PC Bird (Witham SOCO) could not have taken the photographs which exist of Sheila's body laid on top of the bed, with only a solitary shot to the neck, because by the time he was in a position to start taking any crime scene photographs, Sheila's body had already been lifted off the bed by other police officers, and placed on the bedroom floor, and the second shot which killed her had been executed!
The evidence which supports this as being true rests with the conflicting accounts between the timed police message log entries versus the witness statement version of the events, and the missing 358 photographs taken by the HQ SOCO versus the 200 or so crime scene photographs which were taken by PC Bird (Witham SOCO) after 10.00am...
Jeremy Bamber could not have shot dead his own sister and staged her death scene on his parents bedroom floor, even if he had wanted to. Sheila was still alive when the police entered the farmhouse, evidenced by the sighting of a woman through the laundry room window (the window to the left of the door police smashed down). Neville Bambers body was in the kitchen, or in other words, the room which was on the right hand side of the aforementioned door!
Sheila couldn't have already been dead on the bedroom floor before police entered the farmhouse, already shot twice and her body on the bedroom floor in possession of the rifle, because the prosecution knew that the rifle in question had been seen by Julia Jeapes resting against the inside of the first floor box room window! How could the rifle have been there, and in Sheila's possession on the main bedroom floor?
The rifle from the first floor box room window couldn't have already fired the second fatal shot when it was on view at the first floor box room window! Somebody had to move it from the box room window before the second fatal shot which killed off Sheila Caffell. That could only have happened after Julia Jeapes saw the rifle at the box room window..
How did the rifle from the first floor box room window, end up on top of Sheila Caffell's body on her parents bedroom floor?
Either, The police brought it to her body once they had lifted her body off the bed and placed it on the bedroom floor, or Sheila took possession of it herself and shot herself dead! But if Sheila had done this that way, there is no reason to suggest that the police would not have told it as it was. Not only that but the fact that by a reliance upon the timed police message log version of events Sheila was downstairs in the kitchen from 7.35am, onwards, at least until shortly after 8.10am, then she arrived upstairs on the bed in her parents bedroom, before her body ended up on the bedroom floor in possession of the rifle from the box room window!
One thing is certain, and that is that Sheila could not have received the second fatal shot when her body was downstairs, either in the laundry room, or the kitchen! Similarly, she could not have received the second fatal shot when her body was laid on top of the bed, otherwise how did her body get onto the bedroom floor in possession of the gun?
