Could Jeremy Bamber be extradited to face new charges?

[John]

Allegations were made at the time of the murder that Jeremy Bamber had been involved in criminal activity while down under, as in Australia or New Zealand.

In fact, one of the witnesses at the murder trial claimed Jeremy had obtained two Cartier watches in a jewellery heist along with a bag of diamonds.

I recall reading about a couple of Cartier watches and a bag of diamonds which jeremy came by while in New Zealand.  Seems they were both a couple of busy boys.  The bit I don't quite get is if he had these watches and a bag of diamonds why did he have to beg his mother for £2000 to get him home in a hurry??  >@@(*&)


..or was it a case of the heat was on??

If what Jeremy told Julie is true then he could very well face extradition and criminal charges for robbery and theft down under if he were ever released or is there a statute of limitations in New Zealand or Australia?

Anyone know?

I have just been told that there are no time limitations on criminal prosecutions in New Zealand and Australia so there you go.  It would be a bit shit to have served 30 years and then be extradited for other crimes.

Hey man....."you do the crime - you do the time" as we say here.

Oops! I innocently asked if it was that individual, had no idea it would be  a sensitive subject (especially in this day and age when we can be sued for libel for anything we post in the "virtual world"). It would be interesting to find out what became of a lot of these peripheral characters in the world of Jeremy Bamber at the time, a lot of them seem to have disappeared off the radar.

I have had the word out for a while but many of them seem to have gone to ground.

I have never heard this mentioned on the Jeremy Bamber forum but then again its not the sort of thing they would want to broadcast for obvious reasons.   Does anyone know where these robberies of the jewellers shops took place?

It was in New Zealand as far as I remember.  This was probably looked into back in 1985/86 but has been effectively swept under the carpet over the last 27 years.  Could I suggest we delve into this a bit deeper.  I'm sure David Boutflour and his sister Ann Eaton know about this as their late dad pursued this issue at the time and even engaged the services of a private detective.  There are references to New Zealand and Collins in Robert Boutflour's statements.

I will see what else is available on the internet on this subject.  If anyone has information on this please post it.

Jackie Preece did post that she would drive him to the airport so that he could catch a flight to Australia??

A Statute of Limitation only applies to civil cases in Kiwiland and not criminal cases so if Jerry was involved in such activities as alleged by Julie and Suzie he could very well have a long flight in front of him.  Remember there is also an allegation that Collins was mixed up in this too and that someone was killed during one of these robberies.  All in all this could turn out to be a significant event.

Bamber is never leaving his UK slammer so whether or not he could be extradicted is a mute point surely! Also if Bamber was in the frame for crimes downunder, I would imagine we would have heard if he was a wanted man.

He probably has done but a long time ago.  Robbery and theft would seem to have been his speciality and ion both hemispheres.  Look at it this way, the Aussi and Kiwi authorities would have been well aware of what was going on as they had to provide info on Collins.  They would have known that Jeremy was involved in five homicides so a bit of robbery paled into insignificance.  When he was found guilty and sentenced at that point to 25 years they would have taken no further action but the crime is still on their books.

He had to get out of there in a hurry by all accounts.   Didn't June have to fork out £2000 behind Nevill's back and wire it to him in New Zealand.   Do you think Nevill ever found out about that?
