I agree that the family had lots of problems, but that doesn’t exclude JB. Many neighbours friends and teachers spoke of his weird ways and attitude.
Robert B told detectives in his WS 10th September 1985 that he’d had a word with JB about tackling any intruders at Osea Road. (this meeting was about security and held on 20th June 1985 ) RB warning JB about committing a crime that would prey on his conscience: Jeremy then made an extraordinary statement “ Oh no Uncle Bobby, that wouldn’t worry me, I could easily kill my parents” ! RB supposedly then stormed off.
IMO...If this comment was ever proved to be false JB was still far from innocent...stealing, drugs, aggression, burglary.....what a son to be proud off!
