Police needed at least an hour to an hour and a half to sort out the mess that the firearms operation had turned into...
They foolishly had been wating three and a half hours at the scene before going in to try and deal with a deluded Sheila Caffell, irrespective of whether or not the other four victims had already been shot or killed, since surely the police themselves were never in any danger of being attacked by either of the other four members of the family who were known to be present inside. Now, if by the time of the first arrival at the scene Jeremy Bamber had already murdered everyone, the police would not have held off for as long as they did before going in to end the seige. They would have gone in immediately, but something prevented them from doing so, and that something was born out of the sighting of what was believed to have been a silhoetted figure seen in a bedroom through an upstairs window which had its curtains drawn open, a person seen by two police officers, and Jeremy Bamber himself. A figure which PC Myall had thought was an unidentified male, as compared to Jeremys version of events which was that he couldn't tell whether the person they saw was male, or female. On the other hand, according to PS Bews account, what they had been watching was a trick of light which formed the shape of a person, which stood to one side of the window and walked across it, from one part of the bedroom to the other. My thoughts on these events are that because a light was on somewhere upstairs which back lit the bedroom in question, through a partially opened bedroom door, it would have been very difficult, if not nigh on impossible, for any trick of light to manifest utself upin the outside surface of the bedroom window, producing an image of a standing person at one minute, which turned into a moving image of a person in the next. I think PS Bews acciunt is deliberately bogus, he has made his version up, out of mischief, belueving that if he did not do so, that Jeremy could not have murdered everyone inside tge farmhouse by that time. It's funny how Bews did not think it was a trick of light at the time he saw the figure moving about in tge bedroom, which cause him to become transformed into Najinski and bolt back to the patrol car at champion speed, so that he could pass a message to the control room, requesting that the firearms team be deployed to the scene, and get them to bring some tiolet paper and a clean pair of underwear because he had literally crapped his pants...
Boy, that trick of light dancing on the outside surface of the window must have been some scary trick...
Basically, Bews account was / is complete bullshit, or as the case may be, horse shit...
