Supporters often say Julie testified on Bamber because he would not marry her. It is very unlikely this was the case.
Pre massacre:
They were living miles away from each other. The 18 month relationship had been in decline for six months and coming to a close according to Jeremy. He had been unfaithful to her.
Jeremy was a farmer, Julie studying for her second degree to be a teacher and showed no interest in farming. They were both young. In the mid 80's people were getting married a lot older than they were in the 1950's and 60's.
If Julie was just seeking a rich man, Jeremy was not that man. In several years or decades time he may inherit some of WHF in the wills, but surely Julie would not hang around that long.
Post Massacre:
Jeremy was now potentially going to rich. Julie summoned over in a police car and then whisked off here there and everywhere. It seems whether she liked it or not.
Having Brett around 24/7 didn't help matters and the declining relationship quickly ended.
Julie was quite prepared to help Jeremy in selling cannabis. She initially kept quiet about their activities most probably in the belief that he would married her and lavished his fortune on her. When this didn't happen she turned on him. Jeremy was then unable to implicate Julie as in doing so would have implicated himself. Anyway, unlike the caravan break in, Julie played no part on the night so was unlikely to have received a big sentence. This is unlikely as surely a rich Jeremy would want to be a St Tropez esq play boy rather than marry Julie.
It is more likely things happened as was said in Julie's witness statement. Jeremy committing the massacre, telling Julie before the relationship ended. Marriage never spoken about.
Jeremy clearly had no intention of marrying Julie. Julie either approached the police after he reneged on his pre massacre agreement to marry her providing she kept quiet, or not. Either way it ends up with a guilty Jeremy.
