OK, took the time today anyway. Here it is - not just Colin harping on about a robin.... in fact, it wasn´t him at all in the first place, he just latched on to the idea! It was the family, Colin wasn´t there! Good grief!!!
Colin´s book, page 173:
"I learnt another surprising story that afternoon. Apparently, only weeks after the shootings, while the family were all at Whitehouse trying to decide which window Jeremy had used to get out, a robin flew in through the back door and landed on the kitchen window-sill.
When Anthony tried to capture it and put it outside, the robin flew past the open door and landed by the scullery window - the other one they had been debating over. On each attempt to catch it the robin flew past the open door and back to the other window-sill. This kept happening until someone voiced the opinion that it might be trying to help them come to a decision. At this point, the robin "left its signature" on the kitchen window-sill and finally allowed Anthony to pick it up and put it outside."
"The really strange thing was," said Anthony, "that after all that chasing, it didn´t struggle in my hands.""Are we in the Middle ages? This is really shocking!!!
Colin has bought this thing about the robin and puts meaning into "robin sights" on several occasions. I can see that having lost two children in such a horrendous manner, Colin was at a weak point in his life and would need anything to hold on to. But the FAMILY deciding which window Jeremy got out of because of a robin shitting in the window-sill is nothing short of CRAZY!!!
More the family told Colin about a robin, page 193:
"On the morning of the first day of the trial, a robin flew into the house of Karen and David Boutflour. They found it in their living room, singing on top of a glass display cabinet which contained a porcelain robin given to them by Ina and Anthony Pargeter - in memory of their shared earlier experiences."REALLY?!
