Mystery Solved - left handed Sheila did fire the Anshuzt rifle!

[lookout]

We do know, the CS pictures are on the forum. TJ didn't stick around, he went to play golf.

Like I said, he'd seen it all before so left the formalities and paperwork to his second in command after de-briefing. What we haven't seen is what he wrote concerning 4 murders and a suicide. Have you ?

[mike tesko]

What was the first thing Jeremy asked for on his first vist to WHF after the murders?

He'd seen a 5 murder domestic before had he?  I don't think TJ 'profiled' anything - he saw the gun on Sheila and junped to the conclusion that Jeremy wanted. This cannot have been true, because Jeremy simply could not have played any part in the placement of the anshuzt rifle on top of Sheila Caffell's body on the main bedroom floor, after somebody had rolled Sheila's body into the recovery position upon it's right side immediately after the second fatal shot was received. It was whilst Sheila's body was on its right side that the triangular Bloodstaining was produced in the region of her right shoulder / armpit, and of course, with her body resting on its side the rifle could not have remained glued to her sideways on body, and would have needed to be put back on top of Sheila's body once somebody rolled her body back into the suppine position, and somebody must have made sure that the right hand of Sheila was close to the trigger mechanism, with the muzzle end of the rifles barrel nestling neatly close to the two bullet entry wounds on her neck! The person(s) who could have done these things could not have included Jeremy Bamber and it is an impossibility for him to have been one of the people who stage managed Sheila Caffell's death scene, there on the main bedroom floor in possession of the gun which had fired the crucial second and the instantaneously fatal shot! There is an abundance of facts which put the responsibility for Sheila Caffell's death at the feet of the police themselves! Sheila's body couldn't have been laid on the main bedroom floor clutching the rifle to her body, with two bullet wounds in her neck from before the time that the occupants of CA07 arrived at the scene (3.48am) - this is because there exists a cartload of evidence placing Sheila's body in other parts of the house, believed to be dead, believed to have committed suicide by 7.45am, downstairs in the kitchen, pronounced as being dead by Dr Craig at 8.44am at a time when her body was 'on the far side of the bed', then Sheila was laid on top of the bed, with a Bible on her chest and only one bullet wound by that stage to her neck, with the rifle resting on the bed in-between the bodies of June Bamber and Sheila! How was it possible, for Sheila to have been laid there on that bedroom floor, in possession of the rifle with two bullet holes to her neck from as long ago as 3.48am, when the rifle which eventually found its way onto Sheila's body was resting at a first floor box room window at the time the firearm officers commenced their approach to enter the premises at just before 7.30am, with nobody that mattered in the judicial process bothering to question how that rifle managed the transition from a first floor box room window, into the possession of Sheila Caffells body at some time between 7.15am and 9.00am?

How can Essex police blame Jeremy for making them stage Sheila Caffell's death scene on the parents bedroom floor, when by reference to police accounts and witness testimony and or knowledge, Sheila's body had been reported as dead, downstairs in the kitchen from as early as 7.35am, dead upstairs on the far side of the parents bed at 8.44am, dead with only one bullet entry wound to her neck right up until just after 9.05am with her body laid on top of the parents bed, with a Bible placed on her chest at that stage, only to wind up being dead ultimately on the bedroom floor by now with two bullet entry wounds to her neck, the rifle on top of her body where the Bible had previously been resting?

At the heart of this shambolic police operation, lies a group of senior officers, firearm officers who entered the farmhouse, and the first team of two SOCO's who took photographs and video footage with the bodies in situ, in various positions, whilst senior officers practiced 'informatives', which to my understanding in the circumstances of this case, were designed to try and find an alternative explanation to account for how where and when Sheila Caffell had taken her own life?

It had nothing to do with Jeremy making the police believe what he wanted them to find, all that is just plain nonsense!

Jeremy had nothing to do with the struggle that ensued downstairs in the kitchen as officers were trying to force their way in, Jeremy didn't shoot Sheila across the neck which caused the police to think that she was dead!

