHF, he put a shotgun leaning against the wall in the den (left out by the police) back in the gun cupboard.

It's up to you whether you believe that or not, but please do not attempt to mock me for not providing proof to dismiss somebody elses theories.

Eh? I'm not mocking you!! And of course it's up to me what I believe!! I didn't see you explanation, which may indeed be the case. However, I have to say that I find that odd given that DB was amazed at how many weapons were laying around, why didn't he put them all away and why did DB see fit to mention it as though it was the sole reason for him being there?
