Neville & Jeremy. The last blazing row ?

[Patti]

Lookout is talking about Jimmy Bell, JB - I presume. 

I know. Now she will have me guts for garters....

[Jane]

EP allowed JB a gun licence on release from prison,after being inside on a charge of ABH ?

Oh, I get your point, Lookout, although the ABH charge had nothing to do with a gun. I'm very bad on timelines but I THINK the prison term was in the early 80's. He met Augusta when he was released and it's POSSIBLE that with a new interest, the threats to his family ceased. His temper, though, was no less moderated.

I realised you didn't catch that it wasn't Jeremy I was talking about. No problem.x No thick ear this time

[Patti]

Patti,it's a quote from Peter Healeys' book. You should see the brash comment from Harrison.At least Thomas's book is out.

I gathered that Lookout.....I do have one eye shut you know..  

This information where does it originate from? from the book? Who witnessed it and is there any statement or documents to prove that this happened?  Me is being naughty....lol

He'd have been a suspect in my books,April.

[Jane]

April, I wouldn´t call stalking "nothing more than" - it is very serious, especially if you wave a deadly weapon around!

Yes Alias, you have a point :D

It's all from the author,Peter Healey,Patti. He knows Essex and everyone there like the back of his hand.

I was reading about that this morning. Must have been absolutely horrible.Bad enough being away from home as a young child,but to suffer the wrath of teachers and pupils as well would have been the worst torture/nightmare. No wonder some of the kids go off the rails,or end up crackers.

Whose to say he wasn't even though, as I said, it simply WASN'T his style, PLUS I really can't see him walking 12 odd miles from Coggeshall to D'arcy and he could N EVER have been described as SCRUFFY. If he'd done it, he wouldn't have hidden it. He'd have driven straight up to the door. Also to bear in mind is that he lived with his wife, daughter and two adult sons, and generally speaking, what is harvest time for one farmer is harvest time for another.

I agree 100% - and as I said, I hope there is more protection of those little kids now.
Is it still normal in certain circles to send their children away to boarding school at the age of 8? It is far, far too early to be sent away from home!!!

[Patti]

No, he took the tractor to Goldhanger and THEN went to WHF.

He dropped the grabber off the tractor at Goldhanger, but then drove the tractor back to WHF to pick his car up.  Otherwise what would he have drove to WHF?

He wouldn't have walked,that's for sure.

It was a year or so later after rge WHF murders that Jimmy shot his wife,then himself.

This is actually very remarkable - when you think about that he had threatened the Bambers - with a 22. rifle.
