Establishing who stage managed Sheila's body on the bedroom floor is important and once it has been acknowledged and proven, it renders the convictions unsafe...
This is what Jeremy's defence should be working on, as well as trying to prove the silencer was not fitted to the guns barrel at the time bullet PV/19 ended Sheila's life...
According to this journalists notes from the time of the murder/trial the body of Sheila was found on the bed, with the bible and rifle. Misprint or what?
When armed police got inside the house four hours later, they discovered the carnage. In the kitchen they found Ralph Bamber's body in a chair beneath the mantelpiece, with eight gunshot wounds. A pathologist later gave evidence he had first been shot and then badly beaten around the head before being "calculatedly" dispatched with four shots to the head.
Upstairs they found his wife June, shot seven times, initially in bed. She had been finished off with two shots to the head, one between the eyes, as she attempted to escape. Mr Arlidge underlined the tragedy with pregnant pauses as he outlined how the twins had been murdered as they slept in their beds, both shot in the head at close range.
In the same room as June, police found Sheila Caffell, lying on the bed with a Bible and a .22 Anschütz semi-automatic rifle lying on her, the barrel pointing towards her head.
