GUILTY UK - Gary & Joshua Dunmore, 57 & 32, Found Shot, Cambridgeshire, 29 March 2023

I've just watched the 24 Hours in Police Custody documentary on this.

The whole thing is just mind-numbingly horrific and mindless beyond belief. I mean, what the hell was going through this guy's mind? He claims he did it because it's the right thing for an honourable family gent to do (paraphrasing) yet he's murdered his grandkids dad and grandad. How the af does anyone rationalise that and conclude that it's a reasonable thing to do?

Watching his utterly remoreseles behavior was actually a bit scary, tbh.

Someone upthread mentioned the daughter. She was arrested for conspiracy but not charged. I can understand why she wasn't charged because there simply wasn't any evidence to show that she committed the offence. Even if she knew that he would likely do it, knowing is not an offence and she didn't seem to do anything to help him do it.

Knowing and doing nothing to dissuade her father from murder is morally reprehensible in my view. They were her son’s father and grandfather! Did it not occur to her that he loved them and the heartbreak this would cause him?

The fact that she said nothing in response to her father’s repeated declarations about what he wanted to do could easily be taken as unspoken agreement with his plans. Implicit consent? Then there is the question of why she didn’t give her father’s name as a carer for the children when she was first arrested - if she knew nothing about the murders why wouldn’t he be the obvious choice?

I understand why the CPS felt there was not enough concrete evidence for a conviction, but I think she knew and she wanted Josh dead - she said as much in some of her messages.

Father and daughter came across as toxic.
One of the interviewees said that Stephen “babied” his daughter and I think he just gave her everything that she wanted (or he decided she wanted). Such an arrogant individual.

I am so glad that Mandy the grandmother has sole custody of her grandson, it would have been obscene if he had been sent to the US given the circumstances.

RSBM. I was curious how custody played out. Thank you for sharing.
