Sorry Lookout, when someone tells me they feel pissed off!!! because allegedly their panicked father has rung them in the middle of the night to say that their sister has gone mad, she has got hold of a gun so will they please come quickly, they then proceed to diddle away time by looking up local police numbers and call their girlfriend to tell her that something is wrong at the farm but everything is going well, I find myself feeling very short of empathy.
As for his being scared. He wasn't a child. He hadn't just come out of a monastery. He'd travelled the world. He'd been mixed up in one or two shady dealings like drugs and break in and entry. He more than knew which way was up. ALL he had to do was call 999, which required no effort, no struggling to find phone numbers in the middle of the night, and he'd have fulfilled his responsibility to his father. He chose not to and NOWHERE have I seen it written that he ever expressed any remorse for not having acted faster.
I don't think he took much notice of the family,April,so wouldn't have known what went on from one week to the next,therefore because of his lack of interest,which it was,he was more interested in social life and women,he wouldn't have known in-depth how ill both women were and he had always been so reliant on his family doing everything so that night was no different in that he'd expected his father to do all the phoning,etc,which Neville did btw,as his call was written on the back of the same record that Jeremy had made previously because there had been a PTO on the bottom right hand side of the page.
The letter has been found. Apparently it's part of what the Met have got which had been in Taff's possession. The other part is under PII.
It looks very much like part of a suicide note from Sheila and must have been written on the night of the tragedy.
It's headed " handwritten note kept by DCI " Taff " Jones.
