That is an interesting diagram Mike. Sheila was sleeping literally feet away from the main bedroom. So easy for Jeremy to get her there.
Where Sheila was found was the shortest journey from her bedroom & nearest available location for Bamber to get her to.
Sheila would have been manouvered to where June's body was, if June was not already there. So the second nearest option was taken.
People say Sheila would have shot herself in the twins room. There was enough room on the bedroom floor as the twins remained in bed. However that was a much longer distance for Jeremy to move her to.

I mention the colour coded sides of the farmhouse, (W, R, B and W), simply to illustrate exactly where WPC Jeapes' was standing when (a) she saw the anshuzt rifle resting at the 1st floor box room window, and (b) to confirm that she took up that position from PC Alexander-Smart, PC Collins, and PC Delgado, who were standing at the corner of WHITESIDE/REDSIDE who were members of the raid team that went to try and enter the farmhouse via the locked external door on WHITESIDE!
JEAPES was therefore providing cover from an area at the corner of the farmhouse where WHITESIDE meets REDSIDE in the diagram. Alexander-Smart, Collins and Delgado had left that position and gone towards the aforementioned doorway. It is important for everyone to remember these facts, because in terms of direction, the raid team set off to try and enter the farmhouse by the external door located on WHITESIDE, having travelled there from the corner of the premises where WHITESIDE meets REDSIDE, or in other words at the external corner of the building where the lounge was / is...
The raid team, left the corner of WHITESIDE / REDSIDE, walked along WHITESIDE of the premises in the general direction where the corner of WHITESIDE / GREEN SIDE meet one another!
Of interest to all of is, is the particular approach that was made by two of the six man raid party, PC Collins and PC Delgado, who were the only two officers in the six man group, to actually go beyond the door on WHITESIDE, to the next ground floor window which turns out to be the Laundry window, not the kitchen window. The other four members of the raid team had remained outside the aforementioned door, whilst both PC Collins, and PC Delgado tentatively peered through the window of the Laundry, and reported that they could see 'The body of a woman'..
Collins and Delgado could not see into the kitchen whilst peering into the premises from the vantage point of that Laundry window, and it is with 100% certainty that neither of them would have been able to see the body of Neville Bamber or even for either of them individually, or collectively, mistake Neville Bambers body for that of a woman's body (as alleged in false witness statements made by both of them)! In other words, Collins and Delgado did see the body of a woman when they looked in through the Laundry window, they saw a woman's body behind the door! The question remains, as to 'which door' they were referring to? What seems almost certain to me, is that they saw the body of a woman behind the external farmhouse door that police wanted to force open. They couldn't possible see beyond the inner door which led from the passageway beyond that door, which was hinged on the left hand side of that internal door, because that door was closed, or at best only partially open, with the opening edge of that door, being on the right hand side of that door! In order to fully understand the difficulty that both PC Collins and PC Delgado had of seeing the body of Neville Bamber in the kitchen whilst they were both looking through the Laundry window, you will need to refer to the following Crime Scene photograph, and ground floor plan of the farmhouse, which shows the Laundry window, the external door and the kitchen window so that you can be as sure as I am, that Collins and Delgado could not possibly, and did not mistake Neville Bambers body in the kitchen, for the body of a woman when they both looked into the room beyond the Laundry window!
Please bear with me...
