Ok if we accept Dr Craig being a police surgeon, someone holding such a high position, yet he can't tell if a person is dead or not?
On the version given in his name, he did not perform a physical examination, he pronounced her as being dead simply by a cursory glance, and noted a wound to her neck! That's not very professional by anyones standards! I know that when Ewen Smith had been to see Dr Craig that Ewen was very concerned about Sheila only having a single wound when Craig viewed her body and pronounced her dead without examining her physically! But Ewen told me that Dr Craig was in poor health and he did not think he was fit enough or well enough to attend an Appeal Hearing should the matter be referred to the court of appeal, or words to that effect! Prior to Craig attending the scene, police officers had already declared her dead on two occasions, once in the kitchen at 7.35am, and secondly upstairs on the bed in the main bedroom at around 8.30am! On both of these occasions Sheila had only been shot once! Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that when Craig pronounced her dead, he only noted one bullet wound to her throat at 'that' stage! It is worth noting also that by the time the second team of SOCO took control of the scene in the main bedroom, that rigor mortis had not set in by 10am, because according to Cooks trial testimony he moved Sheila's hand and her right arm so that PC Bird could fingerprint the bloodied fingermarks on Sheila's nightdress! Jeremy would have needed to have killed everyone by around 3am, if he had been the killer, and you would expect rigor mortis to have set in by 10am, 7 hours later, but it hadn't, and no-one comments about an absence of it on any of the bodies! No-one even comments about the body temperature of the victims at the time of discovery, or even at the stage where the police surgeon pronounced death of the victims (8.44am). It takes 10 hours for a corpse to reach the ambient temperate of the place it is found in...
Cops avoided any information which might shed light on the actual time of Sheila Caffells death!
They even introduced the second SOCO team after 10 am, by which stage blood from the second fatal under the chin shot at 9.13am, had coagulated sufficiently to support the claim that she had not just died very recently! But the whole set up was nothing but a hoax! The body of Sheila Caffell was staged, her suicide was faked, not by Jeremy Bamber, but by the cops. Top brass was inside the main bedroom when the shot (PV/20) thundered out of the rifles barrell under Sheila's chin and lodged itself in her brain! Top brass dropped a huge clanger, tampering with the crime scene, staging it, and getting a second SOCO team in to photograph the staged bedroom as though that was how it had been discovered two and a half hours previously!
But, it was all a lie..
