Brett Collins broke his silence for the first time in over three decades

Not for the first time in five years then?

“The idea that his sister would shoot the family, put the silencer away in the cupboard, and then shoot herself is just crazy.”

Seems he has been influenced by info outside his own experience.

The point was that Jeremy didn't continue to mention it until he realized others were falling for it.

So he has had 35 years to come out with this

The JB gravy train

Brett Collins allegedly is as ‘honest’ as Mugford

Has Brett Collins ever been involved in any illegal practices ?
What’s his financial position now and was he paid for ‘the’ interview?

It's really interesting to see him now! He said at the time that Jeremy wouldn't have the guts to kill his family, or words to that effect. He has provided an insight into Jeremy's character though.

I will rubbish anyone that gets paid to give a completely different character assassination when there is no money involved.

Of course Julie will speak up now, how bad does she come across in the drama

You know and I know she should NEVER had been allowed to work with children

Do you think Julie should have been allowed to work with children?

Let’s have a little bet and see if Brett Collins got paid for his interview

I worked with Jeremy many years ago and I got to know him very well through this job. To me he spoke about farming a lot and seemed to enjoy it and wanted to develop the way that the farm worked, he wanted to use new technology at the time to further the business. To be truthful I think this work was just light relief for him, never did I think that he took it seriously or preferred it to farming. He was never flash with money but was hardly ever short of it.
I spent time with him at his cottage in Goldhanger, he was the sort of person who always had time for me, and I visited White House Farm and met his family a couple of times. I also met Julie a few times but never understood why Jeremy was going with her as I

thought of her as a sly and moody woman. She seemed inadequate as well as insecure and the pair were badly suited in my view. Never did Jeremy come across as angry in my presence and never did he speak badly of any person especially his parents and always seemed very appreciative of what they had done for him.
I was reeling with shock from what had happened at White House Farm and none of it made sense. I came to question myself about whether I really knew Jeremy because of the things said about him by other people, my gut instincts were that he hadn’t committed the murders and the way I had felt about Julie always remained the same and was compounded by her media interviews. The reports in the press seemed so overwhelming at the time. People felt afraid to stand up for Jeremy fearing such association would blacken their character but I knew a number of people who held the same beliefs as myself but did nothing.

I didn’t contact Jeremy again until many years later, I found him welcoming and I enjoyed the same warmth of character in his letters. I feel regret that I turned my back for so many years and this testimony is my way of saying I’m sorry Jeremy I should have spoken for you sooner. I know you are innocent and always did.

I would like to speak to Timothy Ernest. Your Jeremy has made a mistake, a fatal mistake which may have been out of character but which nevertheless has caused decades of heartache, grief and unhappiness for several individuals affected by his diabolical actions one August morning in 1985. This anguish is being sustained on a daily basis by Jeremy refusing to confront what he has done.

On a personal note I do think that victims of any form of abuse should be believed and it's desperately sad that he was raped as a teenager, if true.

I don't think anyone has had decades of heartache, grief, and unhappiness, except perhaps Colin. That wouldn't change even if Jeremy confessed. All the others have got on with their lives. I must say that hardly anyone connected with this business appeared to have much in the way of feelings of grief, or any kind of feelings at all really.

How about the pain Julie has caused by her lies. Her threats to Jeremy she wanted him dead. Her desperate unhinged behaviour.

Keep up with the low blows because it makes you sound pathetic.

I have spoken to people who worked with Jeremy and went to school with Jeremy and formed my own opinion on the case.  Go running back to your Julie and tell her that I was not fooled by her lies for a second and it’s her own fault if she has been worried for the last 35 years of her signed NOW deal coming into the public domain

Well I hope Colin has got on with his life too. Ann Eaton's children were reported to have had nightmares, even if the relatives themselves weren't affected, which is really only speculation.

Mmm, the gravy train is lengthening I see.

" Grabbing handfuls of money ?". JB already had a couple of thousand in his bank. There was an untouched wallet and handbags which remained at WHF until they were removed " for safe keeping " and a safe that hadn't previously been opened until the relatives arrived at the farmhouse.

This is another character with a less than squeaky-clean background looking to swell the coffers of his retirement fund.

Maybe the CT have a recording of Sheila's 999 call.

Thought the rifle by the window was photographed after the raid team had entered WHF. Probably the murder weapon which had been taken off Sheila when the bodies were moved. Or another weapon.

Ann Eaton's children went to live at White House Farm with their parents, and that's not Jeremy's fault. I don't think having nightmares as a kid causes you decades of grief.

