72 page witness statement of Ann Eaton, made to COLP on 14 / 08/ 1991

[lookout]

Jeremy was gullible. Of that,there is no doubt at all.

[susan]

lookout  I agree think Jeremy was gullible and not a bit street wise Julie was the strong one in that relationship and this is why she went mental when he decided on another over her.

[lookout]

Commonly known as a patsy,Susan.

How distressed Ann was when she was showing the film-makers where the bodies of the family were found. Parading around WHF like a peacock,,not at all resembling someone in mourning !
I'm not at all happy over a few things concerning the relatives.

[susan]

April it is quite obvious now Jeremy was clueless about his relatives knowing within himself he was totally innocent it would not cross his mind they did not think the same it reminds me of the story of Little Red Riding Hood and Jeremy gave the relatives the keys to the farm and finished his relationship with Julie as he saw no wrong in them why would he suspect they would try and harm him   Bet he has had plenty of regrets since

[susan]

Lookout I'm not happy either about some of the behaviour of some of the relatives

Susan, in the two sentences I picked out from 72 pages Ann was clearly explaining that she had no REAL feeling for Jeremy and was just going through appropriate actions. If I go through the whole 72 pages I wonder what else I'll find.

[susan]

lookout I have often wondered had their been no farms, money, caravan parks and other properties would Jeremy Bamber be serving a life sentence just now.

[lookout]

My word,he's learned the hard way,,not to trust,or take people at face value,,even your family.

[susan]

lookout I have read that Jeremy can at times be difficult this could be due to the fact he has difficulty in trusting people and always thinks they have an ulterior motive (which many will have) and he is at such a disadvantage being locked up and having to rely on others as he does not have one family member.

[nugnug]

well hes been given plenty of reason to be like that.

[grahameb]

My word,he's learned the hard way,,not to trust,or take people at face value,,even your family.

Well he certainly trusted Ann Eaton by letting her have the keys instead of himself (for they were first offered to him by the police) Not expecting that they were plotting against him even at that stage. If it had been one of the "blood" relatives I bet you your bottom dollar that they would not suspect them in a blue moon. Jeremy certainly was gullible when it came to these scheming "relatives". Notice how they all closed ranks against Jeremy and excluded him from the start except from a reluctant peck on the cheek.

[Adam]

Oh dear. I have just read half of this statement.

Lots of quotes that did Jeremy no favours.

[nugnug]

which ones.

[Adam]

'Sheila was very protective of her children'

Twelve months before the murders

'I've got to be good to you. The caravan site will be yours & mine soon. Just you wait & see'.
