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

[grahameb]

AE said Sheila was very uncordinated. Even pouring tea was difficult.

Ann Eaton hadn't visited Sheila or the Bamber family since Christmas 1984. So how could she make such a statement.

[Jane]

AE did not understand why Jeremy drove so slowly to WHF. She said he is a fast driver.

He was told by the police to wait for them.

[Adam]

AE believed Neville would have put the gun away.

Perhaps Jeremy had hidden it somewhere. Easily ready for collection.

[Adam]

AE said Jeremy never never showed any remorse for apparently leaving a fully loaded gun around.

[Jane]

Ann Eaton hadn't visited Sheila or the Bamber family since Christmas 1984. So how could she make such a statement.

Sheila was too unwell to visit WHF for Christmas 84. The last time Ann saw her would have been August/September 84.

[Adam]

Stan Jones said/asked AE to clean the house.

[grahameb]

AE said she did not understand why Jeremy did not call 999.

So what? Jeremy himself said that it didn't seem that serious. The reason being of course that Sheila had been in this state before and Nevill and Jeremy had managed to handle it. But he called the police just in case it all kicked off. To me there is no suspicion in not calling the police. It adds or subtracts to nothing. The question is a red herring. Ann Eaton was not qualified to ask such a question. She was not there. Jeremy was.

[Jane]

AE said Jeremy never never showed any remorse for apparently leaving a fully loaded gun around.

She was perhaps judging him by her own way of showing of remorse.

[Adam]

AE said the rigle sights would have remained on.

Anthony Pargeter said he saw the rifle with the silencer on the weekend before the murders. There is no reason to take it off. The rifle is used for shooting fast moving vermin.

[Jane]

AE believed Neville would have put the gun away.

Perhaps Jeremy had hidden it somewhere. Easily ready for collection.

We don't actually know that he DIDN'T, do we?

[Adam]

AE said Sheila would not know how to re load the gun.

[grahameb]

AE believed Neville would have put the gun away.

Perhaps Jeremy had hidden it somewhere. Easily ready for collection.

Again this is all a red herring. Jeremy didn't have to mention the gun at all. In all honesty Ann Eaton was not there and consequently in no position to make such a statement. If Jeremy wanted to murder his family he kne where the guns were kept so he didn't need to make up such a story.

[nugnug]

ae wouldent know that she hardly knew shiela.

[Adam]

AE said Jeremy was checking all the newspapers just after the murder.

No doubt so proud how the country were blaming Sheila.

[Jane]

AE said the rigle sights would have remained on.

Anthony Pargeter said he saw the rifle with the silencer on the weekend before the murders. There is no reason to take it off. The rifle is used for shooting fast moving vermin.

Bearing in mind that their aim was to see Jeremy convicted, they would, wouldn't they.
