Neville & Jeremy. The last blazing row ?

[lookout]

Assuming the hitchhiker had a return air ticket ? Because his funds appeared pretty limited. Thumbing lifts doesn't sound like someone who could afford another 2 week stay ?
The description was almost like Brett Collins,even down to the accent,as Oz,South African and also New Zealand,sound pretty similar.

[lookout]

Ralph Neville had been working late in the fields on the night of the murders.How late I wonder ?
He'd taken the tractor and trailer to where he was staying at Osea caravan park.? Why,when he had a car which was parked at WHF ? Then he dropped off the tractor and trailer next morning,with the police allowing him to pick up his car ?

If this was the hitchhiker who Mr Chalmers picked up,why thumb a lift if you'd collected your car from WHF ? Ralph Neville returned to South Africa the following month after the murders.

Do we know anthing about this guy,or the purpose of his visit,and which farmhouse he stayed at while working at WHF ?

Saying that,I've had a bloody awful thought.

This is exactly the confusion I had last night involving a farm worker. So it WASN'T AFB I was referring to--------------it was this guy,Ralph Neville.

No, there is no 'Ralf Neville' - unless they were using WHF as a car park  . It's obvious that the story relates to the same person and he made a statement and his name was Fraser-Bell.

I give up 

Where is the official account that this Ralf Neville existed and that he left his car at WHF and took a tractor back to the caravan park? It seems the caravan park was full of tractors that night  . Come on Lookout, you MUST realise that RN and FB are the SAME person? 

[lookout]

FB was a millionaire not a hitchhiker. Ralph Neville was a distant relative of Neville Bambers'.

I wasn't aware that FB was a millionaire. Jimmy B was reputed to be -on the local grapevine- but was close enough to penury that he had to sell his crop BEFORE it was harvested and couldn't have been said to OWN anything. It was all leased.

Lookout I read a guy had been staying at the farm but June put him on his way because he had drugs he left the area on the morning of the murders and did hitch back to France now is name I do not know of indeed if this story is true or a myth

[lookout]

 Not sure about that one Susan,only about the young relative who June was looking after to try and wean him off drugs,but that was well before the murders I think.June had actually volunteered to have him at WHF,so obviously not the same guy.
As I mentioned,there were so man comings and goings ( of course to be expected as it was a business ) but a flying visit from one of Nevilles' relatives was seemingly odd.

[susan]

lookout that is the guy I am talking about I thought he left the farm just before the murders and some thought he was in on the murders

[lookout]

 Seems like another student,Susan. One who Jeremy had got to know by working on the farm. There was an argument over women or drink and he ended up staying at the caravan park.
There were two South Africans if you include Ralph Neville,along with this student. Gets worse.

[lookout]

 Obviously the student must have been Fraser-Bell.

[lookout]

You've got to admit,it does get confusing.

I believe the young male relative to have been a Pargeter nephew to Neville.

[lookout]

Ralph Neville was staying in a campervan on the farm at the time of the murders. Apparently he came away from South Africa on account of the violence there. This guy also had a companion ?

It was Fraser-Bell who was staying at WHF,until he had some trouble with a woman,it seems,then toddled off to the caravan site. RWB snr was a tutor at the agri college where FB attended.

We'll get there in the end. Just separating the wheat from the chaff first.

lookout think it is easier to stay confused
