Why was Nevill Bamber in the kitchen?

[Caroline]

Caroline how can you possibly know this?  Those who believe JB guilty are hardly likely to be in the loop.

Just. as you can say you're in some sort of loop that the rest of us aren't, I can say that your loop is wasting its time. In order for the CCRC to bend, there would have to be something completely compelling and nothing you have posted goes anywhere near that - it can all be battered right back to you.

I don't know whether he would phone Jeremy or not, but what I do know is that no one else knows either.

Wrong!

Jeremy knows...and Jeremy knows Nevill phoned him

[ISpyWithMyEye]

Oh I see.  G-Unit has already immersed herself in the minutiae of the case, gained access to all the evidence presented in court, met with Bamber and all surviving protagonists and managed to uncover vital new evidence, and all since the new year.  How very impressive!!

Hahaha!

And G-Unit trips herself up over and over again...what a scream she is

Relationships can be toxic. They can also appear toxic to onlookers when they aren't. Some families have stand-up rows, some don't. That doesn't mean those who don't have rows don't have problems, it just means they deal with them differently. Only those involved in these relationships know the truth in my opinion.

Which means you’re totally clueless about Nevill’s relationship with Jeremy...

[ISpyWithMyEye]

Me neither. It seems to have been around the time Nevill asked the trustees to add Jeremy's name to the tenancy of the farm.

Nevill asked the trustees to do that in the hope it would motivate Jeremy into taking more interest on the farm.

The trustees refused as they didn’t trust Jeremy.

And in the event, it would’ve made no difference, anyway...proof of that is how Jeremy planned to sell the farm as soon as he’d shot them all dead!

To be fair, I think it was more to do with his age and inexperience.

Could Jeremy sell the farm? The Bambers were tenants, not owners.

There must have been the possibility. Why else would the family have been so concerned?

He couldn't have sold the farmhouse, as it didn't belong to the family, but (I believe) the land did.

Nevill was a shrewd businessman. There are numerous incidences of him acquiring land/property. The half million inheritance didn't include the farmhouse.

They could sell the land they owned, not the house.

CAL's book page 103; Pamela Boutflour, Len Foulkes, Michael Deckers and Thomas Howie thought Jeremy was settling into the life his father wanted for him. Colin Caffell said father and son were very close.

No, Colin “thought” Jeremy and Nevill were close because Jeremy put on an act in front of him. Colin was kind-hearted, decent and caring, and because he had no evil in him it didn’t occur to him that Jeremy was a manipulative psychopath.

 When Jeremy suddenly appeared to show an interest in the farm, Nevill was thrilled and told people Jeremy had “turned a corner “. But everyone said they were suspicious of Jeremy’s motives, and they had good reason to be. Jeremy had secretly read the wills and knew he had to show interest in the farm in order to inherit it.

His sudden spurt of interest only lasted for so many months...until he shot them all dead...and then said he was going to sell the farm

That doesn’t add up does it?!

[ISpyWithMyEye]

To be fair, I think it was more to do with his age and inexperience.

Yes, that would have come into it, for sure

But I suspect there was more to it than just his age; after all, he’d grown up on the farm and ar 24 he was a man

The Eatons stood to lose half the land they farmed and the Boutflours were faced with Jeremy owning a 58% share in Osea Road. He also stood to inherit half of his grandmother's estate, which included Robert and Pamela Boutflour's home, for which they paid a nominal rent to Mrs Speakman.

58% or 50%?

PB = 42%, AE = 8%
June = 42%, JB = 8%

Either way very unpalatable for them.

Did you know AE moved into WHF some time after the murders and still lives there to this day?   

The place should have been demolished imo.  How anyone could even consider living in such a place is beyond me whether relatives or not.

And you might think the relatives who were wealthy in their own right might have considered making a charitable donation from the Bamber estate but apart from a lantern in the local church, nothing.  In fact I believe the Eatons and Pargeters went to battle in court over the estate.
