June had only recently bought the bike.

June had bought it for herself.

Bamber could afford to buy his own second hand bike.

June and Bamber were not talking to each other. Multiple sources online.

Bike arrived 2 days before the massacre.

Reason given for bike of Julie cycling home not valid.

Julie testified Bamber planned to cycle The Sea Wall.

Bamber said relationship with Julie coming to a close. No reason to get a bike.

Driving or walking to WHF not credible options.

June likely to tell Bamber to buy his own bike even if they were speaking.

Bike easy to steal as Bamber
worked at WHF.

No point Bamber buying a bike just for 30-40 minutes of cycling on one night.

The bike arriving just before the massacre gives June less time to notice and investigate.

Bamber had committed previous crimes against his family.

June would tell Bamber to drive Julie or pay for a taxi.

Bamber had a car so could easily transfer the bike.

No other bikes available for him free of charge. 

Nevill did not have a bike.

No record of Julie or Bamber  using the bike after it arrived at Head Street.

The bike was perfectly acceptable for the job.

Mountain bikes were decades away.

To be given now.
Lucky that June didn't report her bike stolen to the police Adam,else Bamber may have been arrested for theft before he could carry out the shooting.

Infact its lucky that Julie didn't inadvertently mention the bike being at JBs cottage,after all,it wasn't hidden away was it?
According to you Adam the bike was akin to a stolen get away vehicle,so why didn't Bamber tell Julie not to mention the fact that it was at his cottage? Apparently Julie didn't even ask JB why the bike was at his cottage,did she?

Why didn't JB say to Julie,'I have stolen my mothers bike because it will form an important part of my plan to murder my family,so for christ sake dont tell her its here,ok?' No such conversation according to Julie.
You have got to think the whole scenario through about the so called 'theft' of the bike Adam.
As Bubo says,simply claiming that JB 'stole' June's bike is unfounded and doesn't stand up very well,does it?

Doubtful June would report the bike had been stolen. If she had noticed that weekend. 

It was a second hand bike and not valuable. Not an essential item and any robber would be long gone.

However correct for Bamber to take no chances & get the bike very shortly beforehand.

Lucky for Bamber that June bought a bike in the first place Adam,couldn't have been through advisement from Bamber however, he had no contact with her according to you.

How ironic that June bought a bike which would be used soon after in the execution of her execution.
 
You couldn't make it up.Could you???

Will have to investigate when June bought the bike.

Bamber would have bought his own bike if June didn't have one. Maybe weeks beforehand.

Allegedly, June bought the bike -second hand?- to make her village rounds easier. She is said not to have liked it. It's not beyond the realms of belief to suggest that JB asked If He could have it for Julie. As Julie didn't enjoy a warm and close relationship with June she'd have been very unlikely to have thanked June.
Title: Re: Confirmation June's bike was stolen.

Well,Adam calls this topic  'confirmation that June's bike was stolen' Jane,and claims over and over again that JB and June were not on speaking terms at the time.
Title: Re: Confirmation June's bike was stolen.
Post by: snow66! on June 28, 2023, 09:16:PM
And you are quite right Adam,just when did JB decide to carry out the crime using a bike and did this just happen to coincide with June buying her bike?

When did he tell Julie that he intended to use a bike? How did he know when Sheila and the boys would be visiting? Just when did he intend to buy the bike in preparation?
You are right,we need to know when June bought the bike and also when Bamber told Julie of his plan to use a bike in the execution of the murders.

Then see what it all suggests?

OK,this is what Julie said in her statement ----- 'about June 1985''---'He said that he would use a cycle to do it and would do a trial run to see how long it would take.He thought it would take about 15 minutes one way'

So,according to Julie he had decided to use a bike by June.

Now when did June buy her bike?

Does not matter when she bought it.

He could buy his own bike if need be.

Borrowed or buying a bike doesn't prove guilt.

If he had had his own bike bought by his own money at his cottage the prosecution would have used it as a prosecution narrative

It would be good to get dates of -

When June bought the bike.

