Sheila Caffell could not have self inflicted the two bullet wounds in her neck because of the swing involving the rifle, from its set at the time of the first shot, and where it was set at the time of the second shot! Another way of approaching this subject would be to fathom out why the first shot did not end Sheila Caffell's life,  a shot she fired across her neck rather than upward into her head? If recoil had occurred, how remarkable then then once the first shot gets inflicted that the gun should fall flat against her body and that the fatal shot should then get inflicted? It doesn't make sense ..

At the time of the non fatal shot across the neck (had it been self inflicted) her hand / fingers would have activated the trigger mechanism from beneath the rifle, yet the position of her right hand is photographed on top of the trigger mechanism!  It is unlikely that the rifle not only plunged from a horizontal position at the time of the across the neck shot to it being flush with the body, but it would have needed to rotate 180° for her hand to end up on top pf the trigger mechanism...
