Hello Nickos. You speak of Sheila being anxious. I don't see her as being so. I believe she HAD been. I think during that time of silent withdrawal she was seeing/imagining where her life was likely to go and it MAY have terrified her. I think she may have embarked on a certain course of action with icy, emotionless calm.
“Anxious” is my slant on the term Nevill is supposed to have use. I believe the terms crazy / berserk have been levelled at Sheila on the night.
Not only can I not see Sheila casually reloading the magazine twice, I cannot see Sheila reloading the magazine at all.
What reason did Sheila have to kill Nevill in such an protracted way.
Sheila has been accused of;
1) Shooting Nevill 3/4 times in the Bedroom (2 chin, 1 shoulder 1 arm) 1 shot possibly on the stairs – all hit
2) Then moving to the kitchen to beat Nevill either before or after delivering 4 kill shots
3) Or Nevill was uninjured by the time he got to the kitchen, suggesting 8 shots were delivered to Nevill in the kitchen with a beating occurring before or after the shots
4) Sheila has then got time to heat up the rifle and burn Nevill 3 times
5) Sheila has also washed and changed
6) Shot herself once in the neck (non fatal)
7) Made her way upstairs and shot herself again
To me at least, an emotionally disturbed person would, if presented with the option of a rifle with 10 bullets in the magazine, shoot her children 4 shots each and then kill herself with one shot.
If Sheila had intended to kill them all, I see a heated moment when all 10 bullets are fired and an emotional wreck, now finding the gun empty, would collapse in a heap.
But no, this hunter woman is almost indestructible in the way she methodically kills/beats them all.
A man did it! imo