When Bamber found out Sheila & the twins were staying.

Probably similar times.

Apparently a neighour of Jeremy Bamber said " his car was outside his house all night "

In the theroux documentary, David Kennedy the next door neighbour of Bamber basically says " I was his neighbour at the time " then discusses about cycle routes.

He doesn't confirm he saw Bambers car there All night, so I surmise it must have been another neighbour

Suspect Bamber would not buy a bike until Sheila & the twins were at WHF.

Always a chance a trip will be cancelled with Sheila & two 6 year olds involved.

But he did not need to buy a bike.

The former it depends on which way you look at it.

The latter. It all depends. She was his sister. Whether from nevill, whether overhearing June speaking to nevill. Or Shelia herself. ( I look at it from your stance of June and Bamber mute with one another at all times )

Did Colin and Jeremy have a close relationship post Shelia and Colin's divorce, meet for a drink? Speak on the telephone? Any social activity of any kind?

Colin invited him to the party

Now the key here may be trial run.
If the bike just appeared at JBs house a few days before the murders,wasn't the oppertunity to carry out a tril run limited? Especially in the busy harvest period? And as ILB has already pointed out which route could he possibly have done in fifteen minutes? Not the sea wall surely?

By Julie's own admission Bamber came to stay with her some weekenights it's in her statment. Apparently this was regular

He of course could have took any " luggage" back to Julie in his car when on these journeys

Cycling The Sea Wall was very possible. Cycling at an above average pace.

Wilkinson cycled at a very slow pace.

Wilkinson only cut his 70 minute walk time by 50%. So was going at a very slow pace.

Cycling 4.2 miles at an average pace is going at a similar speed as Olympic 1500 metre runners.

So you would definately cut down Wilkinson's 70 minutes walking time by over 50%.

They run fast.

Post by: snow66! on June 28, 2023, 11:41:PM
OK,June bought her bike from a man in Maldon in mid july.
So let us put it all together.Bamber told Julie in june that he hoped that Sheila and the twins would visit the farm soon,SOON! And he had decided to use a bike in the execution of the crime and would do a trial run.

Surely this would mean getting hold of a bike ASAP to carry out the trial run and have the bike revved up ready to go,he said himself that he hoped Sheila would visit soon.So with harvest fast approaching when any spare time would be limited ,surely Bamber would have seen about getting hold of a bike there and then in preparation?

The school holidays would have started long before July,so Sheila could have appeared with the boys at any time.

Yet,here's the thing Bamber did not purchase a bike in june after deciding to use one in the shooting, nor in the first half of july,now keep in mind that Sheila could have arrived with the boys at short notice at any time and the harvest was starting,yet no bike had been purchased yet roughly a month after Bamber had decided to use one.

Then,low and behold June just happens to buy a bike in the nick of time,so Bamber decides he wont need to.
But lets just think about this for a minute,June buys the bike for her own use,so why does Bamber think he can just take it? Why would he imagine that he can just take it away,do a trial run and then use it to carry out the crime? What if June simply loved using the bike and used it every day without fail,how could JB steal it from her? Or even ask her to let Julie use it?

No way could Bamber count on using Junes bike,there is no way he could have known that she would not take to it and abandon it to be pinched or loaned even to Julie. And keep in mind,the bike was only purchased three weeks before the murders anyway.

Maybe I am not making my point very clear,but just look at it this way,the prosecution wants you to believe that Bamber decided in june 1985 to use a bike to carry out the murders,yet did not purchase one.However in mid july his mum just happened to by a bike albeit a ladies bike and Bamber decided that he would somehow manage to obtain IT,to use in the crime.And luckily for Bamber,June did not take to the bike and he was free,albeit at the very last minute to either pinch the bike from under  June's nose or ask her for a loan of it,JUST as Sheila and the boys are arriving at the farm.PHEW! Thats cutting it a bit fine isn't it?

