All the family were shot in a way to enure a kill. Sheila was not; her wounds may not have been fatal.
A killer would have made sure, not by shooting her in the throut. There is enough doubts in this case for Jeremy to have had the benefit

We do not know that there were hours between the two shots to Sheila.

That argument could be applied to all the other killings - how many headshots to kill Neville? How much trauma to June before the bullet to the forehead?

Anybody wonder why not a single shot appears to have missed the target, okay fair enough for the ones at point blank range to a sleeping victim, but what about the shots to Nevill and June?

Yes good point, it does concern me that the children received overkill and grouped execution style head shots.

June got one right between the eyes (lucky maybe!).

And Nevill received a group of headshots as well (including a fight and battering).

No misses!

This was definitely an overkill murder making sure no one would live (or talk)!

This leaves Sheila. If it was a premeditated murder intended to pin the blame on her, the killer (or killers)could not "overkill" her - it had to be precise and in the only possible way with a rifle. The initial "suicide" shot made by the killer fragmented and did not kill her in the intended way, hence the need for a second more clinical shot!

I would be interested to know the angle the rifle would have had to be to deliver the first non fatal shot to Sheilas throat?

The fatal shot was made under her chin straight up in to her brain, I believe.  In my limited experience  in this field, I believe the usual way is with a barrel in the mouth.

(please accept my apologies if this clarity offends anyone).

I realise that the way Sheila was shot; could have been made to look like suicide
