Ewen Smith, who was Jeremy Bambers solicitor prior to Giovanni de Stefano taking on that role, went to visit Dr Craig and his wife at their home address, to find out at first hand how many bullet entry wounds Sheila had to her neck when he pronounced her as being dead, when her body was laid on the far side of the bed? Craig confirmed that by that stage Sheila only had one bullet wound to her neck!
This visit coincided with the CCRC lending Ewen Smith with previously undisclosed crime scene photographs, and images taken at the mortuary during the autopsy's. U will all no doubt recall that although Ewen Smith was not supposed to let anyone else see this collect of photographs, but that he allowed me access to them in his Birmingham office. I saw many close up grisly images of the wounded victims which was rather distressing. When I saw the photograph of Sheila's body which was laid on top of her parents bed she only had a single bullet entry wound to her neck. There was no blood pouring out of the corner of her mouth, or any second bullet entry wound and there was no triangular shaped bloodstain on the right hand side of her light blue nightdress. I took that photograph without Ewen knowing that I took it. I sent it to Jeremy who was being detained at HMP Full Sutton, nr York. I spoke to Jeremy that evening over the telephone and told him that I had got my hands on a photograph of Sheila's body on top of the bed, with only one bullet wound to her neck. I told him I was sending it into him in accordance with the privilege of a McKensie man. But prison security intercepted my letter and the photograph, and Jeremy was going barmy saying that I had fucked everything up. He was not allowed to see the contents of my letter, or the damning photograph evidence. Jeremy made an appointment to speak to the governor about getting possible access to m6 letter and the photograph, but the governor told Jeremy that he could not have any access, and that the letter with the photograph would be placed on his prison file...
Who took the photograph of Sheila's body laid on top of her parents bed, at a time when she had only been shot once? It can't have been the Witham SOCO's because according to the evidence they didn't get control of the farmhouse until 10 am, and by all accounts, PC Bird didn't start taking photographs until after 10.20am...
Which other 9 photograph negatives were attached to the negative strip, upon which the photograph of Sheila on the bed was taken. The only people who could have taken that photograph were Headquarters SOCO who entered the farmhouse with senior officers when they carried out 'informatives'..
