The police believed it and so do I. Not far fetched at all. The only trouble is no one seems to be able to accept the plain evidence before them? It points to Sheila what ever state she was found in. IF the police reveal what was really found that day then possibly the fact that Sheila did it may not seem too far fetched? The great difficulty is that they have witheld so much evidence from what was truly found at the scene that day and the other problem is that the evidence they have released simply does not add up. The question we ought to be asking is "What did the police REALLY find that day?"
Hi Lugg, I’m not referring to what the police initially believed. And I agree that the initial scene is not that farfetched (but still inaccurate

).
I am referring to theories like Sheila barking like a dog down the phone – Sheila moving around the house with one wound (a missed suicide shot to her throat) and then killing herself later – Nevill leaving Sheila with a gun to make a phone call at c. 3am in the morning – I find these farfetched.
Unfortunately there is no
plain evidence suggesting Sheila did it, or the defence would have it before an appeal court, and no doubt JB released.
The suggestion of a police cover up remains that – a suggestion, a theory, but so far (27 years later) unfounded!
I do appreciate the EP treatment of the case was a disaster – and that is, I believe, agreed by most parties (probably even EP)!
However; there are imo aspects of this case that strongly suggest it was carried out by a man, and that to me, by default, points to JB.