Now you could argue that Bamber put off buying a bike in june or sometime before when he decided one would be needed because there was word of June buying a bike,but why would he gamble on this? June may have even changed her mind or if she did buy one take to it like a duck to water as said.

No,I think common sense tells us that as soon as Bamber decided to use a bike he would have bought one,and not waited on the off chance that June would buy one and disowen it soon after.
Poppycock! Just think the time line through from the first alleged mention of a bike by Bamber sometime in june until he finally got his hands on one just DAYS before the murders.

Obviously there will be reasons why.

The word here is 'hoped' they would visit.

No point Bamber buying a bike until he knows they are visiting.

Or better still when they are at WHF. Sheila & 6 year old boys would be unreliable & could cancel.

By the time he found out they were visiting or at WHF he didn't need to buy a bike as June had one.

Anyway the fact is June's bike arrived at Bamber's cottage 2 days before the massacre.

Julie testified Bamber planned to cycle The Sea Wall and believed it would take him 15 minutes.

Nevill, June & Bamber had cars and taxis existed in 1985. He did not steal June's bike so Julie could cycle from Goldhanger to Tolleshunt D'arcy.
Title: Re: Confirmation June's bike was stolen.
Post by: Adam on June 29, 2023, 05:16:AM
Just did a Goldganger - Tolleshunt D'arcy route check online.

Says it would take 13 minutes to cycle via Maldon Road.

Tolleshunt D'arcy is further away than WHF. There is no way it would take 22 minutes longer to cycle from Goldhanger to WHF via The Sea Wall.

On a scale of 1-10 - 10 being 'flat out', 1 being walking pace, Wilkinson cycled at a 2.

Wilkinson was born in 1950

So only 35 at the time of the events.

He was born in Colchester. And more than likely if not familiar with the route. Had studied a map or coordinate before the journey

The pedometer would not need to be checked constantly. Just at the conclusion of the journey.

He was doing a reconissance mission of a suspected killers cycle run. None of this " 20 percent bollocks " he would go at a normal pace.

Doubtful he was unfit. Ainsley would have not got him to do it and got someone else instead.

Before you say source. Conduct your own research. You haven't provided sources for Wilkinsons escipades just opinions

But you have no choice but to agree Wilkinson cycled The Sea Wall at a 2/10 pace. It is a fact.

The Sea Wall is 4.2 miles.

He cycled it in 35 minutes. Which is twice as fast than what he walked it in.

Should be 5/6 times faster.
Title: Re: Confirmation June's bike was stolen.
Post by: Adam on June 29, 2023, 09:02:AM
It is very easy to maintain a 15mph speed on a flat surface for 4.2 miles.

Which would have given Bamber a time of 16 minutes.

Well I would call Wilkinson 35 years of age in 1985 and Bamber 24 years old in 1985.

A little over a decade between them.

Both fit, the former a serving  police officer tasked with doing a cycle journey. The latter only 24 and who worked long hours in a farm. Believe Bamber used the gym quite often back then as well. I know from experience he was obsessed with the gym in prison.

No difference in times. We haven't had the benefit of bamber and Wilkinson doing a marathon and comparing who would come first. Can't speak for individual fitness in terms of who was fitter than who

In any event. Again we will just have to agree to disagree

Adam,the whole point of timing the routes was to see how FAST they could be cycled.

The prosecution were desperate to prove Bamber phoned the police from WHF then from his cottage ten minutes later. Wilkinson would have been under orders to do the routes as fast as he possibly could.

Why else do you think they timed the routes? All the prosecution had to do was simply claim that Bamber used the bike and leave it at that. But then you know this,dont you Adam?

The prosecution case was to confirm the routes terrain and distance. Together on whether it passed any properties.

There case is he phoned Julie at 3am & the police at 3.26am. So time was not a big issue as Bamber did not believe it so.

And as for stealing the bike,this would have been very risky.Just suppose June noticed it was missing and told someone outside the family,a farm worker for example who then tells other farm workers.

