About this ebook

On the beautiful island of Jersey, the wealthy Newall family were the epitome of success; Roderick, the eldest son, was a handsome Royal Green Jackets lieutenant, his younger brother, Mark, was a financier. On the night of 10 October 1987 Nicholas and Elizabeth Newall went out to dinner with their sons to celebrate her 48th birthday. It was the last time that the parents were seen alive. Sometime during that evening, they were bludgeoned to death at their home, their bodies removed, leaving only bloodstains behind.

For six years Roderick Newall denied all responsibility for the murder - even after his dramatic arrest on the high seas by a Royal Navy frigate, followed by extradition from Gibraltar to stand trial on Jersey. But he could no longer live an lie, and took detectives to a beauty spot on the island where he had buried his parents with the help of his younger brother, Mark.

What drove Roderick to murder his apparently loving parents? And why should Mark Newall have been prepared to put his loyalty to his brother above that to his parents, thus becoming an accomplice to murder?

MURDER IN THE FAMILY is the gripping account of Jersey's most notorious and fascinating murder case: the hunt to track down and convict the Newall brothers is a thriller without parallel. Jeremy Josephs has had extensive co-operation from those close to the case and the Newall family in writing this enthralling book.

    Heartbreaking

    A very sad tale. Four lives destroyed, and why? For me, part of the deepest sadness was the boys. These were undoubtedly two of the most self absorbed, selfish people I have ever encountered. Good Lord, why on Earth did they have children. The image of Mark all alone on Christmas Day as his parents partied in Spain is haunting. Not that this condones murder. Of course not. But it does make one wonder about the entire community and circle. One of the friends wonders if there were anything she could have done. Yes. Perhaps noticed two neglected boys as she partied heartily with their parents, accepting presents from their globe-trotting as these woeful excuses for parents brought back nothing for their sons. The book itself is straight forward and quite British, that is cool and unemotional. Lovers of Gore and sensationalism may not like this style. I enjoyed it immensely. Parents beware. Those are human beings you are choosing to bring into the world, and you are responsible for them. Shame on all purveyors of abuse. And neglect is shameful abuse. Get a dog. Or better yet, a bird.
