In trying to rustle up anything that points towards guilt. A SUDDEN change of mind that there was no panic alarm installed,for instance. Is this why nobody believes what the paper said about Neville having been found in the hall ? Alarms are usually by the front door-------for obvious reasons.
Do you think that Neville would have gone around telling everyone there was one installed ? He wouldn't have even told Sheila or Jeremy and this is partly the reason why anyone refuses to imagine that there was such a thing in the house. It goes against the grain of the guilters to have known there was one fitted.
It would have been installed since the threat to the family which Neville and possibly June knew about,but nobody else.
June very likely wrote her" message " in view of this should anything happen. Her note was very telling !!
OK, Lookout. There's this middle aged couple who live in a large and isolated house. He has apparently come under threat from someone to do with his position as a magistrate so the police decide that a personal panic system should be installed. Without checking the property's security, ie, making enquiries about the possibility of there already being a burglar alarm and checking the security of windows and doors -Nevill couldn't have been unaware that Jeremy, and others, had used the windows as a means of entry- they install ONE panic button. Does such TRULY strike you as having the ring of truth? It hardly makes sense to place ONE panic alarm near a door in a house of that size when entry could be achieved in other ways.
I have lived along side a family who were given police protection because of a threat which was taken seriously. There were alarms placed in every room in their house and their children were taken to school and escorted home by police. It's academic whether Nevill would have told Jeremy or others -however, HAD the threat been to the entire family, he and they would have had every right to know as there were children involved- but the more word could have been circulated that there was protection in place, the less likely an attack would be attempted. It's also worth noting that Nevill would have been far more likely to have come under attack whilst he was going about his daily business. I don't recall that this fact was ever mentioned, by EP, that they felt it necessary to guard him 24/7. It also occurs to me that HAD a threat been made against the entire family it would have been a lucky person to have managed an attack at the very time MOST were under the one roof, as it was a rare occurence.
This has NOTHING to do with "trying to rustle up anything that points towards guilt". It's down to plain common sense. I'd also ask you where is there proof of any involvement by SB to protect Nevill, OTHER than Mike's hints about Jeremy's biological background. I note that whilst you challenge me, you accept what he says, without question.
