Now, this is also of some significance, because photograph No.25, was the very first photograph which was taken showing the rifle in the possession of Sheila, after the rifle had been brought to her body from the first floor window. You can tell that the position of the barrel in 'DC Oakey' photograph No. 25, is in a different position against the left side of Sheila's neck, as opposed to the position of the same barrel in the photographs taken by PC 'David' Bird. According to PC Bird (SOCO) he was not present when 'DC 'Oakey took photographs, numbered, 24 and 25, so PC Bird would not have seen where 'DC 'Oakey had obtained the rifle from? It is my belief that the said rifle had been resting against the main bedroom window, just prior to 'DC Oakey' having taken photograph 25, it having been placed there at the aforementioned window after Sheila had been shot beneath the point of the chin by use of the rifle. I am prepared to accept that the rifle had been resting against or near to a different first floor window, (possibly, the box room) prior to it being brought to Sheila's body and the fatal shot being discharged. Once the fatal shot had been discharged, it seems somewhat obvious that somebody took the rifle away from Sheila's body and placed it near the main bedroom window, where as I say, 'DC Oakey' collected it from, repositioned it on Sheila's body and that he then took photograph No. 25...
PC Bird had taken photograph No. 23 from a vantage point of the middle landing looking in the direction of the main bedroom window via the door, at a time which fell after Sheila had been killed by use of that rifle, and someone placing it against the main bedroom window. By the same token, PC Bird captured the rifle at the main bedroom window, prior to 'DC 'Oakey removing it from there, and Photographing it on the body of Sheila Caffell as in photograph, No. 25...
When PC Bird (SOCO) took his own photographs showing the rifle with Sheila's body, he adjusted the position of the gun with the body differently as opposed to the position of the rifles barrel resting against the left side of Sheila's neck, so that the end of the rifles barrel was positioned closer to the two wounds to the throat, and more in alignment than 'DC Oakey' photograph 25, which had the barrel resting against the left side of Sheila's neck...
I have therefore, managed to 'sequence' the following three crime scene photographs in the correct order, (23), followed by (25) which in turn led to (26) being taken. Where 23 and 26 were taken by PC 'David' Bird (SOCO), and 25 being taken by 'DC Oakey'...
