We are all here speculating not so much about him because we know what he did which most of us find abhorrent. Does the fact we are posting mean we are obsessed. Do you think you are? I most certainly am not ... the very thought of him makes my flesh creep.
I've never been sure whether or not he's guilty, but, from what I've heard and read about him, I don't think I would like him, whether innocent or guilty. What is fascinating, is the case.
A young woman with a serious mental illness, who seems (unlike her brother) very likeable, and who COULD have done it, even if none of us want her to have done it-----because, very sadly, mentally ill people sometimes do dreadful things like killing their own children.
A rather dislikeable, greedy, possibly jealous brother, with a very believable motive,and some "form", who, at first, was not thought to have done it, but who was eventually found guilty, and who, 35 years later, is still protesting his innocence.
Two children killed----and the murder of children is always heartbreaking.
An adoptive mother, also with mental health problems, who appears not to have had good relationships with either of her children.
People in the background, who seem to have had a lot of influence, one way or another, but who also seem (IMO), to be either "dodgy", dislikeable, or both.
A "goodie " and a "baddie" policeman, both called Jones.
Police logs indicating two phone calls, and an indication that someone was alive inside the farm while JB was outside with the police-----------------but then, they are probably faked (??)
A firearms massacre in rural Essex----that, in itself, is probably unheard of.
You couldn't make it up. it sounds like fiction------but, very sadly, it isn't.
To be honest, at the end of the day, it was an appalling crime, but a very interesting one. I suspect Jeremy, himself, is not very interesting at all.