In this case they would be witnesses that the bike was taken without Junes knowledge,then the games up for Bamber,proving that he stole the bike to use in the murders.
How could Bamber know who June had told about the bike being missing?
But,no one told the police that June was looking for her bike in the days leading up to the murders,so this means she either did not notice it had gone or Bamber did indeed ask for a loan of it for Julie to use.

In Robert Boutflours notes he makes up a scenario in which Bamber uses Junes bike,the entry is dated 11Aug,he says'bike at Bambers cottage,when did it arrive?.

So,RB knows by the 11th Aug that Junes bike is at JBs cottage,yet AE is looking for Junes bike at the WHF on 15th Aug.

Will have to check all AE and RBs evidence regarding the bike too.
Although the quote that AE was looking for the bike comes from 'Wilkes' book,so will be cautios.

June didn't work on the farm. So unlikely to engage with any farm workers.

A slim chance she would notice and tell someone. Maybe told Nevill.

That is why the bike was stolen a couple of days before the massacre. Less chance of it being missed.

OK,it is clearly stated in Robert Boutflours notes that on 11th Aug he knew that Junes bike was at Jeremy's cottage,asking the question'how long had it been there'. However on 15th Aug AE[for some reason] was pre-occupied with finding the bike and searched the farm.Sometime later both AE and RWB went to the police station with a list of written quiries,one of which was the whereabouts of Junes bike.

And low and behold on 22nd Aug AE was snooping around the back of JBs cottage and found Junes bike.

So are we to believe that RW made a mistake in his notes? And just why were the relatives looking for Junes bike,what business was it of theirs where the bike or anything else was? It wasn't their bike,yet they wanted the police to find it,why? And why didn't they simply ask JB if he knew where it was?
Why were they interfering with JBs property behind his back?
JB had apparently been selling things off from the farm or giving them away in some circumstances,why not the bike? Was it of special significance to the family?

AE even asked Barbara Wilson how much the bike cost and where it came from.Besides,June had only had the bike for three weeks before the murders,had the relatives even seen it,and if so why did it stick in their mind and need to be tracked down after her death? Didn't they have other more important things to think about?
Title: Re: Confirmation June's bike was stolen.
Post by: Adam on June 29, 2023, 03:26:PM
Thought AE said she was looking for it at WHF but could not find it. AE was aware of the bike.

They thought Bamber may have cycled. They did not ask him about the bike as it may have alerted him about there suspisions.

Sorry to butt in.
But if everyone has calmed down and is happy now I would like to talk about another discrepancy regarding AE.
Now,much has been said about the time at which JB phoned Julie Mugford the second time on the night of the murders. In her first statement Julie said it was about 3.30,but then changed the time to 3.15 in later statements after checking with her flat mates.
Now heres the thing,in one of AEs statements she says that on the 8th Aug when Julie gave her first statement regarding the time of the second call, that the police asked if she was sure of the time because it was very important,so Julie phoned someone there and then and changed the time to 3.15.
Yet there is no mention of 3.15 on Julie's first statement,and just why was the time of the second call important on 8th Aug? JB wasn't even a suspect,so what possible reason would the police have to tell her that the time of the call was important and to double check?

Anyway,unless I am  mistaken,AE stated that Julie changed the time from 3.30 to 3.15 the first time she was interviewed,yet this is not reflected in her first statement from 8th Aug.as far as I can see.

Thats what I have been trying to get across to Adam Rob,as soon as Bamber decided to use a bike for the murders he would have bought one.not waited till Sheila and the boys arrived and nicked June's one.
And as I said,according to Julie JB had decided to use a bike long before June spoke of buying one.And how could Bamber predict that June would buy a bike berore Sheila visited or even if she would end up buying one at all?

As Adam said himself Sheila AND the boys visiting the farm was a rare occasion,so JB wouldn't want to miss his chance for want of having a bike at hand ready to go.No way he would have depended on his mum buying one surely?

As Adam said himself Sheila AND the boys visiting the farm was a rare occasion,so JB wouldn't want to miss his chance for want of having a bike at hand ready to go.No way he would have depended on his mum buying one surely?

