But no one has PROVED that call did not happen.
It could have happened.
He never mentioned any shots or anyone being injured at the time.
Considering the amount of discussion about was the phone off the hook. Did he make another call. Would it have been engaged? Did JB pick up the phone at the other end ? Did his answer machine register it? how could the police listen in? Could they have traced the call at all? What records would have been kept by BT etc etc etc
Then because of all the talk about the above he must have been very clever to work out EXACTLY what would happen - and when it boils down to it if the police had gone straight in then it would have been obvious the crime had been committed a few hours before and therefore he would have had no alibi.
How is there a realistic possibility the phone call happened?
1) Julie stated that Jeremy planned in advance to say he received a phone call from WHF to provide himself with an alibi and admitted he was responsible for the murders and framed Sheila.
2) Julie's claims are supported by evidence including evidence that proves Sheila didn't load the gun and wield it so why would would Nevill call Jeremy to claim she did so let alone call to claim she did so and ask Jeremy to come help?
3) Even if she had the gun it would make no sense to call Jeremy. There would be only 2 reasons to call Jeremy- 1) if Jeremy had a better rapport with Sheila than Nevill did and thus to ask Jeremy to come help calm her down or 2) if Sheila were too strong for Nevill to overpower but Jeremy was strong enough to do so and thus he would ask Jeremy for help. Neither of these are the case.
4) If Nevill were too scared to disarm Sheila by hand why would he call his son to ask his son to also be in harms way? Moreover, if scared to do so by hand then he could have used one of the multitude of weapons available to confront her. The kitchen was loaded with knives, guns and less lethal weapons to choose from and if he had access to the phone then he would have the ability to access those weapons.
5) It is neither realistic that June would stay in bed through the commotion nor that Nevill would be left alone in the kitchen by Sheila where he could access the phone and weapons.
6) There is no realistic way Nevill would have gotten to the phone prior to any shooting. It is quite clear that the initial shooting that took place was in the bedroom against the parents. The suggestion by various supporters during the course of the appeal that the first victims were the boys and then the parents woke up and were attacked is not credible. That would mean the gun had only 2 bullets left and Sheila would have been overpowered before she could load again had that been the case. Nor is it credible that Sheila would take the phone from his hand and hand it up then immediately take it back off the hook and march him upstairs so she could shoot him. She would have shot him upon finding him on the phone. It is very clear the killer went in the master bedroom and shot both parents killing June but not Nevill. After the gun was empty either Nevill fled to the kitchen with the killer in pursuit or the killer fled to the kitchen with Nevill in pursuit. They struggled in the kitchen, Nevill was beaten unconscious then the killer reloaded and killed him. The killer reloaded fully then killed the boys and Sheila and the gun was empty. There was no occasion for a phone call.
7) Other evidence establishes Jeremy tried to frame his sister. He tried to frame her with the phony story about leaving the gun and bullets out (which he clearly staged because he left too many bullets out for his story to be true), by lying to the initial responders telling them she was proficient with all the guns in the house, and other similar lies including telling Colin that the family was forcing Sheila to give up custody of the boys. He even lied about calling police before Julie which is very damning because had he actually received the call claimed he would have either rushed over or called 999. Knowing this he lied and said he called police right away but in fact he called Julie before police.
It is his word alone that a call was made and there is no reason at all to believe his word in light of all the above evidence. The notion that a third party got Nevill to call Jeremy and finger Sheila is absurd. If Sheila didn't kill everyone then the call was clearly made up and Jeremy was the killer.
