Even more reason to suspect that Nevill never reached a telephone that morning. Jeremy's personality explains why he had to get in on the act: a solitary,neglected boy who had no sense of where he belonged in life except a vague notion of being in the monied classes which sustained him throughout his teenage years,suddenly grasping his opportunity to put eveything behind him,causing a commotion and becoming the centre of attention therefrom,playing the part of a heartbroken son when expedient until the time when memories faded and Jeremy could resume the playboy lifestyle.
Neville was shot on the stairs. He was either heading to the kitchen to the phone or trying to get outside. He was badly injured.
Jeremy chased him downstairs, he had run out of bullets. He hit Neville as hard as possible with the rifle butt. This injured Neville further. There was no going back now & a fired up Jeremy continued to brutally beat Neville until he no longer resisted.
The gun was reloaded...
