That part of Ann Eatons private notes (shot 'through' chin) supports the fact that Sheila must have still been alive when DS Jones and DC Clark had seen her body on the bed (to be precise, on the left hand side of the bed), with at the time they were present, a bible on her chest, and the gun beside her body. As soon as thy get to Jeremy's cottage and Ann Eaton turns up they recited to her what they had seen with their own two eyes, without knowing that back at the scene, matters had taken a turn for the worst..
Lets pause there, with Jones and Clark, there in the main bedroom seeing what they both saw, and ask yourselves the following questions:
How many times had she been shot?
If she had only been shot once by that stage, and it was the non fatal shot fired though her neck / chin, was it possible that she could have survived being shot elsewhere in the farmhouse, for example, lets just say downstairs in the kitchen?
Would such a suggestion fit in snugly with the police radio messag log version of the events, from as early as 7.35am 'two bodies downstairs, and three bodies upstairs', by 8.10am?
Had the police surgeon, Dr Craig made a blunder in pronouncing Sheila as being dead at 8.44am (without carrying out any physical examination of Sheila's body)? Also bear in mind, that it was Craig himself who described Sheila's body as being laid on the far side of the bed with a rifle alongside (this seems somewhat consistent with the note that Ann Eaton wrote in her own handwriting 'Sheila on bed, ..., gun beside her'. He too stating thst Sheila had what appeared to be a gunshot wound to her neck (not two gunshot wounds)?
Was professor Knight correct when he testified to the fact that he would have expected Sheila to have survived the first shot by as long as half an hour, and that she could have continued to be capable of moving around throughout that period, or words to that effect?
When DS Jones and DC Clark saw Sheila's body on bed, prior to them both leaving the scene, Was Sheila Caffell still alive, or dead at that stage?
