The picture of Sheila on the bed is real, Ewen Smith knows its real, and he is now a CCRC Commissioner. Ewen Smith was told by Dr Craig, that the contents of his statement which refers to Sheila's body being on the floor when he arrived at the scene, was a false statement, and that Sheila was not dead until after police went into the farmhouse. Ewen told me personally that although this information had been conveyed to him by Dr Craig, in the presence of Dr Craigs wife, Ewen told me that he did not think Dr Craig was well enough or strong enough to attend an appeal hearing and be subjected to cross examination, because he was really poorly, and Ewen said that Dr Craig was a lovely old gentlemen who did not deserve to be put through such an ordeal...
Apparently, Dr Craigs wife was present when Dr Craig told Ewen all about his evidence and the false statements he had made...
Now...
in so far as does the photograph of Sheila on the bed exist, yes it does, it was sent to Ewen by Essex police along with all the other previously undisclosed pictures which formed part of the senior investigating officers album that had been kept in ACC Peter Simpsons safe in his office at DHQ, and the police only let Ewen see these on the proviso that he did not copy any of them or show them to anybody else...
The photograph of Sheila on the bed was amongst this disclosed album, and I saw it when I visited Ewen's office in Birmingham. Sheila was on the bed, somebody had raised the hem of her nightdress to expose her crotch area, she was not wearing any shoes or slippers, there was no gun on the body, there was no body bag on the bed, there were no runs of blood from the corners of her mouth, she was on the bed before she was later photographed on the bedroom floor. There was no bible on her body or the bed, she was laid on her back, and there was no bloodied fingermarks on the front lower part of her nightdress...
Police moved her body from the bed to the floor, and then made up a story about finding her body there on the floor with the gun and bible in attendance...
If the missing negatives had not been cut from its strip (8 of them in sequence) one of the missing negatives would show Sheila's body on the bed as I have described, along with the other image I have recently been shown, which also showed Sheila on the bed with only one wound to her throat/neck...
Why have the police cut out this sequence of negatives?
Why did they create a senior investigating officers album which contained 581 pictures, yet only tell the defence team that there existed 223 photographs in a so called master copy album? Why hide the existence of 358 pictures from the defence?
Worse still...
Why did PC Bird (SOC) only produce a schedule showing which of the (223) master copy album photographs, related to the (50) court album photographs? Why was no schedule produced to show all 581 pictures taken in sequence, against the order of 223 pictures taken from it in producing the so called master copy album, as well as the (50)court album?
Answer...
The photographs of Sheila on the bed, were taken at a time when she was still alive on the bed, she could not have been dead, hence she only had one shot to her neck by that stage. Sheila may have been assumed to be dead, but she was not...
Dr Craig made an error in pronouncing her as being dead at the scene without examining her to check for vital signs of life...
Ambulance crews in attendance at the scene, were not called forward into the farmhouse to check the bodies for signs of life, but were sent away from the scene, despite Sheila still being alive on the bed in the bedroom with her only having been shot once by that stage...
Police stage managed Sheila' body on the floor in a position parallel with the edge of the bed, and they repositioned the rifle on her body and re-arranged her hands upon and around the gun, and placed the bible close by - not Jeremy, or any would be as yet unidentified killer...
