The beginning of the defence and prosecution scenarios are similar - Someone creeps upstairs. June and Nevill shot 9 times in & by the bed. Nevill gets downstairs. ----------The differences then begin.
Back to case discussionNone knew what happened in that house Adam.Prosecution case was solely on Julie Mugford and the silencer. Arlidge himself states it was his strongest aspect. ( Mugford)
But what better way of placing the crime at her door, than imitating her ineptitude with the weapon? Certainly, there are numerous things which could have/MAY have gone wrong. Other than having to shoot her twice, it all went rather well. Or, more importantly, he was satisfied with his work. It's we who are worried about the "What if's" and "Supposing's" on his behalf in a way he didn't seem to be.
If you go by the bullet, body and cartridge locations, it is easy to create a straight forward Bamber scenario. Things we won't know such as who was shot first or whether Sheila woke mid massacre, would not have changed the final outcome.
Bamber could have fired 9, 11 or 17 bullets upstairs before Nevill went downstairs. Depending on whether he shot the twins first and how many times. What ever he decided, the twins put up no resistance.
What resistance would two little six year old boys offer.
They could have got out of bed. Gone to Sheila, made it difficult for Bamber to pin them down. But generally June, Sheila, Daniel & Nicholas could not have stopped Bamber. If fully fit and resisting individually or collectivly.
If Bamber was imitating Sheila it's strange why he does not have a few wayward complete misses?
Wonder why he didn't spare the boys if gulity.The will hadn't been changed. It was all going to Jeremy and Shelia.
