Did JM ever really love Jeremy Bamber?

[chochokeira]

I can't decide. What do you think, Jackie?

[chochokeira]

Like a hole in the head?

She certainly seemed obsessed with him and maybe his money.Jeremy complained to friends that Julie and Brett expected him to pay for everything.And Julie had a tantrum once when Jeremy didnt get around to booking them a holiday as he said he was too busy with the farm,so he gave her £400 for her to take herself and a friend on holiday.And all this after the murders,when she is supposed to have suspected him of being responsible!

I wonder if he gave her that £400 in order to persuade her to leave him in peace to spend some time with an old girlfriend who had reappeared. That would explain why he didn't book the holiday  Jeremy gave JM this money either just before they stopped seeing each other or just after, didn't he? I seem to recall reading of a conversation between JM and whatsername (Battersby?) about £400 had given JM.  I'm sure the conversation took place after JM and Jeremy had broken off their relationship. Though I suppose JB may have given JM £400 on more than one occasion. That £400 would be worth around £1000 now. Very generous!

Keira,Im not sure.In the book it states the £400 holiday money was before they broke up,and a £400 cheque as a late birthday present after they broke up.JM had a really big problem with Jeremy and Bretts friendship didn't she.It all seemed to go downhill once he appeared on the scene.

[Jerry]

Could the money have been a bung in order to keep her quiet?

Staying in a relationship with her and not chasing other women right under her nose may have been more effective!

I think JM was a pillar of soceity, the sort of girl a father hopes his son brings home.

Seriously, i think there was a strong bond between them.

Edited: terrible spelling mistake!

[tyler]

Paulg,do you think they seemed to be two peas in a pod?

Yes, in lots of ways.

If my son  ever brings home a girl like that he can pack his bags....

One slip as a student and you condemn her for life. Are you trying to tell me that all students and young folk in general are angels and never get up to anything naughty. A rather blinkered approach if I may say so?

Julie Mugford has redeemed herself in her maturity and is a valuable asset to society irrespective of her evidence at Jeremy's trial.

Keira, if your sons ever brings home a girl like that maybe you should pack your bags or at least purchase a bullet-proof vest!

+1 out of sympathy Keira.

Surely, JM & JB Both robbed the caravan Park, both slept around, both led the high life after the murders.

How can you judge one to be more trustworthy than the other?

[Jerry]

She didn't so much rob the Osea Road Caravan site as accompany Jeremy when he was doing it in order to get back at Ann Eaton.

It was Jeremy who had the ulterior motive for the robbery, the arson and the trashing the place.

Such a nice boy, the sort one would automatically make a Director?

No wonder granny changed her will and disowned him.

[Jackiepreece]

I think most people on the forum agree there is no proof JM was telling the truth but as shown in many ways she was a good actress in the witness box unfortunately JB thought just by telling the truth that would be enough.


Thanks for for that funny message Paul about JM I had just been away for a couple of days in beautilful Southwold xxx
