This is mainly for Adam but also anyone else who is interested :
The guy at various times offered these "hitmen" between 150,000 pounds and 250,000 pounds.
Because he was broke he could only offer a 500 pound down payment.
The main payment was to be after he had received his victims money ...
I have always said that this is normal in this this type of hitman situation ...
The person normally wants someone killed because they are short of money ...
And who would be stupid enough to try avoiding paying the hitman after the hit ?
In essence it is normal for hitmen to give "credit" until the loot has been secured ...
The fact Jeremy did not have large amounts of money did not preclude him from hiring a hitman Adam ...
I hope you can accept this mate ...
Maybe the alleged 2,000 pounds was a down payment like this guys 500 pounds was ?
I always said no one would kill a family for 2,000 pounds ...
But as a down payment ? now that is possible ...
As an added point i watched an interesting program on the 1974 cambridge rapist last night ...
His name turned out to be Peter Cook.
The Police repeatedly questioned him as a potential suspect ...
They ruled him out because as one officer said "he had an unshakeable alibi for the night of one of the rapes" ...
His earlier "alibi" was more than shook when he got caught red handed soon after ...
What exactly was Malcom's "unshakeable alibi" ?
No one on this forum seems to have a clue about his alibi ...
But all seem to accept it without question ...
Is it possible that everything Jeremy told Julie was true ?
To me there seems credible evidence (WPC Jeaves) that someone might have been alive in the house when Jeremy was outside ...
If he is innocent the we definitely need to know that ...
If he did in fact employ a hitman then we definitely need to know who it was ...
And i hope we can at least all agree on the correctness of the last 2 sentences !!
