Hi there. 15 at the time I remember the murders - and the trial with Jeremy memorably taunting the prosecution barrister.
Interest renewed by the Heidi Blake podcast. Extraordinary behaviour from the late Nick Milbank. Late in more than one sense.
If Sheila did it I'm mightily impressed considering she'd never loaded or fired a gun - and the way she kept herself so clean!
If Jeremy did it - every day he must curse himself for the Nevill phone call story.
One thing that really puzzles me is if it was used why the silencer ended up back in the cupboard.
If Jeremy wants support - he needs to publish the CCRC reasons. If he doesn't he really shouldn't expect any.
Welcome Jonathan, and thank you for introducing yourself in the foyer, a courtesy which has not always been adhered to. I suppose the main reason for Jeremy Bamber returning the silencer to the gun cupboard was that he thought its absence would be remarked upon by the relatives. It does remain a controversial part of the case. As for the purported telephone call from Nevill, the police were in effect Jeremy's alibi. He would have thought through that dilemma, plus he had to keep them out of White House Farm until Sheila, in particular, couldn't be saved. He was mindful that as a suicide he really should only use one bullet, though in his haste to get back to Bourtree Cottage he used two. He was anxious that one bullet might not be powerful enough to kill her outright.
