The meeting with The Sun newspaper:
« on: May 06, 2015, 04:54:AM »
It's no secret Jeremy liked to lavish money on himself.

Spending way beyond his means and always asking his parents for more money.

He owed Neville £2,000p which Neville was unlikely to ever see. If Neville had told Jeremy he had to attend bible classes with June to repay the debt,  that would have really upset him.

Even when he obtained money, it quickly went. The caravan break in money being spent quickly on slap up meals and drink ups.

Straight after the massacre was no different. Oblivious to the fact that the police and relatives were investigating other avenues, money  was quickly spent. At least £6,000 partying and drug buying in Amsterdam. Then more partying at Burnham, London, Eastbourne and St Tropez followed. Even the funeral had champagne on tap.

A lot of the immediately available cash was being used up. Selling off the valuable items inside WHF and finalising the will was still a long way off.  However another option was available.

Jeremy offered pictures of his dead sister to The Sun. Knowing The Sun was a popular newspaper which would publish lewd pictures, and also had some financial muscle, he set out his spiel.

He wanted good money, quickly and in cash. The pictures were very sexy and suggestive and he also had other pictures of other family members. He also offered his life story, something he would offer again to the NOTW.

Michael Fielder says Jeremy and Brett were giggling like a couple of school children, making more innuendo's than a Carry On film.

Even The Sun were appalled. Rejecting the offer and publishing the distasteful episode on their front pages. Which would have made the police even more suspicious.

Are there any other instances where someone connected to an appalling crime have tried to cash in straight away ?

Do people agree this sealed his fate ? As the narrator of the new video said. It is true this put him in a worse light, but there is no mention of it being brought up at trial, so did not effect the juries decision.

Sef Gonzales the days after he killed his family paid a visit to the family accountant to see how much he was worth and put a deposit down on a new Lexus.

This one guy in America similar to Bamber's age killed his entire family for the family fortune then visited the lawyer to see how much he was worth only to find in his dads will he couldn't get the money till he was 35! then he went ballistic and shouted abuse, That's what got the investigation rolling aginst him.

Brian Blackwell Killed his parents then went on a £30,000 holiday

There are tones of cases specially in America when it involves life insurance.

I would take anything a Sun reporter said with a very large pinch of salt. Especially in those days and with such a sensational case.

Those type of rag mags make up things all he time to this day, so ditto.
I find it hard to believe that they didn´t buy the pictures - or at least arranged to have a look at them. According to Colin, the press were relentless and overstepped every possible bondaries possible in the pursuit of a story in connection to this case, it was a huge thing in the media. Colin had to go into hiding.
NOTW had no problem posting semi-nude photos of Julie M featuring an article about the tragic case.

Do you think The Sun made up the story and put it on their front page ? More importantly do you have proof ?

Michael Fielder must also be lying in the video.

It is believable that Jeremy approached The Sun. He was spending heavily after the massacre, instructed BW to increase his wages and didn't want to slow down.

It was a high profile case, which the media were interested in. There was the potential to get a lot of ready cash to keep him going until the inheritance.

He was probably not expecting a knock back, and certainly not expecting The Sun to grass on him.

If he could rob the caravan site, he would have not felt much remorse about selling pictures and giving his life story.

That newspaper told a pack of lies about Hillsborough,so what's to stop them from continuing ? It told lies about the McCanns and also hacked their phone.
This gutter newspaper will say anything to draw in people like you who believe everything which the press has to report.

It was either Brett or Jeremy. Or both deciding together.

Brett knew someone who worked for The Sun.

I didn't believe this when I thought Bamber was innocent and even recently, I questioned it. However, after watching the docu, I have to say that I think it's more than likely true. I did once ask Jeremy about this and he declined to answer. He tends to pick and choose what he replies to!

He declined to answer. Oh dear.

There is no reason for Fielding to lie in a documentary 20 years later.
