Another glaring discrepancy, is the exhibit reference given to the anshuzt rifle (DRH/15), since DC Hammersley was not the first witness to handle it! On the official version of events told in the tale by DI 'Ron' Cook, he it was who removed the said rifle from Sheila's body, he it was who showed PI 'Ivor' Montgomery the rifle, and it was 'Ron' Cook who stood the anshuzt rifle at the main bedroom window! The rifle should not have been given the exhibit reference of DRH/15, its a deception introduced to fool people into thinking the rifle was on Sheila's body undisturbed until after 10 am when DC Hammersley took possession of it from Sheila Caffells body!
How can this be true, when Cook testified during the trial that he took possession of the rifle from Sheila Caffells body?
This matter is further highlighted as a fraud, because the second team of SOCO (Cook, Bird, Davidson and Hammersley) did not take control of the scene until after 10am - you will remember what the police surgeon, Dr Craig said about the position of the rifle at 8.44am, with Sheila's body 'on the far side of the bed', with what appeared to be a rifle alongside her body! Somebody, therefore must have placed that rifle onto Sheila's body after the police surgeon Craig viewed the body and the rifle alongside it! Then we had the Commander of the firearms Operation, PS Adams who at 9am visited the main bedroom and saw the body of Sheila Caffell, minus the rifle! Again, somebody from amongst the police contingent must have placed that rifle onto Sheila Caffells body after PS Adams left the main bedroom! Then we had DS 'Stan' Jones, and DC 'Mick' Clark, who both visited the main bedroom scene and saw the bodies of Sheila and June both laid out on top of the bed with the said rifle on the bed inbetween both bodies! Again, somebody in the police contingent must have ploaced the said rifle onto Sheila's body after Jones and Clark both left the main bedroom! Then we had the Coroners officer, PC Wright who visited the main bedroom and saw Sheila Caffells body at 9.30am, he states that the rifle had already been removed from Sheila's body by that stage! So, once again, somebody from amongst the police contingent must have plonked that rifle onto Sheila Caffells body after PC Wright first saw Sheila's body at 9.30am...
By 10am, the anshuzt rifle, which had not been on Sheila's body at either 8.44am (Craig), 9am (Adams), 9.10am (Jones and Clark), and 9.30am (PC Wright) was now firmly with Sheila Caffells body, and PC Bird photographed it there on the footing that is where it had originally been found undisturbed! Cook lied about the sequence with which he was involved in removing the anshuzt rifle for the very first time it was taken off Sheila's body! Cook did not arrive at the scene until 9.20am, and already by that stage we know that the rifle was not on the body by reference to Dr Craig, PS Adams, and Jones and Clarks accounts! We also know that Cook deliberately lied by claiming he had moved the rifle from Sheila's body to the main bedroom window, as shown by photograph no. 23, because that photograph was taken before Cook even set foot inside the main bedroom, and it wasn't taken by PC Bird, it was taken by members of the first SOCO team, Oakey or Henderson!
A total of three different officers claim to have removed the anshuzt rifle from Sheila Caffells body and made it safe! (1) PI Montgomery, (2) Ron Cook, and (3) PS Woodcock...
Hence why the said rifle should never have been given the exhibit reference of DRH/15, because DC Hammersley did not remove the rifle from Sheila's body, he did not handle it originally, others did, other cops handled it, checked it, repositioned it with the body on several occasions during 'informatives'...
