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

Afraid my eye. If Julie was purported to have known months before,that Jeremy was allegedly going to kill everyone,,then why didn't she approach the relatives then ? How do you think that the relatives see Julie, after having kept  " this secret of hers ",,after the relatives befriending her at the time ? Did they then,,or now believe the woman ?

Firstly Julie did not believe Jeremy. Even on the massacre night she told him not to be so ridiculous at 10am.

Julie was also Jeremys girlfriend. So not going to go behind his back. Espescially if she thought Jeremy was not serious.

But EVERYBODY believed her over Jeremy. The more she lied,the more people believed her------------all because nobody liked Jeremy !
How pathetic that this case,and Jeremys' conviction was all about jealousy and a personality clash with the cops.

Adam, if he'd allegedly only said it once, I'd feel inclined to agree, but according to her, not only had he discussed it, he'd even attempted a practice run that she'd provided the means for. I think that "not going behind his back" under the circumstances is an empty excuse. She was an adult, supposedly in loco parentis to others' children. I would have expected a deeper sense of obligation.

Hi lookout  remember Julie's story that Jeremy had been planning these horrendous murders for nearly a year she gave him her sleeping tablets so Jeremy could drug Ralph and June then burn the house down but that was not carried out as the house was full of valuable antiques (must have had no insurance) Julie was now part of this intended horrendous crime otherwise she would have notified the police or indeed Ralph Bamber.  Then all is quiet till Jeremy dumped her then she put her plan into operation by rights she should have been charged with bank fraud buying and supplying drugs and an accessory to 5 murders.  All the evidence hidden under PII could free Jeremy Bamber.

Whatever the truth in this case it is bloody tragic. Five people dead....and a man behind bars who might be innocent.....or might not depending upon your interpretation of the available evidence.

[susan]

Droosie I agree 5 innocent people dead and a could be innocent man in prison for life.  Maybe new evidence will be released which is being held under PII and prove Jeremy Bamber innocent this is what I find most worrying about this case burnt evidence hidden evidence documents changed what is being hidden I also find Julie's story difficult to believe as she states she knew Jeremy's intentions for nearly a year but did nothing about it and could have saved the lives of the 5 people murdered so so sad and tragic.

Hi Susan,,It beggars belief that some people can't see through this. Sleeping pills would have been a good starter if Jeremy had had designs on killing anyone. He could have dropped them in JMs' drink at his house,then gone out and she wouldn't have been any the wiser,,if his intentions had been real...But they weren't and he didn't murder anyone,but took the flak all the same,, simply because they were all in it together,led by a harridan of a woman who'd been scorned,,and she must know it too ! Plus a team of police whose heads would have been on the chopping block if they hadn't have solved this crime after the Diane Jones one.

[susan]

Hi lookout  what was Julie doing with sleeping tablets at her age think the wacky backy would have helped her sleep.  She had only taken one wonder where they ended up.  I have never been able to figure out how anyone could go to the morgue and identify those two beautiful little boys then go back home to bed with the man she accused of doing it I will never accept that ever.

Susan,,I often wonder if the rellies knew that little gem. Would they still remain friendly with JM if they knew that she had known ? Interesting. Or would there be doubts among the rellies given JM's track record on lies and deceit ? No wonder everyone's quaking.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Simon McKay had just one tape conversation from inside the farmhouse,where " someone " was speaking ? That would leave Jeremy free to walk.

Hello april  Julie told the story that Jeremy got rats stoned so he could practice strangling them

Perhaps he is the sixth victim of WHF tragedy?  Unwittingly placed in his predicament by his sister.  Some of his own behaviour, his cold, grasping relatives conducting a kangaroo court and a cabal of of bent coppers didn't exactly help his situation.

[susan]

Hi lookout  I know where you are coming from and will pm you.

Susan, if she told that to the police they must have thought "We've got a right one here" :D :D :D

It didn't take her long to go behind his back after he'd dumped her ! The seed of dishonesty and deceit was already there,,as was the need to do damage,,and do damage she did.

Nobodty liked Jeremy ?

The police, court, jury, CCRC, DPP, COA had never met him before the massacre. Julie was his girlfriend & I do not recall any of the relatives saying they disliked Jeremy beforehand.
