Should White House farmhouse have been demolished?

[Alice]

The decision to demolish or not would have been down to the trust that owns the house surely? I suppose if they had a willing tenant in Ann they would go with her wishes. It's a nice historic building and some people aren't worried about ghosts. Not for me personally, I could not set foot in such a house but each to his own.

I agree, I found that very odd and the fact in her statement she asked JB why he didn't want to live there! she also was there a lot after the tragedy like she had her sights on it from the get go , and i also found it off that she asked about having June's engagement ring so soon after the murders.

If you don't ask the question, you'll never know what the answer would be. Surely better that Ann had it and kept it in the family, than Jeremy flogged it along with anything else he could lay his hands on.

The Bamber's only rented White House Farm and the farmhouse as the Eatons now do.

I read it was leased?

it's an impolite question at the best of times but when three generations of your family have just been murdered it's a dreadful one to ask imo

[Alice]

Not if its an heirloom and you know for a fact that your nephew is making plans to sell off everything of value. To be frank in that situation I'd probably have asked the same. Bamber obviously had no attachment to family stuff and ruthlessly disposed of things as quickly as he could.

Yes, it belongs to a trust, but I was actually referring to June's engagement ring

Rent, lease - sort of splitting hairs. They paid money to live there to the owning trust.

I know and yes I would have asked about the ring. My answer still stands.

I think Ann was probably very aware of Jeremy's avarice.

I concur. A lady after my own heart

I know if that had been me it would have been the very last thing on my mind. And how would she know at that time what JB was planning, PLUS he was the son she was the niece, I'd say that gave him the right to decide what happened with anything that wasn't set out in the wills.

Apologies

i thought she was talking about the house as well
