PC Collins peered in through the kitchen window and reported seeing the dead body of a female behind the door! Upon entry being forced into the farmhouse, and in particular entry into the kitchen, PC Collins said that the body he originally reported being a dead female turned out to be the body of a dead male, Neville Bamber! This explanation does not sit well with the now known facts! Here are some of the inconsistencies with PC Collins account...
(1) He saw Shela's body 'behind one of the doors from his vantage point outside the kitchen window looking inward'. There were only two internal kitchen doors capable of fitting his description of her body being behind one of these doors, namely the doorway at the bottom of the spiral staircase in the corner of the kitchen, or the laundry room / kitchen door (but if the body was behind either of these two doors, the body could not be described as being present in the kitchen, because the body would have had to be outside the boundaries of the kitchen) PC Collins could not see any of the other two doors, one which opened inward of the kitchen from the back passageway, and the other toward the passageway leading to the front main stairs. If there had been a female body in the kitchen as described by PC Collins as viewed by him from outside the kitchen window looking inward then the body in question could not (as it turned out) have been reference to Neville Bambers body in the kitchen which was never behind any kitchen door when viewed from PC Collins vantage point outside the window looking in!
(2) Neville's body was neither behind or in front of any kitchen door when viewed (if it was possible at all to see his body) and if viewed by PC Collins via the kitchen window! His body was photographed slumped over an overturned chair with his head in a metal coal bucket at the left corner of the red painted aga mantelpiece surround..
(3) the relevant portion of police messages which cover the sighting of the dead female, when viewed in the kitchen by PC Collins from outside the kitchen window are missing (rather conveniently)! The first messages that show a true record of messages that were past, commence after the TFG had already entered the kitchen, and in all of these messages reference is made to the presence of two bodies being present inside the kitchen when cops entered the kitchen (not one body) 'the body of one dead male, and the body of one dead female, found on entry to kitchen' (7.37am) 'one dead male, one dead female' (7.38am) 'contact the police surgeon and Coroner's officer regarding two bodies' (7.42am) 'police are dealing with an incident at whf, involving a murder, and a suicide' (7.45am) - how can PC Collins explanation regarding a mix up involving one body be sorted out once the TFG entered the kitchen, yet thereafter messages are still being passed detailing a presence of two dead bodies, one male, one female, one a murder, the other a suicide? How can Neville Bambers death have been described as a suicide? Reference to a female body in the kitchen falls after mention already of the presence of a dead male (the body of the dead male must be reference to Neville Bamber), and the additional reference to the body of a female, a reference to Sheila Caffell. Neville Bambers death reported as a murder, and Sheila Caffells death being reported as a suicide! Therefore, there was no mix up involving only one body described as the body of one dead male, and the body of one dead female, a mistake only rectified once PC Collins got into the kitchen! His explanation makes no sense, it doesn't ring true! This is because Neville Bambers death can only be described as a murder, you would be very hard pressed to convince anybody that he committed suicide (shot 8 times)...
And then of course, by 8.10am, only a further three bodies upstairs in the bedrooms..