The alleged rifle at the window was supposedly in the small box room between the main bedroom and the twins' room, as reported by Julia Jeapes.

The alleged movement in a window is confusing. One minute it's in that box room, and the next  it's in the main bedroom.

Jeremy has been bamboozled yet again by another nasty piece of work. If it hadn't been for this scoundrel, JB would not have been weighing up what to sell at auctions because he wouldn't have had a clue. JB has been the fall guy for most in this case and it's truly despicable the way he's been treated.

It's getting rather too obvious now after all these years that everyone is suddenly jumping on the money-making bandwagon----on the backs of 5 murdered people !!

It’s almost unbelievable. I could expect it of Brett Collins but was shocked by Colin but he was hardly known for his integrity

Julie Mugford and Brett Collins were two of the closest people to Jeremy, need I say more.

Julie Mugford will now be on a damage limitation exercise if the drama is available in Canada. I expect some  people she worked with didn’t have a clue.

Yes but John Hayward's assertion that "there was a lot of blood in the silencer" suggests the notion the Defence floated at trial of Robert Boutflour putting droplets of blood in a silencer via a finger was a non-starter.

Jeremy liked to provoke a reaction, possibly due to the feeling that his parents were remote emotionally. There's an anecdote in Clare Powell's book of him using Julie to sweet-talk a man at a party, whereupon the former sprang out from some hidey-hole and confronted the couple. It's why he enjoyed the murder of his parents, why he enjoyed the attention of Brett, and why now he basks in the glory of his notoriety, influencing periodically the newbies and the diehard supporters alike as they suggest this or that future strategy, whilst knowing all along he will be incarcerated justly for his crimes for the remainder of his natural life.

She doted on him for the most part, acted as ersatz mother and confidante, did his laundry and decorated the house. Yet there was an incident in a supermarket regarding a bar of soap, so she could answer back at times.

Regarding Christmas 1982- this is not the paragraph I was looking for but does confirm Colin had stayed at White House Farm before:

All of a sudden, Ann broke into our thoughts and came in. She said they had thought it better to put the room back the way Bambs had it. Rather than leave it empty, after the twins' beds had been removed, they brought Bambs's old bed back in. "Have you seen this?" asked Ann, pointing out some words scratched into what looked like new paint on the wardrobe door. "I HATE THIS PLACE," it said. I then remembered the police asking me about it, but on seeing those words I felt as if I had seen them before, in the last year or so-probably when I stayed at Christmas, although I couldn't be absolutely sure. I guess Bambs must have written it out of frustration on one of her earlier, more anguished visits. It seemed sad but now quite unimportant.

Sheila

If Sheila did it, why did Nevill call Jeremy and not 999
If Nevill called Jeremy, and said 'Sheila has gone beserk' or 'Sheila has gone crazy' then that would suggest she hadn't yet shot anybody, otherwise the most likely words would be 'She's shot your mother, or shot me'
If she hadn't yet shot Nevill, it doesn't stack up with the evidence.

If Sheila did it, how did the bible have a mirrored pattern on blood on the inside pages (as occurs when a page is closed whilst wet, to create a mirror pattern. The bible was open, suggesting blood had been spilled, the bible closed, then opened again?

If Sheila did it, why was there such little blood evidence on her? Do you believe the ritual cleansing?

If Sheila did it, why choose to commit suicide in her parents room, rather than alone or with the twins?

If Sheila had gone berserk, why no gunshots at random objects as you might expect from a person out of control? - instead the killings were quite deliberate and execution style. Surely 'gone beserk' would imply some shouting and disturbance.

Either she went crazy with a gun, yet miraculously landed almost every shot only at people, and at close range, OR she was executing them, and was disturbed - in which case, Nevill  surely would have phoned 999 and said 'she's killed someone'

I will explain one thing for you Steve there would have been one thing that would have devastated Sheila more than any else and it would have been Colin’s behaviour towards her. He showed on a number of occasions he did not care about her feelings. Sheila thought she was going to have her own proper little family but Colin had others ideas. It is bad enough for a women to cope with one new baby let alone two.  You make sure when discussing Sheila you make it clear Colin had a big part in Sheila anguish. He knew how delicate Sheila was and he let her down.

Jackie how many witnesses are you and the Campaign Team going to rubbish before the shocking truth finally sinks in: Brett Collins, Colin Caffell, Julie Smerchanski, Ann Eaton, Robert Boutflour, Liz Rimington, James Richards..

