She was not afraid of him after seeing with her own eyes what he alledgedly had done to his family? Not disgusted? She could sleep with him!!
So you are saying, John, that she went to the police because she was afraid for her own life - but she didnīt give a hoot about the murdered family, as long as she herself felt safe? She didnīt think that Colin Caffelll needed to know that the mother of his children had not killed them. She went to the funeral and put on an act.
I find it all a tad odd.
You must remember that Jeremy attempted to distance himself from the crime, from having blood on his own hands, by blaming McDonald. I believe Jeremy knew that Julie would react badly if she believed that he had carried out the act with his own hands.
I am not saying that Julie is blameless because she must take responsibility for her part in it. She walked away with a full hand I agree but she did so by telling the truth. Ultimately, she did not murder the family and I believe she honestly was of the belief that Jeremy would not do what he threatened for so many months. Julie may have come across as strong but in the weeks following the murders she crumbled to the extent that she had to tell someone. When frustrations turned to violence in Sheila's Maida Vale flat that fateful afternoon, she had no choice, she had to go to the police, the rest as they say, is history.
I do agree that it was odd that Julie Mugford had to identify the remains at the mortuary. That was a job for Robert Boutflour or some other senior member of the family. I know that Ann went with Julie but I wonder did she go in? I do also agree it was somewhat callous given the knowledge she had of prior events.
