Someone has sent me this:
Thanks. Dan! For what its worth, I will tell you what I think happened at the Whitehouse that night.
OK, Sheila has broken down and decided to go on the rampage around 11.00 o'clock on the night of the murders, she heads down to the scullery to find a weapon.
Nevill hears her and goes to investigate, finding her in the kitchen with the Anschutz rifle.
Nevill may have tried to talk Sheila down, who knows, but things went pear shaped and Sheila broke the rifle butt over Nevills head sending him to the floor against the Aga, this is when his back was burned.
There is a chance that Nevill simply had a stroke or heart attack with the stress of the situation and fell against the Aga, but I think the rifle was smashed at this time rather than later on when Nevill was at deaths door and no threat!
Anyhow, Nevill is out cold with probable fractures to his scull around 11.00-12.00? his back being slowly burned and Sheila is now free to go on the rampage.
June is shot first while in bed, but manages to get up after being badly wounded, maybe the rifle had jammed at this stage? she stumbles round the bed after Sheila, but is pushed to the floor and shot in the head after Sheila manages to eject the jammed shell.
Sheila then re-loads the rifle before shooting the boys who only receive head shots, Sheila doesn't want to wound them like June and let them know what was happening, she couldn't stand them to suffer, so head shots only! Quick and painless!
Just what Sheila did next is anyones guess, but we know that letters were found for her birth mother.
Sheila re-loads the rifle again at some stage too.
Nevill comes round again about 3.00 and drags himself onto a chair, badly injured with a cracked skull he can barely stand. As he slowly recovers and remembers what has happened he decides to phone JB and ask him to come over.
When Nevill gets through to JB he simply tells him to come over because Sheila has got hold of a gun, he only says the neccessary as he wants to get upstairs to see what has happened. Nevill may have missed the phone cradle in his dazed state and left the phone off the hook
Nevill staggers to his feet and slowly stumbles up stairs, shouting out to June.
Sheila grabs hold of the rifle and waits for Nevill to climb the stairs, where he is met with two shots into his face.
Now at deaths door, Nevill tries to retreat,but in his slow state he is an easy target and receives further bullets to his shoulder and arm. Once Nevill eventually reaches the kitchen again, he can only stumble onto a chair exhausted and in severe pain.
Sheila enters the kitchen and Nevill holds up his one good arm in defence, Sheila prods him in the arm with the rifle barrel causing many cuts and bruises, she also whacks him on the shoulders with the flat of the barrel.
Nevills watch is hooked off at this stage, the lamp shade may have been smashed earlier on when Nevill was knocked out.
Anyway, Nevill eventually trips up over his pyjama bottoms and stumbles onto the side of a chair, his head falling forward into the scuttle as he looses conciousness from his injuries.
Sheila is now free to shoot Nevill in the head and make sure that he is dead like the others.
Just when Sheila shot herself I do not know!
So this is roughly what I think must have happened, Dan!
The burns were formed sometime between 11.00-3.00 while Nevill was knocked out,he then came round, phoned JB, went upstairs where Sheila shot him before retreating to the kitchen to be finished off, ending up on the chair/scuttle.
Any thoughts?