Brett Collins is not a witness.  He was a friend and supporter of JB in the period to the end of the trial.  His conduct and comments at the time did not give any indication that he believed JB to be guilty.  He lost contact with JB and has now surfaced as a result of the ITV drama.  No doubt he has been tempted with prospect of making a bit of money.  Whether he initiated press contact or was tracked down does not matter.  What he has said has no bearing on the question of JB's guilt or innocence.  Perhaps he finds it easier now to adopt a guilty stance to avoid the suggestion that he abandoned his friend to his fate when there was no longer any money in it for him.

It is significant that he does not mention the meeting with the Sun journalist.

Colin did seek medical treatment for Sheila but Nevill was set on St. Andrew's, Northampton, where his wife had been previously treated. I think one point on which we both could agree is that if one person is throwing objects around the house and will not respond to reason it's better for the spouse to leave the marital home. Colin's sexual antics have been exaggerated anyway: he always loved Sheila and turned out to be her best friend in the short life she experienced, but she was ill and needed the medical treatment which was beyond Colin's wherewithal to furnish.

Again

One for you Steve

No money involved


Timothy Ernest
 
I worked with Jeremy many years ago and I got to know him very well through this job. To me he spoke about farming a lot and seemed to enjoy it and wanted to develop the way that the farm worked, he wanted to use new technology at the time to further the business. To be truthful I think this work was just light relief for him, never did I think that he took it seriously or preferred it to farming. He was never flash with money but was hardly ever short of it.
I spent time with him at his cottage in Goldhanger, he was the sort of person who always had time for me, and I visited White House Farm and met his family a couple of times. I also met Julie a few times but never understood why Jeremy was going with her as I

thought of her as a sly and moody woman. She seemed inadequate as well as insecure and the pair were badly suited in my view. Never did Jeremy come across as angry in my presence and never did he speak badly of any person especially his parents and always seemed very appreciative of what they had done for him.
I was reeling with shock from what had happened at White House Farm and none of it made sense. I came to question myself about whether I really knew Jeremy because of the things said about him by other people, my gut instincts were that he hadn’t committed the murders and the way I had felt about Julie always remained the same and was compounded by her media interviews. The reports in the press seemed so overwhelming at the time. People felt afraid to stand up for Jeremy fearing such association would blacken their character but I knew a number of people who held the same beliefs as myself but did nothing.

I didn’t contact Jeremy again until many years later, I found him welcoming and I enjoyed the same warmth of character in his letters. I feel regret that I turned my back for so many years and this testimony is my way of saying I’m sorry Jeremy I should have spoken for you sooner. I know you are innocent and always did.

I have thought for long enough now whether there is indeed something going on in the background and knowing what happened in the McCann case where a crooked solicitor was touting for money from " non-supporters " of the McCanns----to the tune of £50,000 in order to pay for Amaral's court costs etc when he'd been accused of writing his " book of lies ".
For all any of us know the same collection could be going on to block any forthcoming appeals----if the price is right. There's something fishy ahead since the guilters have increased their discussion a few notches.  Authors and so-called witnesses are swarming in like flies.

Looking back, it only took an outsider ( relative ) to complain about JB's prison category to be increased again after it had been reduced, so anything goes, seemingly.

I am not sure.  I am not any longer in the loop as far as a further appeal is concerned.  I am sure things are happening but I am not able to form a view on how far the legal team have got and whether a fresh set of submissions to the CCRC are imminent.  All that has been said publicly as far as I am aware is that legal proceedings are underway to compel disclosure of additional documents.

I am not aware of any recent interview with Julie Mugford.  Has there been one?

We have gone over this a thousand times.
1) Jeremy obviously did not realise how serious things were and
2) the Bambers liked to keep Sheila’s illness hush hush
Jeremy obviously thought ringing the local police might be more discreet

You haven't read the questions properly. I will rephrase them to aid clarity...

If Sheila was the killer, and she had already shot someone when Nevill called Jeremy:
1) Why did he not phone 999? (it had already gone beyond trying to keep it hush hush)
2) Even if he phoned Jeremy, why didn't he say 'Sheila's shot your mother!'

If Sheila had indeed gone beserk and held the weapon..
3) Why didn't she shoot anything other than people. i.e. why not blast a window, or a wall too as you might expect in a fit of rage?
4) If she had not already killed when Nevill called Jeremy, then surely her 'berserk' behaviour would have disturbed others, yet the evidence suggests not. Any explanation?
5) With the exception of a fight with Nevill, there killings have all the appearances of a quite deliberate close range act, which is at odds with the randomness of a mentally ill young woman going 'berserk'. Why?

