In September he phoned me and said he and the Campaign Team wanted me to pay for the new forensics tests. He demanded I send him £4,000. Before answering "no" I asked him who the scientists were as I wanted to check out their credentials. He told me to mind my own business and just pay up. He said if I didn't have the funds available then I should take out a bank loan. He was very threatening and abusive. When I started getting upset he shouted at me "stop playing the F*****ng victim." I was so worried and concerned, I phoned the prison and discussed this call. For anyone out there who thinks I may be telling lies, the prison confirmed that this call was recorded and retained so I have the proof.
I had already arranged a visit for October and went as planned and intended to discuss this matter with him. He was quite unpleasant and told me he had never liked me and would never want me as a friend, along with other very hurtful remarks. He told me himself that he had sacked Simon McKay. I tried to talk some sense into him but he said "everyone plays to my tune or I dispose of them". That appears to have been a lie as Simon claims to still be working for him. I now realise I was there purely for the money. I didn't turn up for the afternoon visit.
Back home, I wrote to Jeremy telling him how devastated I was that our friendship was a complete farce on his behalf and I was heartbroken that I was forced to walk away from him. I have given him three months to reply and all I wanted was an apology and an explanation as to why he had lied to me for three years, pretending he was my friend. This is why I have decided to tell my story as I don't want anyone else to be hurt by Jeremy. I feel so guilty abandoning him but what choice did I have? Andrea and Goatboy have got it absolutely spot on when they say Jeremy uses and abuses friends and then tosses them aside. I feel desperately sorry for him.
I know this is from 2014, so you may not read this, Daisy. But I’d like to say what a brave and soft-hearted lady you are: you weren’t to know Jeremy Bamber was using you, and that must have hurt you terribly when he abused you and said he’d “never liked you”.
His callous, controlling and deceptive true-self came to the fore, and like all evil psychopaths they can’t hold their fury in when they don’t get their own way. He’s very money-orientated, and realising you were comfortably off he obviously gave you a big sob story. He’s done it to so many people, and will continue to do so.
It’s staggering how he DEMANDED money from you, and ordered you to take out a bank loan — the arrogance of him is breathtaking. I suspect he got angry with you and swore at you because he realised you weren’t as stupid as he thought. Money is his God, and it would be interesting to know how many soft-hearted people who fell for his lies sent him money and when they stopped, he discarded them.
And for someone who professes he can prove his innocence (and he still hasn’t since his last contact to you in 2014), he would have jumped at the chance of using Maylove Forensics: they’re one of the top — if not THE top — Forensic agencies in the UK; used both by police and lawyers. It’s obvious the reason he didn’t want to use them was that they’d throw up exactly the same results that the forensic team did when he was found guilty, and the blood flake had 17 markers out a possible 20 markers that proved beyond doubt the blood was Sheila’s. It seems Jeremy wanted to use some obscure forensic agency in America, who he’d probably been told weren’t reputable...I think you can guess what I’m implying.
I also believe he gave you a sob story pretending that he had various, serious health problems. It’s all part of his manipulation. A journalist went to see him just a couple of years ago (I will provide the source), and said that Jeremy “bounced” into the visiting area; that he was in good spirits and upbeat; and clearly worked out regularly in the gym as his arms and chest showed. He even said he goes to the gym regularly, and he also has a good appetite. So what “serious” illness/health issues did he claim to have? They certainly don’t stop him lifting weights and running on treadmills. Nor are they in his mind when he says he will be free one day and wants to visit Australia, India and so on...
He’s a leech and a parasite, and doesn’t care how much he hurts ANYONE. Like yourself, who is sweet, kind, soft-natured, he didn’t care how much pain he caused you when he said he’d “never really liked you” — and to your face too!
He’s as vile now as he was when he murdered all his family. Cold, evil, nasty, aggressive — and is still unable to hold back his anger and fury. I’ve read so many accounts similar to yours, so you’re just one of many he’s used then discarded. I still find it astonishing that anyone at all can th8nk he’s innocent, or a nice man, when he’s he was found guilty of five murders, and treats people like sh*t when they no longer play to his tune.
