Sheila located upstairs, in main bedroom, at around 8:30am - 8:41am
When senior officers entered whf at just after 8:10am, members of the raid team, had started to make their way downstairs, and Sheila avoided them all by using the small staircase in the corner of the kitchen, where she temporarily concealed herself, before exiting through the door on the upstairs landing, and slipping into the main bedroom, unseen and unnoticed...
By the time Sheila got into the main bedroom, she took possession of the Bamber rifle, which was leaning up against the bedroom window, where WPC Julia Jeapes had seen it earlier at around, and from 7:15am...
As members of the raid team came back upstairs to look for her, she took possession of the Bamber rifle (minus the silencer) and shot herself under the chin, and she fell back onto the bed, which coincided with at least one police officer, witnessing Sheila take her own life in the bedroom. This police officer raced into the bedroom after Sheila shot herself under the chin, and hurriedly removed her body from the bed, and placed it on the bedroom floor, in the recovery position, resting her so that she was laid their on her right hand side, in order to give Sheila the best possible chance of survival, whilst at the same time, this police officer frantically yelled for others inside the farmhouse to come to his assistance. At this time, expiated blood contaminated Sheila's nightdress, and blood from the wound under her chin, pooled into the fold of her right arm, which was resting partially beneath her body, creating the distinctive triangular bloodstain on the upper right hand side of her nightdress, and a corresponding bloodstain upon the bedroom carpet (that the police would later try to conceal by placing a bible on top of it)...
Evidence that Sheila had only been shot once in the bedroom, was establish-able by reference to a very large circular bloodstain, on the bedroom carpet, which got there at the time the Bamber rifle was positioned under Sheila's chin, and the trigger had been pulled, sending her blood downwards onto the carpet, and tailing off in the direction of the bed, upon to which she fell in the last dying moments of her life - the police would later destroy this bloodstained bedroom carpet by burning it on a bonfire in the grounds of whf, ensuring that no-one would be able to reconstruct what had taken place by reference to it. Photographs taken at the scene which showed these significant bloodstains which originated from Sheila, were removed and concealed from Jeremy, his legal team, and the court which tried him for these murders, like so many other things which were done to help conceal the truth about what had taken place inside whf after the raid team entered it at just after 7:30am, that morning, and in particular, between 8:10am and 8:41am...
For several minutes, police officers tried unsuccessfully to save Sheila's life, and eventually when all hope of survival was lost, the police rolled her body over into the supine position - which coincided with the plug of clotted blood which had sealed the original wound to the right side of her throat, becoming detached, which caused blood to start running from it, so that blood was at this stage running from both wounds...
By the time the police surgeon, Dr Craig, arrived upon the scene, with Pi Miller, at 8:41am, Sheila's body was still resting in the recovery position upon its right hand side, exposing only one wound under the chin, to their respective views...
