Following the murders, Wilson spoke to journalists about Bamber’s relationship with his parents.

She also gave approximately 14 statements to the police in 1985 following the killings.

In her pre-trial witness statements, Wilson gave no incriminating evidence against Bamber, nor did she criticise his character.

According to court documents, During the 1986 Dickinson Enquiry one month after Bamber’s trial and conviction, Wilson was asked about Jeremy once again.

She described him as “very pleasant” and a “likeable jovial fellow.”

She added: “ probably got on better with him than my own son.”

Wilson also said Bamber had not said anything “nasty” about his family and was never violent towards them.

She explained the only criticisms he made were about the farm itself.

Transference denial is when the painful fact is admitted, the seriousness also admitted, but one's moral responsibility in the situation involving the painful fact is downplayed.

When a person is in denial, they engage in distractive or escapist strategies to reduce stress and help them cope.
