Sheila committing suicide

[buddy]

i disagree,after she had a few puffs at night outside its easy to stub the rest out and hide it in the house somewhere even in her shoe or handbag theres lots of places in whf where she could have hidden drugs or joints.i didnt know the bambers never smoked.

A spltff is pretty pungent even after being put out.

thats true,especially skunk weed

[lookout]

I don't think the bambers were smokers, so there would not have been ash trays.
With the Bambers aversion to drugs I don't believe Sheila would take the chance to smoke in the house.
For this reason I find it hard to believe that she would have half a joint ready for the morning.

Nevill smoked cigarettes and possibly the odd cigar at Christmas. Sheila was the cigar smoker,so there would have been ashtrays around.

I, too, have read that Nevill smoked, Sami. In fact, I'm sure there will be a post here somewhere which states that Nevill often finished the evening in the drawing room with a cigarette and a G&T. It may have cropped up when Jeremy was considering burning the place down and blaming a dropped cigarette?

[lookout]

Waiting for a reaction ?

Waiting for a reaction ?

Why, and from whom?

thank you jane,i also read that he didnt go through with the plan of burning the house and blaming neville because of the valuables being burnt

[lookout]

Would he have cared about such material things ?
Wasn't it the relatives who were more bothered about the valuables when JB began selling them to pay towards death duties ?
Why did JB hand the keys over to AE knowing that there were valuables inside to flog ? He literally gave THEM carte blanche to do as THEY liked.

I bet he though it was risky Sami in case any survivors, only wants one and his inheritance is gone or halved, he’s not totally in control of that situation, psychopaths like to be in control Sami.

He wasn't " in control " of his destiny though was he ?

A) The initial idea didn't float his boat.

B) I'd be willing to bet -and IF you could bring yourself to a moment of real truthfulness, you'd probably agree- that not one POUND, of what he received from those things he sold, found it's way to paying death duties. You can bet your life that once the cash was in his hands all pretense at paying death duties went out the window.

C) ANY decent person would have got the family in and told them what his plans were. He didn't need to like any of them more than they liked him. Courtesy -which he'd surely have learned both at school and at home- suggests he could have asked them first if there was anything they'd like as mementos.

D) Are you suggesting they were going to steal items? Wasn't it ALL, at that point -including the stuff Jeremy took and sold- owned by the estate and subject to probate?
