It matters little as to the order in which the photos were taken. Only the police first responders and the culprit himself know where the rifle originally lay. Jeremy must be raging that he cannot add his tuppence worth to this for fear of incriminating himself.
On the contrary, it does matter where the rifle was, at all times, especially after Sheila placed it at one of the upstairs window, where it remained without anyone touching it until 9.13am, when during a training exercise, otherwise known as ' familiars', the rifle was brought from the window upstairs to Sheila's body, which only had one gunshot wound to the neck by that stage. Cops had moved Sheila's body from the bed to the floor, the rifle was placed on her body and it discharged the second shot which killed her. The rifle was then put near the main bedroom window until after PC Bird photographed it there (as per photograph 23 of negative strip 0012). After PC Bird took 'that' photograph (23) the rifle was brought from the window by cops and positioned onto Sheila's body, and by around 10.20am, PC Bird took 8 photographs of the rifle on Sheila's body (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32, on negative strip 0034). Cops staged Sheila's death scene, then photographed the scene, and used the photographs dishonestly to convict Jeremy of the murders. That can't be right, it can't be legal, cops didn't explain to the court which tried the matter that it was they who had put the rifle from the upstairs window onto Sheila's body, and then took the photographs. The court was 'deceived' into accepting that Sheila's body had been left well alone after its first discovery by armed cops who entered the farmhouse soon after 7.30am, and not even the police surgeon, Dr Craig had been allowed to touch her body at 8.44am. Cops told the court that it was DI 'Ron' Cook who had first handled the rifle from Sheila's body at 11.10am, at which stage he said that he had handed the rifle to PI Montgomery (firearm officer) to check it, and make it safe. Cook said, 'he' had then placed the rifle at the bedroom window where PC Bird had photographed it (23, negative strip 0012), but we now know Cook lied, and deceived the court about that, and we also know that PC Bird aided him in deceiving the court about the time he had taken photograph 23 (negative strip 0012), stating that he had photographed the rifle at the bedroom window (23, negative strip 0012) after he had photographed Sheila's body in possession of the rifle, as per photographs, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 (negative strip 0034). We have now found out that PC Bird came clean about the order with which he had photographed the rifle at the main bedroom window, and on Sheila's body, by making a new witness statement to the COLP investigators on the 31st January, 2001, when he had to tell the truth or be damned. At that stage, the truth relating to the fact that cops staged Sheila's death scene on the bedroom floor became common knowledge for the very first time (fifthteen and a half years later), that Jeremy Bamber 'had not afterall' placed the anshuzt rifle onto his sisters body with her on the bedroom floor, in order to fool cops into thinking that his sister had taken her own life. It wasn't Jeremy after all that tried to trick cops, it was all part and parcel of what the cops themselves had done, so it beggars belief how anyone can say that Jeremy almost got away with the perfect murders, by staging his sisters death on the bedroom floor so that police would accept that she had killed the others, then killed herself. He hadn't staged his sisters body at all, how could he have with the rifle that supposedly killed the others and then herself having been offered up at one of the first floor windows at 7.15am, where it remained until 9.13am. Cops had five dead victims inside the farmhouse by 8.10am, and setting the serious discrepancy to one side as to whether by that (8.10am) time, Sheila's body was downstairs, or upstairs, the fact still remains that the only rifle found upstairs by cops was the one at an upstairs window, how could Sheila have been dead by 'that' (8.10am) stage? The simple truth is that she couldn't possibly have been dead by 'that' (8.10am) time. How had she died? The rifle which had been at an upstairs bedroom window could not by that stage have also been with Sheila's body, either downstairs, or upstairs. She hadn't shot herself, and she hadn't killed herself by 'that' time, and Jeremy certainly could not have shot her either downstairs in the kitchen, or upstairs on the bed, or the floor and staged her body to fake her suicide, what with? Let's ignore the fact that Sheila was downstairs in the kitchen (7.37am, onward until just after 8.10am), or upstairs on the bed from around 8.30am, until just before 9.13am. Let's go with Sheila's body always having been on the bedroom floor with two shotgun wounds to her neck. How could Jeremy have tried to fake her death on the bedroom floor with the rifle that fired 'both' (ha, ha, ha) shots leaning against a window in another room? Get a life, or get a grip of yourselves, it didn't happen, and it couldn't have happened like the cops said it had happened. They made it up, and what they did has now been fully exposed. But the big question remains. Ask yourselves why cops did what they did, and rather than 'fess up to what they had done, and why, they chose to frame Jeremy Bamber as the killer. They tampered with Sheila's body, moved the rifle from the window onto the body, tampered with the order with which key photographs were taken, tampered with the ballistics, tampered with the hand swabs, tampered with the silencer, etc, etc, etc. The whole god damn case that cops built in order to frame Jeremy as the killer is rotten to the core...