How well Jeremy got on with his parents is hardly a central issue in the case.  As far as individuals other than Brett Collins are concerned, they have nothing to do with this thread which is about the Sunday People front page article about Brett Collins.
Don't be silly. The last person who claimed such parameters in debate was Luminous Wanderer and he did make himself appear ridiculous. The fact is that Jeremy Bamber akin to David Bain both refuse to acknowledge the discord in their respective families because of the deluge of hatred this would unleash, leaving the average person in the street fully aware of why the murders occurred in each case.

Leaving aside personal comments why do you think Brett Collins has changed his mind about the guilt of Jeremy Bamber when he probably would have received the same payment for reasserting his innocence?

I made a suggestion about this in an earlier post.  He may feel guilty about not keeping in contact when there was no longer any material benefit in doing so.  Suggesting he believes Jeremy to be guilty provides some excuse for that.   Otherwise, I have no idea.  It is clearly not upon the basis of any new evidence or analysis of the evidence presented at trial.

One for you Steve

No money involved


Timothy Ernest
 
I worked with Jeremy many years ago and I got to know him very well through this job. To me he spoke about farming a lot and seemed to enjoy it and wanted to develop the way that the farm worked, he wanted to use new technology at the time to further the business. To be truthful I think this work was just light relief for him, never did I think that he took it seriously or preferred it to farming. He was never flash with money but was hardly ever short of it.
I spent time with him at his cottage in Goldhanger, he was the sort of person who always had time for me, and I visited White House Farm and met his family a couple of times. I also met Julie a few times but never understood why Jeremy was going with her as I

thought of her as a sly and moody woman. She seemed inadequate as well as insecure and the pair were badly suited in my view. Never did Jeremy come across as angry in my presence and never did he speak badly of any person especially his parents and always seemed very appreciative of what they had done for him.
I was reeling with shock from what had happened at White House Farm and none of it made sense. I came to question myself about whether I really knew Jeremy because of the things said about him by other people, my gut instincts were that he hadn’t committed the murders and the way I had felt about Julie always remained the same and was compounded by her media interviews. The reports in the press seemed so overwhelming at the time. People felt afraid to stand up for Jeremy fearing such association would blacken their character but I knew a number of people who held the same beliefs as myself but did nothing.

I didn’t contact Jeremy again until many years later, I found him welcoming and I enjoyed the same warmth of character in his letters. I feel regret that I turned my back for so many years and this testimony is my way of saying I’m sorry Jeremy I should have spoken for you sooner. I know you are innocent and always did.

People thought Myra Hindley to be an intelligent affable woman.
Ted Bundy was a highly intelligent and extremely charming man.

Killers don't have a tattoo on their head saying 'bad killer inside'.

It doesn't make someone a liar that they found JB to be of sound character, or JM to be of dubious character - that was their own impression. Others found the opposite. Some folks like me, others don't.

The nature of JB relationship with his parents is a factor to the possible motive. We will likely never really know his true feelings towards them, and it may well be a mix of love and hate (as countless young men and women might attest to their own relationships with parents). It's not unusual to hate your parents.

The question isn't 'do kids who hate their parents kill them?' - because we know very well that most don't.
It is more a case of 'does someone who kills their parents, tend to hate them?' and they typically do.

If she had NOT shot someone, yet was going berserk, why did June, and the twins not wake up?

Furthermore, with either option, her 'berserk' behaviour was not particularly random, she shot each at close range, in what could only be described as a fairly controlled and logical manner, whilst not shooting at any other object - which is at odds with 'berserk'

She doted on him for the most part, acted as ersatz mother and confidante, did his laundry and decorated the house. Yet there was an incident in a supermarket regarding a bar of soap, so she could answer back at times.

Regarding Christmas 1982- this is not the paragraph I was looking for but does confirm Colin had stayed at White House Farm before:

All of a sudden, Ann broke into our thoughts and came in. She said they had thought it better to put the room back the way Bambs had it. Rather than leave it empty, after the twins' beds had been removed, they brought Bambs's old bed back in. "Have you seen this?" asked Ann, pointing out some words scratched into what looked like new paint on the wardrobe door. "I HATE THIS PLACE," it said. I then remembered the police asking me about it, but on seeing those words I felt as if I had seen them before, in the last year or so-probably when I stayed at Christmas, although I couldn't be absolutely sure. I guess Bambs must have written it out of frustration on one of her earlier, more anguished visits. It seemed sad but now quite unimportant.

I'm confused. Where were they when this happened?