I agree Snow, all this so called planning? there was none apart from making sure everyone knew!

My belief is he would have walked/run could take a more direct route and much safer.

He wouldn't fancy walking.

If he could get a second hand bike & pay in cash, believe he would have bought one.

A pity this issue can't be a seperate thread. But out of my control.

What do you mean he wouldn't fancy walking? He was going to kill five people walking is the least of his worries!

I believe not much slower than cycling anyway - it was dark remember!

Do you think Bamber would have bought a bike just before the massacre if June's was not available?

That would have been a good new thread question.
But thats the point Adam,he didn't know WHEN the massacre would be in advance,he didn't know a date,he only HOPED that both Sheila and the boys would be visiting soon,so surely the bike would need to be bought ASAP in readiness.

You may disagree Snow but to me the bike is a total red herring, average cycling speed in total darkness would be less than 10mph, he could force walk at 4mph and take a more direct route.

But the whole thing is Rob,we are being drawn into giving our opinion of how Bamber got to and from the farm.In reality we dont think Bamber was near the farm that night,so the whole JB scenario is a bit of a red herring really I suppose.

Post by: snow66! on June 30, 2023, 11:20:PM
I suppose from an innocent point of view a simple way of explaining things would be,the relatives invented the JB scenario and Julie was used a month later to confirm/endorse it as FACT in her witness statement.

Simple as that!
Julie was repeating what the relatives had decided to be the way JB carried out the crime.

A taxi is an option.

The OS state it was for the return journey to Colchester. They mention a pub. The red lion Perhaps if the landlord at the time is still alive he could verify it? They say it was stored there.

In his police interviews Jeremy Bamber said that Julie had mentioned to him she had wanted the bike on different occasions.

There is now only the Queen's Head in Tolleshunt D'arcy, but back then, what is now an Indian takeaway on the junction of Tollesbury Road and Maldon Road, is the Red Lion.

It has just occurred to me that I seem to recall there being on of those shed-like structures outside where people could leave their bikes.  I can only think the bus JM wanted was a local Osborne's Tollesbury/Colchester bus because there'd have been no point in her cycling from Goldhanger to D'arcy when the Maldon/Colchester bus went right past the top of JB's road.

Nor I, Steve, so I've had to weigh up the probabilities of both, whilst considering how likely it was that JB and June weren't speaking at all. If they weren't -and for me, it's a very big "IF"- then it's quite likely that JB might have stolen it out of spite. However, from what we know of June, I find it more than hard to believe she'd have cut ties with her son, whatever he'd done, to the point at which conversation was zero. I think she'd have been sad and disappointed, but maintaining total silence, on a daily basis, especially when JB visited WHF regularly, if not daily. I don't think such behaviour can be applied to June. Of course, I can't vouch for JB, but there would certainly have needed to be a conversation had he asked to borrow the bike for Julie.

Is it known if he explained his need for it to anyone? I'm guessing not, but it would surely have had to be there for Julie's use if he'd given that as a reason.

As Julie hasn't noted anything suspicious out his behaviour on Sunday, it suggests all was as it usually was.

It maybe that he wanted Julie out of the way before he took action. The last thing he'd have wanted was Julie trying to prevent his plan.

June had only recently bought the bike.

June had bought it for herself.

Bamber could afford to buy his own second hand bike.

June and Bamber were not talking to each other. Multiple sources online.

Bike arrived 2 days before the massacre.

Reason given for bike of Julie cycling home not valid.

Julie testified Bamber planned to cycle The Sea Wall.

Bamber said relationship with Julie coming to a close. No reason to get a bike.

Driving or walking to WHF not credible options.

June likely to tell Bamber to buy his own bike even if they were speaking.

Bike easy to steal as Bamber
worked at WHF.

No point Bamber buying a bike just for 30-40 minutes of cycling on one night.

The bike arriving just before the massacre gives June less time to notice and investigate.

Bamber had committed previous crimes against his family.

June would tell Bamber to drive Julie or pay for a taxi.

