Title: Should Jeremy Bamber be allowed to cause distress to relatives of the deceased?
Post by: John on May 02, 2020, 12:53:26 PM
Here is an interesting question which has come up on another thread.  We could extend this question to people like Trudy Benjamin too whose presence at June and Nevill's graveside making a video can only be seen as being in very bad taste.

If your aunt, uncle or sister were murdered in such a manner, would you want these gouls at their graveside?

No. It's as disrespectful as it is macabre, but it's probably legal, alas.

I wouldn't. I'm not certain, though, that there's an answer. A friend has a corner of her garden as a "Memorial Garden" to her late husband. Such might be a possibility for the family if they were concerned. One can only pray that such a despicable act was a one off.

No, but there's nothing you could do to stop them descending.  It's like those people who booked holidays to PdL specifically because of their fascination with Madeleine McCann and who went to ogle all the "sights" like the apartment she disappeared from.

The problem is, as the General said, it's not illegal. The only way to stop it would be to have them re-interred at WHF, but there could be a problem with that. It MAY require Jeremy's permission

It's not a matter of legality, it's more about morality. I don't think they should be stopped, they should have enough moral fibre to know that the act was not only disrespectful, but morally bankrupt.

According to the CT, it is them and not the family that tend the graves but even if that is so, it was in very poor taste.

The answer to the topic Should Jeremy Bamber be allowed to cause distress to relatives of the deceased? is, of course not, but he will continue to try through his constant smear campaigns against Sheila, the integrity and honesty of the relatives that got the farm and Colin Caffell, who must never be allowed to grieve quietly when he has the temerity to think Bamber is guilty of murdering his sons.

What a wretched man Bamber really is.

Nick Drake was a wonderful genius. Jeremy Bamber shot two little boys while they slept at their Nanny and Grandad's.

It’s obvious he and they don’t care what they do as long as they get him publicity, but all they’re doing is showing how evil he and they are,

You’re seriously obsessed, Holly, and you don’t realise it

Seriously, you need to see your GP and ask to be referred to a therapist.  Your obsession is gangerously unhealthy and has taken over your life.

To want to pet at the house a mass murdered once occupied, then have lunch in his ex local pub shows you wanted  to feel close to him. Did your husband, Pete the lawyer, enjoy it too?

I frequently have lunch at the Chequers. Why on earth shouldn't one eat in one's local hostelry? I'm still wondering why you think the waitress shouldn't be believed?

You must have told her you’d come up to visit the same pub he used to go to 35 years agi, and she probably humoured you and said they had coach-loads of people dong mass murderer Bamber tours.

He’s been in prison almost half a century and is unknown to everyone under about 50! He wasn’t famous, he was just a psycho, so why would coach-loads of ghouls want to see where a nobody used to drink? OK, a nobody who shot dead all his family? It’s hardly a day out!

If Jeremy is innocent (and I'm not saying he is, but it is what HE is saying),then he is entitled, IMO, to stand up for himself, whoever might be upset by it.

As for Colin (for whom I , personally, have a lot of respect), he did decide, of his own free will, to help in the making of the recent TV series, and to give an interview on TV. Jeremy didn't make him do that.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. The pub is almost withing walking distance from me -albeit a fairly long walk- it's had an excellent reputation for food for as long as I can remember. On one particular occasion I asked the waitress if the was still any interest in the case. Her answer was "A bit, but not like it was". Of COURSE there are no longer 'coachloads' of visitors!! although undoubtedly, there had been several at the time interest was high -probably as a detour and part of a longer trip. I find condescending the suggestion that she was humouring me.

You have different views on this case than I do, Caroline, so of course we will respond differently! I cannot say , for certain, that Jeremy killed Colin's children.

Colin, apart from having written his book, had kept quiet about the case for years, perhaps because he wanted to shield his new family from it.  It was his choice to help with the making of the TV series, and to give an interview on morning TV. Whatever Jeremy might or might not have done 35 years ago, Colin's recent speaking out was HIS choice, not Jeremy's.

Why he made it, I don't know, and it isn't my business.

If he was innocent, he would have no need to resort to peddling lies, twisting facts and conspiracy fantasies but I agree with your wider point about his right to freedom of speech. It's how he uses it that reflects on him badly.

He is the puppet master of the CT and you only have to look at their tactics:  the constant lie that the jury were never told the proper facts about the inheritance and the lie that RBs blood group match with Sheila wasn't known by his legal team with the inference being that the family must have fabricated the silencer because they were greedy - which is proof enough for his followers, despite the fact that JBs admitted greed can never be any kind of proof that JB was the murderer.

Likewise, JMs damning evidence cannot be disproved so she has to be tainted by the NOTW money and her criminality, again proof enough for some.

I could go on but you get the jist.

Perhaps he is sick of seeing Bamber have all his say. He must be sick to death of hearing him play victim - if I was him, I'd have been a LOT more verbal and good on him for saying his piece, he has more right than anyone.

Colin, apart from having written his book, had kept quiet about the case for years, perhaps because he wanted to shield his new family from it.  It was his choice to help with the making of the TV series, and to give an interview on morning TV. Whatever Jeremy might or might not have done 35 years ago, Colin's recent speaking out was HIS choice, not Jeremy's.

Why he made it, I don't know, and it isn't my business.


Why shouldn’t have Colin spoken out? He is one of Jeremy Bamber’s victims too. Both his two little boys were shot dead by Bamber at the age of just six; robbed of their lives and future. Colin’s ex-wife and mother of his children, Sheila, was robbed of her life too. He has more right to speak up than the convicted mass murderer, Jeremy Bamber does. And unlike JB, Colin doesn’t lie, nor is he evil.

