Why Bamber pulled Sheila's feet forward two feet after the fatal shot:

[Adam]

Everyone agrees with the 2002 appeal, that Sheila's feet were pulled at least two feet after her fatal shot. Thread already created on this.

One supporter has said Sheila was sitting up against the bedside cabinet when shot. Lifeless seated bodies don't move two feet forward across the floor.

Another supporter agrees Sheila's feet were pulled two feet forward and claims the police did this.

One supporter strangly said it was 'my leg being pulled', which I am not sure what this is supposed to mean.

It is correct after the crime scene photographer arrived, Sheila's arm was moved slightly and pictures of this were taken.

However it is against police protocol to move dead bodies at a crime scene, prior to forensics and photographers arriving. No police have ever said they did this on this case. 

Some supporters have claimed the police were trying to frame Bamber from the first few minutes. Pulling Sheila's feet forward two feet does not assist them in this.

So with the police ruled out, only Bamber is left. But why would he want to do this ?

The answer is simple. It was part of the frame.

He wanted Sheila lying down so he could nicely lay the rifle across her. And then put the bible next to her. 

It would only take a few seconds to do as there was enough room and nothing in the way. He didn't give it a second thought. There were more important issues that night.

He had no idea this would incriminate him further. It didn't. Until 2002

There were a lot of things against police protocol, doesnt mean the abided by

Do you believe the police pulled Sheila's feet forward two feet ?

Why would they do this ?

I am afraid you're contradicting yourself.

Saying Sheila shot herself while sitting up. Although she was lying down when found. Dead seated bodies don't move two feet forward.

I would rather go by Dr Ismail and the 2002 appeal. And you saying Sheila was sitting up. Thanks.

[lookout]

Nobody can remain in a sitting position when dead.They loll to one side As in Sheila's case she'd slithered back with her head just missing the bedside cabinet.

If you had a shade of sense you would realise that I ment she shot herself then fell back. As dead bodies don't sit upright

You go by the 2002 appeal that decided not to submit Ismali's evidence?

520. Our conclusion was that we should not therefore admit the evidence and we have had no regard to it in reaching our conclusion.

Well done

how many times did she shoot herself before falling back

If she had have been pulled down, her nightgown would have gone the opposite way, is their any evidence of prints/dna on her?

not really jb just pulled it down when staging the scene.simple really,jb would be wearing gloves

But how do you move a dead body with such ease, they are heavy you know! plus pull it down and ruffle it as it was? it has to be a one handed operation, one to lift, one to pull the night gown back down, dna would have been left becuase you would have to lean the corpe onto yourself.

i disagree.it was very easy for jb to do .you wouldnt 'have' to lift anything just yank the nightie down with a bit of force

i dont think thats possible with a dead corpse and in my opinion of removing dead corpses, they are far too heavy, they weigh a ton, its not as easy as you think.

Sheila was a slightly built recovering anorexic so I doubt moving her a few inches would have presented any problems for an excited and excitable Jeremy in the grip of his own psychosis.

Still not easy for a single person or move their clothing because a dead weight is on top of it no matter what weight or stature of the individual.
