She named Macdonald as the killer.
Not quite. JM told three very different stories.
First, JM behaved as though Sheila was the killer. JM was then clearly delighted to be Jeremy's girlfriend, going on holiday, out for meals and out drinking with him, with no qualms whatosever.
Only after she was jilted by Jeremy did JM name McDonald as the killer, claiming that he was Jeremy's hitman.
Later, when that proved to be untrue because Mathew McDonald had a water tight alibi, JM changed her mind yet again.
JM then told the Daily Mirror, "I sincerely believe" that Jeremy killed his family. JM said much the same to the News of the World", who paid her £25,000 for her story - once the police had given her immunity from prosecution.
Yes i also find it strange how woman can be attracted to mass murderers, i think thats what you're hinting at?
I don't think 'woman' is attracted to mass murderers per se!
JM was perfectly happy with Jeremy until he ditched her and then she exacted her revenge.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not privy to any of their conversations at the time. Yes JM may well have decided to go with the flow, keep stum.
Or, she was struggling with her conscience, with the break up the final straw.
We don't know, and can only guess.
JM's concience didn't stuggle one iota while she was holidaying in the best hotels in Amersterdam and elsewhere with Jeremy.
It didn't struggle when she was out wining and dining with him.
It didn't bat an eyelid when he gave her the money for designer clothes.
It didn't give her a moment's grief when, before they broke up she accepted £400 from him - yet if JM really believed Jeremy was a killer or hirer of a hitman she would surely have considered that blood money, wouldn't she?
The evidence of JM's actions as opposed to her claims suggests that JM was happy as Larry to live the high life with jeremy and hadn't a qualm...until he jilted her.
You have had some really good posts on this thread, chocho! +1
I would like to add that Julie had no problem visiting Colin Caffell with Jeremy. Colin, the devastated and grieving father.
She had no problem identifying the supposed victims of her lover´s brutal slayings! Not at all... she volunteered!
She had no problem attending the funerals of all of the victims - and no problem with that Sheila didn´t get the service she deserved if she was only a victim! To my understanding, Sheila got very few words from the minister before being laid to rest. No, no problem: Julie was there comforting the alleged killer!
Julie Mugford had no problem that Sheila and her sons were buried far away from each other, because Sheila was the alleged killer.
No matter how you look at this case, Julie Mugford is a... hmm, strange woman and comes out of it looking very, very bad! Can´t blame her for fleeing to Australia, then Canada!