Bamber had a car so could easily transfer the bike.

No other bikes available for him free of charge. 

Nevill did not have a bike.

No record of Julie or Bamber  using the bike after it arrived at Head Street.

June's bike was cheaper for the 30 - 40 minutes of cycling on one occasion.

No use Julie mounting a mans push bike and ripping her knickers.

Very strange,AE is apparently shown a bike by the police at WHF but knows by the condition of it that it isn't worth 40 pounds so therefore it couldn't be June's bike.What? What kind of nonsense is this?

And why did AE need to know when the bike was bought and how much it cost? Why not just look for the bike,something odd here!

That must have been the bike Bamber planned to use when he spoke to Julie in mid June.

It was all part of the family and EP creating a back story. As I have posted before they had to produce an accomplice or a means for JB to make both calls. There was a chance that the defence might go for a call from NB but as we know that never materialised, because West testified to his second statement not his log and the defence were too busy trying to undermine the SM evidence. They also had to fabricate the  entry method and the banging of the kitchen window it to close it. This was also part of the back story for how JB manged to exit a supposedly secure building. It was AE who came up with that ploy. I hope Adam does not resurrect the AM thread

Oh yes,there is no doubt it was all a back story Bubo.Why on earth would the relatives be looking into a bike being used within days of the murder? For one thing,how did they know that all other transport had been ruled out by the police investigation at that stage.As you say,once all enquiries were concluded with no witness seeing Bamber leave his house that night the police had to come up with a way that JB could get back home from the WHF in around ten minutes incase the jury believed JB was telling the truth about a call from Nevill,hence the bike was needed,walking would have taken far too long.
But as you say,when the jury were told that it was Sheilas blood only in the silencer the phone calls seemed of little importance.

Remember also that the families suspicions had to be earlier because they had to claim they found the SM on the 10/07/85 which had to be before an SM was sent to the lab 13/07/85.

If he had done that, then the massacre would have gone ahead on Monday 6th August 1985.

However she may have told non WHF people. Once she noticed it missing.

Therefore it was in his best interests to take the bike as close to the massacre as possible.

The massacre not going ahead on Monday was either because of a trial run, or Sheila was not docile enough.

The bike was probably a whimsical purchase by June Bamber.

In actual fact is was probably just kept on the farm as tool if anything. I'd garner it was used by farm workers.

I prefer real evidence where available but feel free to speculate with regard to what happened between JB leaving and the TFG entry since it is impossible to know. However we are free to interpret what we can see from the evidence we do have and the crime scene photos.

Please provide a source that JB and June were not on speaking terms during August 1985. Once again you are making unsubstantiated crap claims. Wilkes book is not evidence.

Confirmation JB was asleep that night and got a call from Nevill



Jeremy was in bed that night because his bed was in his house.

Neville rang Jeremy because there was a phone in the kitchen.

Sheila had episodes during the night time before.

Jeremy was asleep then because it was 3am.

Jeremy was asleep because it was dark when he got the call.

Jeremy usually sleeps at night.

No reason for having a bed if you don't sleep in it.

Jeremy got a call from Neville because it's in JBs WS.

You see the problem is Adam - I can’t see any reference to the sea wall in her statement, she speaks about a route via the back road and she talks about an unspecified route that might take 15 mins, but no mention of the sea wall.
In court she wasn’t testifying that Jeremy had said he’d done it - so why would she say he’d used the sea wall?

Of course I must be mistaken because you wouldn’t have just lied! So please show me where I missed it by quoting the words she used and when.

Well,Julie had Bamber using a bike himself,but she also had Bamber using a hitman.
Obviously the police were covering all bases when Julie gave her first statement accusing Bamber.
JB and Brett were being questioned around the same time,and Brett I imagine was quite convincing and sincere when he claimed that JB didn't have the guts to shoot his family himself,this would have troubled the police who no doubt prompted Julie to the possibility of a hitman just incase they decided to pursue that line of enquiry,then any hitman could then be linked to JB.
In other words at that stage they had a statement from Julie which could cover two possibilities,Bamber as the killer or Bamber who hired a hitman.Very clever really.

