Clappedout has made reference today of the press initially reporting June was responsible for the murders. This was certainly contained in Claire Powell's book as I have read the book myself. I believe the reason CP made reference to this was to show how the press misrepresented the case in the early days as there's clearly no truth whatsoever in June being responsible.
Do we have the press article re June?
I have always believed JB was and still is the victim of the most appalling witch hunt.
Btw I think Jackie's surname is Preece not Priest? Perhaps it's a Freudian slip and you see Jackie possessing priestly qualities
Oops yeah sorry ...... Preece! She hasn't stalked me for a while, guess I forgot!
I do not think there was a witch hunt against Bamber in the slightest. DS Jones sniffed Bamber out the first day because he was exposed to him and his behaviour at the cottage in Goldhanger! The relatives and Colin realised the story didn't make sense quite early on. Neither Jones nor the relatives were listened to for a long time until RB went over the head of DI Jones!
Surely you don't think these people got together to try and do Jeremy out of his inheritance? These relatives are the very people you would expect to see through Bamber's sick master plan and it took a hell of a lot of pressure to get the police to listen to them.
Where in there is a witch hunt?
Holly if push came to shove, I believe you would come down on the side of the 'compelling evidence' rather than your suspicion that Sheila killed them all in a murderous psychotic episode! In my opinion anyone who suspects that to be true just has to read the known facts from the crime scene to realise that it is impossible.
Never mind Julie Mugford's testimony which by all accounts was compelling at trial.
