We don't and we don't even know that Nevill worked for MI5/6 or had ANY association to the other guys who were murdered.

That is entirely possible.
Only a very limited amount of people have the ability to authenticate a claim that someone had served with the SAS - DeStefano may or may not have had that ability.

We know that June did.
By the way it was MI6 not MI5
The fact Neville was in Jerusalem in 1944 makes it very likely he was with MI6
This is based on detailed research i have undertaken.

If DeStefano lied about the SAS guy then of course this theory is built on a fiction.
If he was telling the truth then it is still a possible chain of events ...

Di Stefano! Telling the truth!! Has as much of a ring of probability about it as little green men knocking on your door, to borrow a cup of sugar, within the next 10 minutes.

You might well be right ...

One of Enid Blyton's books Jane.

How I adored "The Famous Five." Just between US, I was desperately in love with Julian.

But Jeremy has not confessed in 30 years and is never getting out.
Therefore in all fairness if anyone from his team makes a claim then it deserves investigating absolutely thoroughly - however unlikely that claim may at first appear ...

It doesn't need a psychologist to work out that Jeremy's position is likely to be much more secure -and indeed comfortable- whilst he maintains his innocence. It also doesn't require all -ANY- members of his team to believe it, either. It may be no more than an interesting exercise. I DO believe that the quirkier/more improbable the claim, the more interesting it may be to investigate it.

i know many people who have been sent on wild goose chases by people cliaming to be former soldiers former spys former detectives.

He would definately want it to look like Sheila did it ...
He allegedly killed people and made it look like suicide in other murders.

So he wanted to convey that, whilst Sheila, a non gun user, was competent enough to kill her parents and children, she wasn't competent enough -after all that practice- to shoot herself and had to do it twice?

Two good points.

However i have given serious thought to EVERY theory posted on these forums - with the exception of "the little green men from Mars did it " one - however that one did amuse me !

Good point Jane, he wasn't such a good hit man after all, mind you he would be getting on a bit.

It was MI5, it's in CAL's book.

We all make mistakes - whether Sheila, Jeremy or a third party fired the gun someone made an unintentional mistake with the first shot to Sheila not being fatal ...
