submit questions for the Essex Police Challenge

If Jeremy committed the crime do you think he would have hade a better chance of getting away with it if he just left WHF didn't call anyone, then just waited for the farmworkers to discover the bodies?

What farm workers had keys to WHF to discover the bodies ?

Jeremy's WS says he arrived at WHF and went inside at 7.30 in the morning on the massacre day. So he would have been first on the scene after the massacre anyway. Making him a suspect as he would have to contact the police.

That's a possibility but it requires nerves of steel and an ability to completely disassociate himself emotionally from killing his close family.  Is he capable of this?  There's nothing that proves he is but he could be, we have been told all psychological tests show he is not a psychopath, has no personality disorders and is sane.  That is what we're told, we have no proof as far as I know that this isn't true.

No we haven't. This was brought up two days ago.

I asked this back in the day, Keira seemed to think someone was asked who would have been first on scene and that the answer was Jeremy. Can't remember what statement it was from.

One person suggested he leave the front open. Suggesting a burglar or random psychopath committed the massacre.

This has dozens of problems. Two threads created.

It does sound bizarre the prosecution version of events

Why not burn the whole place down after he shoots them all?

Inadvertently,  that's a good point.

In addition to the phone call, leaving the house apparently secure, also made the prospect of anybody else other than Jeremy or Sheila being responsible.

If the murders were for financial gain, it would be somewhat counter productive.

I must have missed the posts but I also said we have no proof as far as I know this isn't true.
Do you know different?

Insurance! Brand new mansion

Insurance! Brand new mansion 

The property was rented.

But I take your point.

Page 5 of Jeremy's WS says he went into the farm house at 7.30 in the morning on the 6th August.

It would have been too suspicious if he drastically changed routine the morning after the massacre. Waiting hours for someone else to find the bodies.

His best bet would be to manipulate his schizophrenic sister into actually doing it.

No! Which is is why I am not saying we've been told he is / isn't a physcopath!!

Or coming up with a plan to frame her for doing so.

Julie said he considered this. But there were valuable items which had been under insured. Someone might spot the fire and it may get stopped before the evidence has been destroyed. It was a big house and would be hard to burn down.
