In my opinion it would be a lot better if you were to post a copy of the alleged photograph as opposed to a mock up.
From the mock up it appears the single gun shot wound was not bleeding. Is this correct?
In the mock up image which represents the single shot to the neck of Sheila on the bed, the single shot in question had stopped bleeding altogether, all that was left was the vertical trail beneath the entry wound as depicted (unedited) in the mock photograph. If the two shots were inflicted to Sheila within moments of each other as alleged by the prosecutions case, how could the lower entry wound stop bleeding, and then start bleeding again, so that when it started bleeding again blood presumably ran in a different direction than it had originally, and parallel with the blood which ran from the second entry wound above? If you study the mock image which as I say shows how the solitary wound was upon Sheila's neck before the second wound was inflicted, you can see that blood which originally ran from the wound, had stopped running altogether, and dried. Since the direction of this blood trail is vertical Sheila must have been upright in position when it was inflicted to the right side of her neck, with the angle of the weapon at about a 45 degree angle when it was offered up into positioned to fire the shot...
This is in stark contrast to the characteristics of the second upper entry wound, which was inflicted with the weapon flush to the body so that the barrel of the gun ended up beneath the chin...
I believe that there are clear features present here, to enable us to make an accurate guess that the two wounds upon Sheila's neck were not inflicted within moments of each other, since blood which trailed from the first lower entry wound had managed to dry before the upper second wound was inflicted. Not only that but the angle at which each wound was inflicted is vastly different. For example, the upper fatal wound beneath the chin, was inflicted with the gun flush to the body and this is consistent with it going off accidentally through mishandling by the police. This mishandling came at a time when police were present inside the building, and the victims had already been pronounced as being dead by the police surgeon, Dr Craig. It must follow, that iof at 8:44am when Craig pronounced Sheila as being dead she only had a solitary wound to her neck, that the second shot must have been and was inflicted afterwards, and of course, prior to the taking control of the scene by SOC at 10am...
A lot happened inside whf between 8:44am and 10 am that morning which Essex police do not want anyone to know about, events which involved firearms officers carrying out a training exercise with the bodies still in situ. It was whilst these training exercises were being carried out inside whf between 8:44am and 10am, that the second shot was fired which injured and killed Sheila. What appears to have happened is that a loaded rifle was left atop Sheila's body and a member of the team which took part in the training exercise handled the weapon whilst it was on Sheila's body activating the trigger not thinking that anyone had checked and made it safe. It now turns out that one of the original members of the raid team which forced entry into the premises at around 7:30am (PS Woodcock) removed the rifle and made it safe at around 11.15am. If true no-one had previously checked to see if the gun was in a safe condition, unless you accept what DI Cook had to say about how the rifle in photograph 23 ended up to be leaning against the bedroom window? If what Cook says took place regarding how the rifle transmigrated from Sheila's body to the bedroom window is true, then what Woodcock says happened is not true. If the rifle was not made safe, or checked to see if it was still loaded until 11:15am, by Woodcock, then Cook has lied, or and he handled the rifle on Sheila's body at a time when it still could have been loaded. If Cooks version of events is true, did he shoot Sheila whilst in the process of moving her right hand and arm upon and around the gun? Did he shoot Sheila whilst removing the rifle from her body to stand it against the bedroom window?
Worse still...
If Cook removed the rifle from Sheila's body and placed it against the bedroom window, who put it back onto Sheila's body, in time for Woodcock to come along and make the rifle safe at 11:15am?
There is another twist...
According to PI Montgomery, he removed the rifle from Sheila's body and made it safe...
So, it begs the question, did Montgomery accidentally shoot Sheila whilst he was removing the rifle from atop Sheila's body?
One thing remains clear, and that is depending upon which version of events you choose to believe, the rifle was removed from Sheila's body on no less than three separate occasions, by Cook, Montgomery and Woodcock. All three were present at the scene when the training exercises took place and when Sheila was shot for the second time...
Finally...
as if to hit the nail on the head, so to speak, there was and is no mention of any member of the firearms team checking the rifle and making it safe during the initial entry into the premises. It appeares as though the rifle was left well alone by everuone concerned, and perhaps this was why Sheila ended up getting shot for the second time, long after she had already been pronounced as being dead by the police surgeon, Dr Craig at 8:44am...
