Essex Police Interview, Brett Collins...

[Jane]

You never fail to shrug off anything which doesn't involve JB to turn things around surreptitiously pointing a finger at me for something I'm supposed to have said.

Are you now going to insist that you always believed Freddie was a knight in shining armour in Sheila's life. Have the courage of your convictions and own what you say. In this, your early assessment of him may well be closer to the truth than that on Bambertweets. It matters less what you say than that you deny saying it.

[Jane]

They hadn't been " long divorced " at that stage.

You're splitting hairs. The twins were only months old when they separated.

I fail to see how. He was a long divorced ex son in law. The benign Freddie portrayed in Bambertweets is somewhat different from the malign influence you've described him as being.

Its a tactic often used Jane,  to change the focus away from Jeremy and to put the blame on others.  Colin might have said those things, who hasn’t about their Ma in law  . But at the end of the day Colin has been honest Bamber hasn’t, Colin doesn’t contradict himself like Bamber and pretend now he loved her.

although the letter was never read by Nevill. It does give us a snapshot of what was going on in Colins mind and the situation regarding the twins.

It tells us that Colin resented the interference of the Bambers and would never have countenanced any permanent arrangement which afforded them greater control. He may well have been in two minds himself, given that there was a possibility they might have been in line for an inheritance from them some day.

The twins were over 1 year old when they divorced having only been married for 3 years.

[Jane]

The twins were over 1 year old when they divorced having only been married for 3 years.

Which means, as the twins were 6, they'd been divorced for several years."Long divorced" wasn't an over exaggeration.

I don't think I ever saw Freddie as a " knight ". Even the twins didn't like him.

But Sheila did -albeit it was yet another dysfunctional relationship for her- and he was there when she had her last breakdown. Whether he supplied the drugs you maintain to have been the causation of her problems is up for debate.

Well she was getting cocaine from somewhere and he was the likeliest candidate for her supply.

[lookout]

I didn't like the sound of the massage for the old man---------eeeuuuwww,made me feel sick.

[lookout]

Imagine if June had found out about that.

Which means he's not a lily white as Bambertweets would paint him?

I didn't think so.