Jeremy had nothing to do with the disappearance of Sheila from the kitchen downstairs, onto the bed upstairs in the parents bedroom!

Jeremy could not have played any role whatsoever in moving Sheila's body from off the bed to the floor, or the second shot which did finally kill Sheila off! How could he have possibly been involved in the shooting dead of his sister when only the police were present inside the farmhouse at the time she died...

Remember that upon being told by PS Saxby that all of his family were dead inside the farmhouse, how Jeremy had accused the men carrying guns who had gone to enter the house must have shot them all!

Jeremy wasn't blaming Sheila for anything, he was blaming the deaths of his entire family on the police!

The truly ironic thing is, if the truth be known, the firearm officers were responsible for the first shot that penetrated across Sheila's neck which caused the police to report her death downstairs' in the kitchen from as early as 7.35am - Jeremy was as close to the truth as any body could have been when he complained to PS Saxby that the men carrying guns who had gone toward the house had shot dead his family, because they were involved in the initial shooting of Sheila downstairs in the kitchen! It had already happened, and that's one of the reasons why Jeremy's complaint was not investigated properly or at all!

It's a very serious complaint when anybody accuses a firearms officer of shooting dead anyone, but Essex police didn't even bother to investigate any part of Jeremy's complaint, instead they set about covering it up!

 

[mike tesko]

It had been PS Saxby who had relayed the key police radio messages timed at 7.35am, 7.37am, 7.38am, 7.42am  and 8.10am, duties he had completed by the time he left his patrol car (CA07) and went to speak to Jeremy who was sat in his astra motor vehicle to break the news to him...

'two bodies found downstairs in the kitchen upon entry, and a further three bodies found upstairs, five dead in total'...

It therefore must follow that Sheila's body was still present downstairs in the kitchen at the exact time that PS Saxby was telling Jeremy the bad news...

One dead male, one dead female in kitchen upon entry'..

A murder, and a suicide, by 7.45am

The other three bodies found upstairs by 8.10am...

Sheila was the female body being referred goat these key crucial times! She was supposed to have committed suicide by 7.45am, but if this were true how then did her body end up upstairs on top of the bed by 8.44am?

So, in a nutshell..

Sheila Caffell's body wasn't even anywhere in any upstairs bedroom at the time Jeremy was telling PS Saxby, that he believed that the men carrying the guns who had gone into the farmhouse must have shot dead all of his family, including them having shot Sheila!

However, and let's put the timing of Jeremy's complaint to PS Saxby at around 8.15am, it was almost certainly just after PS Saxby had passed the 8.10am police radio message inwhich he confirmed that a further three bodies had been found upstairs, five dead in total...

By 7.45am (half an hour or so earlier) police were talking in terms of Sheila Caffell's death downstairs in the kitchen, as a suicide, and so Sheila must have sustained the initial shot by that time! The earliest timed police message is timed at 7.35am in which there is mention of two dead bodies, the body of a man, and the body of a woman (not the body of a man mistaken for a woman)...

Now...

If Sheila did get shot across the neck downstairs in the kitchen, and was believed to have died, which for one reason or another got put down as a suicide by 7.45am, why was it felt necessary to cut everything that had occurred out of the official events prior to 8.44am, as if had never happened? That is a matter which Essex police will have to answer themselves!

In any event we know that at 8.10am, that Sheila's body was not upstairs, but that by 8.44am, it was!

[mike tesko]

What happened during that vital 34 minute period between 8.10am and 8.44am, in order for Sheila Caffell's body which had originally been present downstairs in the kitchen, to somehow materialise upstairs inside the parents bedroom, and end up 'on the far side of the bed', as confirmed by Dr Craig?

Something went wrong for sure...

Because by 8.10am there exists confirmation that the firearms team who entered the farmhouse had found a total of five dead bodies, two bodies downstairs in the kitchen (the body of one dead male, and the body of one dead female) and a further three bodies found upstairs (this can only have been a reference to June Bamber and the two Child victims)..

