Yes initially I thought the same but I think they are trying to illustrate a) the relatives benefitted materially from JB's conviction and b) the relatives have always been happy to live at WHF where 5 members of their family were murdered in the most horrific circumstances.
I have posted about this previously; I struggle to comprehend anyone wanting to live at WHF. Most 'houses of horrors' are knocked to the ground eg Dunblane gym, College Close, Cromwell Street etc.
I am also struck by AE's matter of fact attitude towards remaking the twins' beds. This sent a shiver down my spine:
Monday 12th August 1985
"Shortly before he actually arrived my daughter and I remade the beds in the twins room".

At this point in time AE's daughter was just 8 yoa.
I have made allowances for JB seemingly carrying on as normal eg bacon sanny etc so perhaps I should afford AE the same level of understanding.
Farmers tend to be down to earth practical types so perhaps this was just their way of coping in the aftermath.
Does anyone else think this a little unusual or am I alone in my thinking >@@(*&)
Numerous murder scenes like the House in Amityville find buyers even in spite of the haunting tale.
Death is a fact of life, people died of all sorts of causes in homes daily. If we razed all places where deaths occur it would be quite a waste. My paternal grandmother died in her house and my Uncle is living there currently.
Frankly those who are too scared to live in a place where someone died have mental issues. If you love a place and want to live there but knowing someone died there frightens you too much to buy it then you should see a shrink to help deal with irrational fears.
My issue with WHF is I don't like the country style of the inside, the thing would need to be gutted and redone from top to bottom which would cost a fortune.