They didn't have the guts to include the silencer evidence in Julies statement at this stage because the results probably weren't back or were inconclusive,hence if Julie did claim that JB told her about returning the silencer to the cupboard and then the silencer evidence was debunked,the whole of Julie's evidence would be seen as pure lies and fiction.Trouble is,it has been pointed out by members that JB would have had no reason to withhold the details of the silencer from Julie,not if he told her every other detail.
No,to be quite honest,I tend to believe and trust Brett when he says JB didn't have it in him to pull the trigger himself,a man in his twenties who regularly dyes his hair quite obviously has effeminate traits to say the least.
To be quite honest,both JBs and Bretts statements have a ring of truth,where as Julie's and the relative's sound like something out of fairyland with Julie giving an open ended statement comprising mostly of RWBs scenarios,including bikes,windows and hitmen.

Occams Razor?

Post by: Kestrel19 on July 13, 2023, 10:59:PM
The other challenge of course with Julie saying in court about the sea wall route is that in the October Wilkinson had checked all the possible routes, it’s clear from his statement that they weren’t certain which one would have been used, Julie had already given her statement and Matthew had already been cleared (otherwise why test the routes?) therefore wouldn’t the simplest thing have been to ask Julie which route was planned and been able to say for sure.
Instead Julie just says it’ll take 15 minutes, the police try various routes to find one that’ll take 15 mins, and according to Adam it magically turns out in court that Julie knew all along…

For that reason I would be very interested to see the testimony that Adams read… I’m sure there’s someone on here that keeps asking for sources to be provided - maybe he could tell us…

For me the silencer being dismantled by RWC and no flake being found is also telling. I believe my exposing Bird's finds and producing two statements on the same day dismantles the silencer evidence. RWC dismantled AP's silencer (21/08) before JM came forward. I believe the TFG or the crime re-stagers used his SM and RWC wanted to be sure that nothing turned up to drop themselves in the shit. Why dismantle it before sending it to the lab. Surely to keep the chain of custody and the exhibit clean forensically means he should have sent it 'cold' with no intervention.

Of course if the whole truth is exposed all cases with question marks against them prosecuted by EP will be under scrutiny and all cases involving PV will be called in to question.

Ainsley made a big mistake when he took control. He did not realise that Taff had kept all the coverup finds under Birds name but in his rush to frame JB all finds were sent to the lab DB1 - DB7 and the finding by Bird (DB1) and the fire debris (DB2) scream coverup.

There is no evidence and Adam cannot produce any after all this time. You cannot expect an innocence supporter to throw in the towel when someone keeps making statements that are unsubstantiated. It is for him to retract his view if he cannot prove his argument. To agree to disagree means there may be substance to his argument when there is none

Julie's, Jeremy's & Mary Mugford's court testimonies are very strong evidence the bike was stolen and used.

This together with the bike arriving just before a trial cycle run & proper run is also very strong.

But appreciate supporters will say it was Julie to cycle to a bus stop.

The evidence that walking would take too long and driving too risky is also very strong.

But appreciate there is no CCTV of him cycling. Which is what BuboBubo wants.

There is no proof the bike was stolen. Stop claiming other wise. They did not claim he used the bike on the night.

That does not make it fact. It was all circumstantial evidence presented at trial and there is no proof JB was at WHF after he left to go home and his attendance at 03.50 am on 07/08/85.

There are a lot of different things that strongly suggest the bike was stolen and used.

But appreciate June can not confirm it was stolen & there is no CCTV of him cycling.

This is not forensic evidence it is all circumstantial. There is no forensic evidence that he cycled home.
Just  because June's bike was at his property does not prove he used it

149. The appellant returned the moderator to the gun cupboard and before leaving the address called his home at Goldhanger, leaving the receiver off the hook, thus lending support to the alibi he would later rely upon. He then left the premises, one available route being to climb out of the kitchen window, banging it from the outside to drop the catch back into position and then cycled home.

