Australia Australia - Marion Barter - Missing After Trip to UK - June 1997 #19

My highlight of today was the newspaper announcement of his engagement to Ghislaine!!

I agree. Brilliant piece of evidence. He still tried to de.de.de.deny it..... but the evidence is there. Plus the engagement invitation too.

Absolutely that was the highlight for me. I actually cackled when he said “But I never saw this!” No ****Sherlock, that’s the kind of info we didn’t know so you didn’t either.

Hahahaha! Snookered!!

If he had seen it, it wouldn't exist anymore

Yes, I think the engagement clipping is very important! Particularly as it is connected to his Frederick De Hedevary name, which is his family name in Australia - the one he used for marrying Diane and having kids. He was clearly married at the time, so the they will argue that it's proof he intentionally misled a woman for financial gain. The clipping is a godsend of evidence! It's not just a he said/she said argument. Tomorrow will be interesting if his daughter is a witness. She is so brave!

For sure! We'd have another arson! I do wonder if he was responsible for also burning the victim's son's farm?

IMHO - I think he was cooked today for further investigations for the police to prosecute him for what???? I'm not sure what the exact chargers are, or alleged prosecutions maybe, but, they are adding to the 'tendency' evidence and more cause for perjury investigations.

This man has not waivered in his 'style' of giving evidence under oath. It is based on lies, lies and more lies. He continued to throw these brave and courageous women under the bus. He kept saying that HE was the only one who is telling the truth. He used, and continues to use, misogynistic and narcissistic traits throughout his evidence. My fingers are crossed the SL gets her answers, and this man is held accountable.

I could have missed the stream this morning.
I went to sleep around 3am, the alarm was set for 7am, it woke me up, then I promptly went back to sleep and woke up at 7.45 am.
So I could have missed it, but I didn't

I couldn’t believe he took the opportunity to discredit Marion. Again. I hope that is mentioned in the Coroners findings. Poor Sally.

I wouldn’t have blamed Sally shouting out at that point ‘bast**d”.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I wonder if he could be facing any charges in other countries, or is it way too late for that.

 

[Lord Peter Flimsy]

Having now just watched the whole proceedings I feel like I need a shower. You feel dirty after a couple of hours of listening to him.

 

[Lord Peter Flimsy]

I knew he would be be playacting today. I’m sure he could have performed a bit better than that. Perhaps he could ask his beloved MC for some more acting lessons.

 

[Lord Peter Flimsy]

One thing that frustrates me is the endless going around in circles with the same questions we’ve heard many times before. I would try and change tack a bit. Delve into his personal life. Do you gamble? Do you like horse racing? Have you ever taken drugs? Have you been to a casino? Have you ever owned shares? Have you ever been to Hungary? Why do you have so many relationships outside of your marriage? Etc etc.

 

[bbbounce]

Why did the Coroner allow him to talk like that? Wouldn’t she require a medical letter? Or is it a good thing, having all his dribble and lies documented?

I’d say giving him plenty of rope to hang himself

 

[Mjjj14]

I wonder if he could be facing any charges in other countries, or is it way too late for that.

Unfortunately many EU countries have a time limit or statute of limitations for crimes. I think Belgium is one of those countries but I’m by no means an expert in Belge law.

IMO he knows a lot of people

And he has a lot of cousins by the sound of it

With everything we've seen so far during 15 days of an inquest, it's clear he has a pattern of defrauding women, he admits to a relationship with Marion, and he admits to fraudulently using the FNM Remakel name.

So I think the Coroner has enough to say RB was definitely involved with Marion before her disappearance, and likely in a similar fraud-minded way he was involved with the others, and he was likely the reason Marion suddenly uprooted her life, sold her house and withdrew her money.

What's difficult to prove is when and how MB perished.
All the witnesses (we know of) are still alive, and he either left them stranded or disappeared, so it's going to be hard to suggest he changed his pattern for Marion.

Unless they have a few aces up their sleeve for tomorrow... can they show he's capable of taking a life?

Either way, it can be said he was likely the LAST person to see Marion alive and that's got to count for something, right?

The journo thinks it's just day two of the inquest. Who's gonna tell him

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Who is the lady that came over from the UK to support Sally. I didn't understand what he said her name was.
