Invented conversations are not allowed at trial.
This would be espescially right here as Nevill would instantly negate any escalation.
Nevill and Sheila were found bare footed in sleeping attire. They had abruptly got out of bed.
The totality of the physical evidence supports:
- NB calls JB from the cream phone in the kitchen
- SC runs upstairs and shoots June in bed 5 or 6 times (5 or 6 because the spent bullets and casings having not been properly accounted for)
- NB drops the receiver on the worktop and runs upstairs
- SC shoots out onto the landing at NB where he sustains his 2 x facial shots
- NB turns to retreat downstairs
- SC follows and inflicts NB's elbow/chest and shoulder gunshot wound whilst the pair are positioned on the staircase
- NB enters the kitchen and ends up in the chair. He attempts to shield himself from SC who is raining down blows with the rifle.