He never actually said anything nasty about JB when he was on GMTV; he simply told the truth and said that as ITV were doing the documentary anyway, he felt obliged to accept their request for his input so the full truth came out.

As for it being a “choice”, it was more a necessity so the facts were shown.

Colin never asked the producers to screen the vicious, cruel letters Jeremy CHOSE to write to Colin where he sadistically and slyly tormented him about losing his sons. You should read those letters to get a glimpse into the REAL evil sadistic Jeremy Bamber.

Thank you for posting those, CS

There’s actually far worse than those ones in Colin’s original book. Jeremy slyly taunted Colin about losing his boys under the guise of pretending he sympathised...I don’t have the book to hand, but shall post them up when I get the book back.

He makes subtle, sadistic comments to twist the knife in. He’s absolutely evil.

It’s also worth noting how he hardly ever, ever mentions the twins in his sickening blogs...and we all know why that is. He doesn’t want to remind people of their deaths.

I have never said that Colin should not have spoken out. I was just somewhat surprised that he did, after so many years.


I think you’ll find, MrsWah, that normal people never forget such a thing...

How could Colin possibly forget what happened to his two adorable who he cherished? Time stands still in such cases, and had Colin wanted to he could have spoken to the media many times but chose not to: he has dignity.

He simply decided that as the programme was going ahead he wanted it to be factual rather than fictionalised.

AFAIK the letters are taken verbatim from the earlier editions of CCs book which I have never read. I copied and pasted them from the blue forum where there was some debate about the letters being edited for the reprint.

Long thread here: http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,7101.1665.html

BTW Nicholas, the first letter is dated 16 August 1988 which I will edit into the post. It would seem JB had a long time to brood about Colin's lack of reply and how to respond.

No mention of his sisters alleged ‘suicide’ which we know didn’t happen

Copies of these letters will - by now at least - no doubt be resting in Bamber’s prison files

Maybe one of his supporters could ask Bamber if Prof Egan ever saw them and took them into consideration during his ‘assessment’ - I doubt he did

It’s also worth noting how he hardly ever, ever mentions the twins in his sickening blogs...and we all know why that is. He doesn’t want to remind people of their deaths.

Those are the only two letters in Colin's book Spy.

Will we ever find out if Bamber was the ‘close friend’ who contacted Kieron Saunders at the Sun the day after the murders? Or did he speak to the media on the 7th Aug?

The CT website states:

There is no question that the presentation of Sheila Caffell in the media was upsetting for all of the remaining relatives.[5] This was also harmful to the community of Toleshunt D’arcy more generally, and Jeremy and his family fell in to the category of ‘gossip’ and National Newspapers escalated rumors about connections between Sheila and drugs. Her relationship with alleged drug dealer Farhad Emami was regurgitated and used negatively, instead of positively, by showing how he had tried to support her financially and helped her during previous psychotic episodes.[6] Emami had left for Iran before the trial, but was contacted by police who noted in a memo that he would not return, and that if he testified it would be for the Defence and not the prosecution.[7] He was never called as a witness at the trial.

Who was the ‘close friend’ who started the rumours of SC and ‘heroin/methadone’ via Kieron Saunders at the Sun?

Was it Bamber ?

There’s absolutely no suggestion whatsoever that Sheila ever took Heroin.

Had she, then it would have shown in her appearance, actions, behaviour...her doctors and psychiatrist would’ve known, including the pathologist who would have found track marke sphere she’d been injecting herself.

I agree with you, this vile rumour must have been started by Jeremy. It’s always the ones who are guilty themselves of something (remember him trying to buy $5,000 of Heroin in NZ to sell on) who make spurious claims that other people are doing exactly what they themselves are involved in.

He even told the police when outside WHF that Sheila was a psychopath, which was a lie. It’s strange for a young man of 24 who works on a farm and in a pizza parlour to know such psychiatric terms. It would be interesting to know more about his teenage history...maybe he was diagnosed with a PD years previously and the Bamber’s didn’t understand the seriousness of the condition. It seems odd, given how troublesome and cruel he was, that they didn’t send him to be evaluated privately just as they did Sheila, and June herself when she had breakdowns...

I think more digging would open a huge can of worms,

I’m sure you’re right, Caroline — you know more than I do.

Bit I have read reams and reams of material, and because at first I had no intention of participating on here I have nothing in order. I am certain I read more letters from JB to Colin, and maybe I’ve mixed up the source. I did read a letter, though, similar to to those two but which was far more cruel. Until I go through everything I can’t back my claim up, but shall endeavour to so ASAP.

So he “inferred” Sheila was....

Typical psycho trait.

He’s vile.

It some ways this case suffers from there being far too much material to dive into but it seems reasonable to assume that if JB was prepared to send such vile letters to CC, he has probably written far worse behind his back.

He wrote a pretty nasty letter about Colin to me. No reason for it - Colin is the only real victim!

Actually, I get the impression, from reading Colin's book, that he  doesn't want to be thought of as a victim. He has done a wonderful job of getting his life back together.

As someone who suffered such loss, he is the only real victim in that sense.

Yes, I remember you mentioning that previously, Caroline

I know you’d rather not repeat what JB said as this is a public forum, but did he just start ranting out of the blue?

And why does he have this strange hatred towards Colin, I wonder? Colin was always so nice to him too! He actually sympathised with him at the beginning. Do you think it’s fury that Colin eventually saw through Jeremy and so he couldn’t control/use him anymore? Or is it some kind of misplaced jealousy? I know it would seem abnormal to think anyone could be jealous of a man who’d lost both his children to a violent death, but Jeremy doesn’t have empathy, so wouldn’t realise what pain Colin suffered.
