What is interesting is that in RWB statement he said that Jeremy and he got on well. And yet 5 days after the murders When he did not have all the facts or evidence in his possession ( how could he the police still were stating that it was murder suicide) he was making moves to ensure Jeremy was out as far as the family was concerned. That is a man on a mission. You would think they would all be in shock - obviously not.
I get along well with my brother but if I believe he killed our parents I would be like RWB if not killing him for what he did.
I don't think he can be faulted for his outrage, it is common for families to disown suspected killers or even disown over less.
It is true that some react in the opposite manner, live in denial and will stand by killers no matter but such people are the minority. A situation comes to mind where a sister and brother became estranged because she insisted her father was innocent despite being convicted of killing their mother. So not only did they lose their mother but eachother.
The full picture of Sheila not being very coordinated, not expereinced with guns or interested in guns, the unlikelihood of Nevill's alleged call, lies Jeremy told the police and family during the initial days and the rest together combines provides plenty of reasons to be suspicious. Telling the fmaily the gun did not fit in the closet with the miderator attached so the scope and moderator had to be removed was rather dumb. Not only did the family know otherwise worse what does removing the scope have to do with it? Saying he took the gun out to shoot vermin when he was not known to do such is not wise either. His claim he wanted a gun to shoot vermin wasn't right either. He originally wanted a 12 gauge semiautomatic shotgun which obviously was not for shooting vermin.
Jeremy strikes me as a BS artist. Some BS artists actually are careful and they carefully make up a lie and stick to it. Jeremey didn't remember what lies he told and just told different people different things thus contradicting himself and even told some people several different stories. When you are not consistent you raise red flags, when you make claims that make no sense that raises red flags and when you make claims people know are not true you raised red flags. The family saw such red flags very early on. They would be the logical ones to recognize the red flags early on. Police had took a while to synthesize the information.
