Colin said he would have killed June

[lookout]

OK possibly  but she would do more than flop about, she'd walk out of them all the time.  I have experience in such a situation  and she'd be more likely to fall over and break her leg than anything else.  Nevill's feet must have been huge.

Shuffle I should have said.

Exactly, she certainly wouldn't have moved very quickly in them

had Sheila needed to go to the bathroom she would have gone without slippers just bare feet.

I am sure she would.

It was just an idea because of them being in Sheila's bedroom. Neville must have walked around bare-footed when he went to the kitchen ?

I doubt he'd have had time to think about putting his slippers on.

But what were they doing half-hidden under Sheila's bed and not his own room ?

Perfectly obvious if we accept that he was sleeping in Sheila's room that night and for whatever reason, Sheila was in June's room. I don't think they were deliberately half hidden. More like shoved/kicked under the bed haphazardly.

He'd only have been on top of the bed though. Possibly waiting until June had finished her Psalms to Sheila. Until it broke out into a row. Thou Shalt not do this that and the other.

What difference does it make whether he was on the bed or in it? It may be that they were so concerned with Sheila's behaviour that it was decided she should be with June that night.

The difference would have been that the bedclothes would have been turned back and not looking as though it hadn't been slept in.

You know I can't see the scenario of Sheila sleeping with June,knowing how they didn't get on. I'm sure they had seen enough of each other during the day,let alone that Sheila was dog tired that Tuesday night and probably just wanted to flop onto her bed. Maybe the twins put the slippers there as a joke? I also think Jeremy would have studied the family routine on the Sunday and Monday night and Nevill sleeping in Sheila's room would have been a complication.

Or maybe Jeremy put them there, as a sort of sign that no one has been able to pick up on or understand, I think there are a couple of things Jeremy did that night that people were supposed to pick up on and that he thought would make sense if Sheila was guilty.

I don't know how much rearranging of the crime scene Jeremy did after tossing the bible next to Sheila and emptying the money from Nevill's wallet and June's handbag. Didn't Ann Eaton say the shower fitting was off its cradle,suggesting he had washed,and there was a suggestion that he had wiped the gun after a glove came off in order to make Sheila's fingerprints more prominent. Of course all this has been discussed before.

People wonder whether Sheila slept on the bed or in the bed and Jeremy moved the covers back over the bed to make it appear she hadn't gone to sleep yet.  It is a distinct possibility he did so though she could have slept on the covers. Unless Jeremy decides to tell the complete truth we will never know and I don't expect he ever will.