If I am not mistaken, this contradiction requires a full explanation from Essex police...

What we do know, is that for one reason or another, from about 8.15am onward, that leadership of the firearms operation changed in somewhat mysterious circumstances at around this time. For example, where prior to this PS Adams had been designated Commandership of the operation, at around 8.15am he was suddenly and without reason removed from his post, and PI Montgomery took the leadership because of developments which had cropped up inside the farmhouse after 8.10am...

There is little doubt in my mind that this change in Leadership of the firearms operation at around 8.15am, onwards arose in connection with t'he disappearance of Sheila Caffell's body from the kitchen' downstairs, which ended up 'on the far side of the bed' by 8.44am...

Many people who are genuinely interested at finding out the actual truth in this matter, often as me what I mean when I say that after 8.10am that Sheila's body simply vanished as if into thin air from the kitchen, and wound up on the far side of the bed in the parents bedroom by 8.44am at the latest?

They ask me whether Ian suggesting that the police carried her body from the kitchen to the bedroom, and did the Poli e place her body on the bed? Well, no they didn't carry her body from the kitchen downstairs to the parents bedroom upstairs, why would the police do that if Sheila had really been found shot dead in the kitchen by her own hand (suicide), they'd have no reason to move a dead body from one place to another place and then claim that they had found the body where they had placed it last! The true answer is that despite the police believing that Sheila had died as a result of having been shot for the first time into the neck, she was in fact still alive! She was simply unconscious and recovered sufficiently to make the shirt trip up a small set of spiral stairs to the landing above and the doorway to the parents bedroom. I do not claim to know exactly how long it had taken Sheila to get from one place downstairs to the other place upstairs but it was a relatively short journey distance wise! There was the added comfort also of the stairs she used being confined where she might have rested for a while at the bottom, half way up, or maybe even once she reach the top!

It is not difficult to imagine, that once the shout had gone out that Sheila Caffell's body had gone AWOL from the kitchen after 8.10am, that firearms officers in different parts of the farmhouse were put back into alert mode, and many of them may have started to make their way cautiously back downstairs toward the kitchen retracing their steps...

At this time, Sheila was concealed in the confined spiral staircase until she felt confident enough that the coast was clear which enabled her to skip the latch of the door at the top of the stairs and enter her parents bedroom, only for her to collapse onto the bed and go into a resumed unconsciousness. The police eventually found her there at about 8.30am, and all the while DCI Harris was on the telephone in the kitchen keeping AAC Peter Simpson updated regarding the renewed search looking for Sheila Caffell's whereabouts. At 8.44am, Dr Craig arrived and pronounced Sheila as being dead, her body at this stage 'on the far side of the bed', she had one bullet wound to her neck at that time!

Dr Craig stated that the rifle was not on Sheila's body at this time, it was laying alongside her body!

Like I said, he'd seen it all before so left the formalities and paperwork to his second in command after de-briefing. What we haven't seen is what he wrote concerning 4 murders and a suicide. Have you ?

I see and all this was after he'd profiled the scene?  Had he 'seen it all before' he'd have known enough not to make a snap decision.

By the way Lookout, the British police force didn't do offender profiling in 1985. It was used in 1985 but it wasn't carried out by the police. They used a psychologists one of the most influential was/is Professor David Canter who helped identify and catch John Duffy - The Railway Rapist. Abother famous case is that of Rachel Nickel - that case drew the short straw with Paul Britton and we all know what happened there!

[mike tesko]

The simple truth of this matter, was (a) that Sheila Caffell's body had only a single bullet wound to her neck at the time Dr Craig pronounced her as being dead at 8.44am, (b) that there was still only a single bullet entry wound to Sheila's neck by the time Stan Jones and Mick Clark had viewed Sheila's body insitu laid on top of the bed after 9.05am, but (c) before 9. 30am Sheila had been wounded by the infliction of a second bullet wound in the neck which was the cause of her death!