151. The prosecution relied upon the following areas of evidence:
i) The appellant's expressed dislike of his family;
ii) His speaking of his plans to kill his family and thereafter his confessions to his girlfriend, Julie Mugford;
iii) The finding of his mother's bicycle at Goldhanger;

I meant the forensic evidence that it was not Sheila.

Obviously that means Bamber travelled to WHF.

Oh dear I thought we were discussing the bike. So because he was found guilty it means he stole and used the bike. On that basis because he was found guilty all the circumstantial evidence becomes forensic and 100% true, well I never.

Only if you believe him guilty and not that he was framed. I believe he was framed so I do not believe he visited WHF within the time frame outlined in my earlier post.

"She told the court part of his murder plan was to leave his car outside the cottage and make his way to WHF through the back fields and along the sea wall, avoiding the main roads".

----------

Wilkes.

Thanks for this Adam, I have to say that her testimony raises a few further questions.

In her statement in September she twice mentions Bamber cycling. The first time when he was apparently considering setting fire to the place and to return to the farm, and all she says is via the back road, there’s no detail around exactly where this is and there is no road route directly from Goldhangar to WHF other than through D’Arcy village. Potentially it could be an extension of Pages Lane towards the sea wall - although this does necessitate passing through another Farm yard and is only a road over part of its length - but could possibly be the back road referred to.
By June 1985 this idea has been dismissed anyway, he is now looking at shooting the family and has found another route that he thinks will take 15 minutes and he will try it to be sure. There is no further detail around this route. She says nothing further in her statement around routes.

The police then go and cycle a number of different routes to try them. They log the sea wall as 35 minutes, if Julie has mentioned the sea wall route to them as being his intended route then this instantly means it’s been disproved - otherwise why would they write it as 35 mins and make no attempt to clarify or travel faster if she says it can be done in 15 mins.
If she doesn’t tell them he plans to use the sea wall then why not? It’s an important detail if she knows it at this stage. The police also appear to be unsure of the correct route from Wilkinsons statement so she must have forgotten to tell them this important detail!
However by the time she gets to court she now knows he would have used the sea wall route, how does she know it now and not mention it before - especially when the police think it takes twice as long as she says?
There’s a bit too much inconsistency in the testimony, if she knew the sea wall was the one he would use then she would have said before - not mention it for the first time in court having lead the police to believe it would be a different route (remember the only one measured anywhere near 15 mins by Wilkinson was the Brook House track!)

Maybe because the plan was at an embryonic stage with Jeremy not specifying the exact route. I wouldn't take Wilkes' words as gospel either, and as there's no court transcript it's impossible to check.

A lot of court interaction and facial expressions in his book.

Wilkes's book was 94. In 1986 he was either a reporter or investigative author.

Reasons to be at the trial.

Quite possible Steve, but if she didn’t know when completing her witness statement then how did she know in court? Assuming of course that Wilkes is accurate in his book on exactly what was said - if he wasn’t then what else comes into question?

Maybe she had reasoned by that time that he was going via the sea wall. I doubt we will ever know.

Wilkes involvement started with meeting Bamber in HMP Gartree in 1991.

He by his own admission had to do a lot of persuading to convince Bamber to meet him

Meeting Bamber in 91 doesn't mean he was not at the trial.

Or he interviewed people who were at the whole trial.

From memory Jeremy cooperated thinking the book would be a sympathetic portrayal, but withdrew his consent once the content became known.

What consent could he withdraw? The beauty of free legal independent journalism.

Wilkes came to the conclusion that Jeremy Bamber was gulity and gave his reasons.

The book was never meant to be Pro Jeremy. If anything though it gave Jeremy Bamber his first soundbite whilst serving life in prison

Believe Wilkes and Jeremy had a reasonable relationship and rapport

I personally prefer Wilkes book to CAL. Never read Lomaxs or Claire Powell's.

Will someday read Colin's book
