Neville & Jeremy. The last blazing row ?

[Jane]

Those relatives don´t strike me as superstitious people!

Nor me, but I suspect they knew Colin was into the esoteric and, whether Jeremy was guilty or innocent, it might have been to their advantage to have Colin on their side as opposed to Jeremy's.

[Adam]

They told Colin they knew it was that window because a robin shat in the sill. What do you make of that?

Well I do not know how they can work it out from that.

Jeremy was not about, so AE could go to WHF as she pleased. So makes sense, after finding the silencer they should do some window investigating.

And yet they didn't tell Colin that the window could be locked from outside, they told him the pathetic story of the Robin and when they asked it for a sign, it crapped on the sill. It would have been more apt if it had been a 'bull'

Neither do I, but that is what they told poor Colin.

I agree - they made it up most likely. If they did, that is actually quite low.

Edit to add, it makes you wonder what else they made up. Either way, this robin story does nothing for their credibility.

What about the elephant in the room? They were heading towards a zoo, weren't they :D

Now that would have been some bombshell.

Indeed it would, Lookout

[Mr. Gee]

Jeremy had decided to go to dinner with friends and then onto the Notting Hill carnival when arriving back in England. He told Ann  that he was selling everything inside WHF, apart from a few things he was keeping for himself.

The silencer test results were three weeks away & the police had refused to search Jeremy's cottage. Despite the relatives request.

An impatient AE & RB drove to the empty WHF to try an experiment. From outside she tapped a kitchen window.  The catch fell into place. Locking the window from outside and making it impossible to use to gain access into WHF from.

The police were contacted.

Well in my opinion that does not seem to be the actions of a guilty man? I'm more inclined to believe that a guilty man would hold tight onto the keys to WHF and let no one else in, in fear of them nosing around and finding something? A guilty man in my opinion would rather choose to be the first to enter the house and make double sure to clear up anything that might be remotely connect him to the crime?
But this is not what happened is it. Rather he allowed the keys to be given to the relatives which of course effectively gave them free range over the house to discover what he had allegedly hidden?
Very strange actions for a guilty man in my opinion?

[lookout]

I second that Mr G. Jeremy certainly wasn't overly concerned as to who entered the farmhouse,which to my mind wasn't either a trait of a greedy person either who'd want everything for themselves,whatever was around. He'd have been quite at liberty in saying," if you don't mind,I'd rather you didn't ".

Grahame, I hear what you're saying but it sounds as if you're telling us what YOU would do if YOU were guilty. I can go with all that double checking, I'd probably do the same, BUT supposing you were of the mindset that because you'd crossed all the T's and dotted all the I's, NOTHING could go wrong? What, of course, is patently wrong with this is that you could only deal with what YOU regarded as being important because you have NO idea what others might see as being important.

There was always the chance that someone may have beaten him to it,without his knowledge. At the same time,after the deceased had been moved,he could have even stayed at WHF on the pretext that it might be burgled.That way he could have gone over everything with a fine tooth-comb.
After all,it's alleged that he committed the murders and for that you've got to have a mind of steel,so staying while empty of occupants isn't going to bother anyone,least of all a killer.

Lookout, just HOW likely, on a scale of 1 to 10, do you believe that to be? He COULD have done many things, but what you put forward are YOUR uncertainties. They weren't his, therefore he didn't feel the need.

So if he didn't feel the need,his conscience was clear.