The Coroner's Officer, PC Wright confirming that by the time he viewed Sheila Caffell's body insitu at about 9.30am, that she had already been shot twice at that stage...

There is more, since Ron Cook (second SOCO team involved in the cover up) arrived at the scene at around 9.20am, and went into the farmhouse and viewed Sheila Caffell's body soon afterwards, and he confirms that when he saw Sheila Caffell's body that she had two bullet entry wounds to her neck!

This presents us with the following described facts concerning the total number of shots which Sheila Caffell could have received / sustained at the following key times of this shooting tragedy:-

7.35am - Sheila had been shot once, across the neck
7.37am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck
7.38am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck
7.42am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck
7.45am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck, her death being proclaimed to be by way of a suicide!

All these references relate to information contained in timed police radio message logs which place Sheila Caffell's body downstairs in the kitchen!

8.44am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck, her body is now upstairs 'on the far side of the bed'
9.05am - Sheila had been shot once across the neck, her body is laid on top of the bed, with a Bible on her chest
9.20am - Sheila now had two bullet wounds to her neck, the rifle is on her body which is now on the floor
9.30am - Sheila has two bullet entry wounds to her neck, the rifle had already been removed from the body

9.00 am - 10.00am 1st SOCO team take hundreds of photographs  (300+) covering the practice of 'informatives'
11.00am - onwards 2nd SOCO team photograph Sheila's body insitu, as staged by senior officers

11.00am - onwards 2nd SOCO team photograph Sheila's body insitu, as staged by senior officers

What this informs all of us, is that 'it was the police's who are responsible for the death not Sheila Caffell, upstairs on the parents bedroom floor, as a result of a training exercise (known as 'informatives') which went dramatically wrong due to no-one bother to check whether or not the anshuzt rifle that was brought from its resting place leaning against the inside of a first floor box room window, into the main bedroom and put with Sheila Caffell's body for the purpose of trying to stage her death there (and not downstairs in the kitchen) as a suicide. It was a catastrophic decision in view of the rifle still having a live round in its chamber, which was fired whilst senior officers were contemplating whether it might be feasible to suggest that the shot across the neck could have been fired by the anshuzt rifle, rather than the other gun ( a .22 rifle which police recovered downstairs in the kitchen which no officer was to talk about in their notebook entries, their reports or their witness statements)!

The circumstances involving the shooting of Sheila Caffell was something of an entanglement and a somewhat convoluted affair! She was dead downstairs in the kitchen, she had committed suicide there, but she wasn't dead afterall, she hadn't committed suicide downstairs, yes she had been shot and wounded but had only been unconscious and had recovered sufficiently enough to make the short journey from the kitchen downstairs, to the bed in her parents bedroom above via a set of enclised spiral stairs! Worse still, although she made it there and after collapsing into unconsciousness again, she was pronounced as being dead at 8.44am by Dr Craig, albeit she was not dead at that time either! Sheila Caffell was alive until very shortly after 9.05am, by which time the two ambulances and crew had left the vicinity. It appears that nobody at all performed a physical examination of Sheila's body to see whether or not there were any vital signs of life...

Alive she was at 9.05am and very shortly afterwards when Stan Jones and Mick Clark visited the main bedroom and viewed her body, she looked so peaceful commented Stan Jones when he had seen Sheila laid on top of the bed with a Bible on her chest. The rifle at this time was resting on the bed in-between the bodies of Sheila and June Bamber, and then within minutes Jones and Clark exited the bedroom to go with Jeremy Bamber to his cottage do that they could obtain a witness statement from him...

By 9.20am with the arrival of Ron Cook at the scene, we know that Sheila had been shot twice in the neck when he viewed the body of Sheila which was by this stage in possession of the anshuzt rifle!

