He phoned me one day and said he and the Campaign Team wanted me to fund the latest forensic tests. He said they had already been done and just needed paying for. I refused so he became abusive and slammed down the phone. A few minutes later he phoned back and started being nice. When he realised I wasn’t going to give him the money he turned on me again.
After the phone call I rang the Governors office and reported him. I asked if they had a recording of the said phone call. They wouldn’t answer and suggested I contact the Ministry of Justice. I did this and all they did was send me a link on their policy of phone recording.
What is the point of reporting him formally. He is on a whole life tariff so nothing can make things worse. It probably hurt him more that he had lost a loyal friend.
I've emailed Wendy Brading:
Dear Wendy,
I am contacting you with regards a recent news story published about Jeremy Bamber.
http://www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/16178432.Convicted_killer_asks_for_evidence_to_be_disclosed_to_allow_for_third_appeal/The article doesn't say who published it however I'm aware you have followed and reported on the Jeremy Bamber case for over 3 decades.
You may recall some years back we spoke on the phone in relation to the Simon Hall case. It's because of my experiences with Simon hall that I decided to contact you.
It turned out he was most probably a psychopath who groomed and conned me, along with many others.
In one of your articles in July 2016 you stated;
"Truth and transparency are fundamental and journalists must combine being creative with being informative.
At some points over the years, journalism lost its way a little and, to a degree, the public’s respect. However, I am still a profound believer that journalism is a force for good.
It is a cornerstone of democracy and justice. It holds the powers that be to account, it strives for transparency and exposes wrong-doing. One of its greatest assets is to give people a voice.
You've also published an article about controlled and abused women and I wondered why it appears you've yet to join the dots in relation to Julie Mugford? This could have been written for her when she went to the police all those years ago.
"But these women have found that ounce of strength and courage they need to break free from their abusers."
Come on Wendy let's have some truthful and transparent reporting, not this one sided bias attempting to portray Jeremy Bamber as a victim, when its quite obvious he and Simon Hall could have been cut from the same cloth. Both men are abusers who strive for power and control over their victims no matter the cost.
This is the kind of wrong doing that needs exposing.
Prisoners like Jeremy Bamber have more rights than their victims, as I came to learn to my detriment.
Yours sincerely,
