Exactly, I am sure you know how scathing he can be in respect to Colin. He isn't loyal - you have experience of that.Lookout paints him as someone far removed from the person I conversed with.
One point about the interview above (and thanks for posting by the way). If Brett heard part of the conversation where Julie talked about the police, he must have heard more.
I second your thanks to Mike for posting this very interesting document.
And what's more i agree with your point 100% for once Caroline )
I would be very surprised indeed if Brett did not have at least some knowledge at some point.
As has been pointed out in this thread Brett was a good judge of character and relationships between people etc - he was good at reading people and situations - i think his statement backs that view up.
It is interesting that whilst living with Jeremy at Goldhanger from early June until the later part of July that he was also working at the farm with him.
Is the following scenario actually possible ?
Brett met a very naive and easily impressionable Jeremy in New Zealand 3 years or so before the murders.
Brett realised Jeremy's parents were rich and sensed an opportunity.
He became Jeremy's best friend and planted the idea in Jeremy's head.
He might have even told Jeremy that he had killed someone himself in a robbery to get a good mental hold and impress Jeremy.
That would explain Susan Battersby's saying this about Brett in her statement.
Maybe he came over at the beginning of June to have a look and encourage Jeremy more.
Once he had got to know the farm by working there and getting a feel for the place and people he then pushed Jeremy to do it with the promise of them travelling the world together in luxury as soon as it was done.
Maybe Jeremy was thinking how easily Brett had got away with his previous murder and really wanted the high life badly.Maybe he really did not like his family anyway.
Then Brett goes to Mykonos as his alibi before the murders telling Jeremy he will be back as soon as it is done.
Or maybe Brett did fly back for a couple of days and drove him to the farm and back and gave him a hand in the murders ...
As soon as the murders are done Brett is back inseparable from Jeremy, starting to party and travel, starting to sell assets and raise money - until it goes wrong and Jeremy is arrested.
Maybe Brett wanted Jeremy and the money.
He hung about until Jeremy was convicted in case he got off and the Brett vanished.
Maybe Brett's only mistake (blinded by love ?) was as he was trying to impress and get control of Jeremy by telling him about his previous robbery/murder he did not think that Jeremy would do the same to Julie for the same reasons - for example telling Julie about Brett's previous robbery/murder and his own murder plans to impress and gain control of her because of his desire for her and his desire to gain control over her ?
Maybe Brett just didn't account for just how deeply Jeremy desired women.
What did Brett know ? and when ?
