Just to be clear everyone, Aunt Agatha has been known to me for many years, I have no reason whatsoever to doubt what she states about her involvement with Jeremy Bamber and the personal possessions he left with her for safe keeping.
With all due respect, John, I know you say you don’t doubt Aunt Agatha, but do you have proof she’s telling the truth?
Because I know for fact, that police would never drive to someone’s home at the request of a prisoner — a mass murderer at that — and hand over a rifle (whether it was the murder weapon or not) to an unknown woman who was a mere associate of said prisoner; who didn’t have a firearms licence; and the prisoner himself had no firearms licence, either, nor owned a gun.
I also know that prisoners aren’t allowed to send gifts, even to their closest relatives.
As an aside, Aunt Agatha claims the police also gave her Jeremy Bamber’s wetsuit. I personally don’t believe it for a second, but let’s suppose they did: why would Jeremy Bamber want her to have his wetsuit? She claims he had all these items sent for their safekeeping, but then says she handed the gun into the police, and gave the wetsuit to a charity shop. Why would she do that if she was keeping them for safekeeping?
Her story doesn’t add up, and that’s without her contradictions, so excuse me for not agreeing with you on this.