Cook was followed by the coroner's officer, pC Wright who arrived at the scene at 9.30am, he confirming that when he viewed Sheila's body insitu on the bedroom floor,vtyat Sheila already had two bullet entry wounds to her neck, confirming Ron Cooks account other than Cook said Sheila was holdingbtge rifle close to her body, whereas Wright stated that by 9.30am the rifle had already been removed from Sheila's body by the time (9.30am) he viewed Sheila's body!

[mike tesko]

This information is being misused by the police and it's supporters, into trying to suggest that there had been something of a mistake whereby the sighting of a body from outside the kitchen window was reported as that of a dead female, when upon entry to the kitchen this body was found to be a dead male...

Well, for a start, the contents of the timed police radio message logs do not cover what was done or seen by any of the firearms officers prior to them physically entering the farmhouse, and once they do, the first mention of a body found inside the kitchen upon entry is that of a dead male, and the body of a dead female!

One can see that the faked witness statement contents which makes reference to a mistaken identity of a male body for a female body, is not borne out by reference to the timed log contents once the firearms officers set foot into the kitchen. It is not possible to say with any degree of certainty that an officer did or may have thought the body of Neville Bamber was in fact the body of a dead female which was corrected once the police got into the kitchen, but by paying particular attention to the wording in all the timed messages you can clearly see that there has got to have been two bodies because of the use of the word 'AND' (the body of one dead female)!

If there had been a mistake that mistake might have involved what turned out to be Neville Bambers body mistaken for the body of a dead female, recitified once entry had been made to the kitchen, but that explanation cannot be extended to the reference 'AND, the body of one dead female, because the references to the dead female in the timed police message logs come after the first body had been identified as one dead male body!

[mike tesko]

Even if we were to totally ignore the fact that Sheila's body was the dead female reported to be present in the kitchen upon entry, there still exists the glaring inconsistencies involving the fact that Sheila's body was laid on top of the bed, sporting only one bullet entry wound, she had a Bible on her chest and the rifle was resting on the bed in-between the bodies of Sheila and June Bamber when Stan Jones and Mick Clark visited the main bedroom at just after 9.05am - facts which they recounted to Ann Eaton and the relatives within an hour or so of leaving the main bedroom crime scene!

These facts inform us all that the police faked the crime scene, in particular the death scene of Sheila Caffell on the bedroom floor, the police choosing to stage Sheila's death as a suicide, this had got nothing whatsoever to do with Jeremy Bamber making them believe that Sheila had committed suicide - Jeremy had said no such thing, the opposite is true, poor Jeremy Bamber had accused the police of shooting dead all of his family including his sister Sheila Caffell, when Saxby had broken the news to him that all his family were dead inside  the farmhouse, a fact confirmed by PS Saxby !!!

[mike tesko]

Doesn't anyone wonder why if Ann Eaton and the relatives had been told that Stan Jones and Mick Clark had seen the bodies of Sheila and June laid on top of the bed shortly after 9.05am, with a Bible on Sheila's chest and the gun resting on the bed in-between both bodies,  does not correspond with where the firearms officers said they had first stumbled upon the body of Sheila in possession of the rifle, but her body not being laid on top of the bed, but rather on the bedroom floor, with two bullet entry wounds to her neck, whereas by a reliance upon the Jones / Clark version of the events Sheila had only been shot once in the neck - Why hasn't Ann Eaton or any of these relatives spoken out publicly about any of this?

[mike tesko]

In any event, it can now be shown by reference to the bloodstained straition markings on the lower part of Sheila Caffell's right arm and right wrist area that she had fired the anshuzt rifle - the ejected and bloodstained brass cartridge cases string that part of her arm which acted as an obstruction because Sheila used her right hand to hold the end of the guns barrel, and the fingers of her left hand to activate the trigger! This phenomena can occur when the shooter is using a right handed rifle, but holding the gun on the left side of their body, left handed fingers on the trigger, right hand holding and aiming the rifles barrel...
