Robert Boutflour statement, dated, 10th September 1985...

I agree April, I wonder how much anger was also focussed on June and Nevill for daring to bring infiltrators into the family and spend money which was rightfully theirs on the infiltrators?   Makes you think really.

Maggie, other than monetary, he seems to have had very little interest in the Bambers' lives. He doesn't seem to know when Jeremy and Sheila were born. He gets the names of the twins wrong. There seems to have been very little by way of socializing between them. I would say that it's more than possible that the advent of Sheila and Jeremy created a chasm which widened as years passed. I can't imagine that Nevill would have had much affection for a man who denigrated his son at every opportunity.

That would NOT have gone down well,Maggie. When you think about it,it's a disgusting and despicable attitude to use against two babies.

He doesn't seem to know 'anything' about them as children. He goes from them being adopted to being sent to 'expensive' private schools.

Bit like Adam, then. Big on verbals but with little substance

Maggie/Lookout It occurs to me that such was their combined sense of injustice -I'm not including Pam in this- at where the family money would eventually find its' way to, that theirs was an anger looking for somewhere to explode, all evinced, IMO by RWB's telling words "How I loathe that boy"

The latter remark was made on a tour of the White House post-murders and is perfectly understandable as the results of Jeremy's handiwork sink in. Far more revealing are his diary entries where it's revealed Jeremy had previously left a rifle on the settle causing Nevill concern,as well as Nevill confiding into a friend John Seabrook that Jeremy's behaviour had moved him to tears.http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,246.msg1557.html#msg1557

I also note that both children had apparently been inconsiderate to their parents and their behaviour according to Robert Boutflour had landed June in hospital in 1982. There was to be a payment of £10,000 made to Sheila which I assume was to enable   her to buy the flat in Maida Vale. There's also reference later to June making a quarterly allowance to Sheila starting from her birthday,which also would not have gone down well with Jeremy.http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1363.0;attach=23260;image
