Going by Bamber's WS.
Time spent - around 30 minutes.
Upon arrival June, Sheila and Nevill were in the kitchen. They were talking about options for Sheila. He had something to eat.
Rifle minus silencer and sights loaded to 8-10 bullets as had seen two rabbits outside.
Returned to kitchen after firing no shots. Sheila, June and Nevill were still there. No one seemed distressed.
Magazine and bullets taken out of rifle & left in kitchen.
Rifle left in kitchen.
Neither Nevill or June told him to put rifle, magazine or bullets back in gun cupboard.
It all sounds so plausible, and of course there's no need to lie in relating the summary of his life hitherto. He omits his parents' displeasure at his choice of partner in Sue Ford and June's possible threat of disinheritance. Some points regarding their relationship are broached in the September 1985 interrogations.
"
No-one appeared distressed and everyone appeared happy." Again, no reason to embellish or plant seeds of discord before he left for the night, although at some point farm secretary Barbara Wilson telephoned regarding a children's bicycle and related she thought she had interrupted an argument.
There's also the ECG comment about Sheila, which is not on record as therapy she ever received. However, as I say, the statement is measured, Jeremy hasn't lost control, a trait one might think runs through his whole demeanour at least on the exterior. He mentions unnecessarily that he in the
"only son" and gets out of the way early on the foreign trips freeloading, later balanced by the long hours he had put in at the farm, though done with a malevolent ulterior motive in mind.
