Sheila was 27 & should be at her physical peak. However was in a terrible physical condition.

Can only think she would have got worse over the years.

The medical bills would have been expensive. Along with the cost of supporting Sheila, Daniel & Nicholas.

Haloperodal is still in use now. So a miracle cure has not surfaced.

Jeremy in 1985 would not be thinking about miracle cures. To him Sheila would be supported for the rest of her life. Daniel & Nicholas for another 15 years.

I'm told medical professionals believe schizophrenia may abate in old age. I'm sceptical myself and believe she would always have had to rely on anti-psychotic medication for stabilization.

Sheila did have NHS treatment in London, but Nevill frowned upon the service in general.

Seems that Sheila had been seriously ill for 3-4 years. No possibility of a full recovery.

Suspect not. Treatable yes.

I found this:

This rule suggests that about 25% of people with schizophrenia will recover completely from the first episode and go on to have no further problems in their life. A further 25% will be substantially improved with treatment and will go on to recover almost all of their former level of functioning with very few relapse events.

Another 25% of people will improve somewhat but will still need considerable levels of support to function normally and to get them through relapse events which will occur at several intervals in their life. This leaves the final 25% for whom the outlook is not so good. Of these, 15% will lead a chronic course with little or no improvement and involving repeated hospital stays over a prolonged part of their adult life, whilst the final 10% will die usually by their own hand


Of course drug taking greatly makes the situation much worse.

It was also the 1980s when attitudes to mental health were in its infancy. Back then I remember the turn of phrase used was " they are radged" I'm sure anybody south of Derbyshire had a similar expression.

Shelia had the advantage of good mental health care for the time and a strong supportive family unit. Namely her parents.

Friends as well, who were close to her who appeared in the theroux documentary

It's obvious that there is a strong possibility that  Shelias mental health problems formulated in her relationship with her mother.  Due to Ostensibly the latters near obsession with religion

CAL states the " devils child " remark to Shelia by June was the catalyst.

Me personally I am undecided as I believe it could have manifested in other areas in Shelias life as well.

I think you've hit the nail very squarely on its head. Could the voices Sheila heard have been June's strictures, moral and religious threatening and powerful, interrupting her own thought processes? Several years ago I did some work on adopted children who had schizophrenia. I'm not certain what it proved because there was no way of knowing if these children were genetically disposed, but there seems to have been a high degree of cases.

She was in a terrible physical and mental condition -

No balance.

No muscle co ordination.

No strength.

No hand to eye co ordination.

Very docile.

Unable to get off sofas without help. 

Recovering anorexic.

June doing Sheila's shopping.

Involuntary movements.

Unable to do a job.

Long stays inside hospitals.

On Haloperidal. 

No interaction with people.

Looking very small in the crime scene photos.

I think schizophrenia has a genetic element making some people more predisposed to it, the person is often fine until substance/drug abuse brings on the condition.

OR until they're put in a position where their natural inclinations are continually suppressed by a more powerful figure. They may strive very hard to be what's expected of them -I imagine this to be a stronger response in adopted children- but when it comes to nature/nurture, I suspect that, eventually, nature will win, albeit not without a fight. Sadly, this is often the point at which substance/drug/alcohol abuse takes a hold.

Purely speculative.

Shelia mixed and socialised and was able to walk around unaided. She was a former model. She was a regular on the London club scene.

All 100% true, but do we know when she'd last modelled, last been clubbing? It seems there may have been a drastic change since her last breakdown. Colin claims to have not seen her happier since the birth of the boys, when she met with Christine. What happened after Christine left? From what has been said of Sheila during her last fortnight, she sounds as if she'd gone into a downwards spiral.

Ronnie still managed to dish out a few beatings while on his medication.

It is all fact from what people have said.

Yes she was a 'former' model.

Regular on the London club scene? She had no balance, muscle coordination or energy.

Like alcoholics, anorexics are only ever in recovery and just one tiny step away from danger. There is on picture -I imagine it's on here- in which Sheila looks particularly ill and frail.

It's possible, though I doubt Sheila's ideation of herself as Joan of Arc or the Virgin Mary could have stemmed from June, however forceful the castigation of her became. I'm sure there's a genetic component to the illness, which brings me to her father. In one of the books he was supposed to be a low-ranking churchman, in another an industrial cleaner from Surrey.

There's a chapter in Claire Powell's book about the insecurity of the girls in the modelling world. I wonder if Sheila ever aspired to be in that cut-throat world of ever-increasing insecurities, or recognized how false it really was, or maybe she was just dippy and forgot to eat meals at regular times.

Can only think 'well norished' means she had eaten well that day.  Fed by June.

All of her organs would be working. She was 27, alive and not a heavy drinker or smoker.

She was very thin and small going by the crime scene photos. But a recovering rather than an actual anorexic.

Being 'well norished' has no impact on her balance, body and eye co ordination, lack of energy & alertness, strength, involuntary movement, reliant on strong medical drugs issues.

Many drugs do have side-effects, such as weight gain. You only have to look at a pack of Nurofen to read a list of disclaimers as long as your arm.

He doesn't seem to have shared a close relationship with the relatives, So how could he bank on them believing him?

Can be only  option three if used Shelia as a scapegoat, Bamber is thick as pig shit. Or was in 1985.

He himself looking at either an innocent or gulity scenario created the fact that it was either him or his sister had done it. By the phonecall to West. It remains the fact to this day.

If Shelia was indeed out of it as Adam says. Then it is quite frankly stupid in trying to frame her as a killer. From a gulity Bamber perspective.

If this is the case, he wasn't calculating in my opinion. It's more cocky overconfident stupid and reckless

I believe the arson scenario of what Julie suggested he said would have been better for him. Nevill falling asleep with a gin and tonic I think it was and with a lit cigarette.

Yes items lost of value, but I reckon if he had gone down this path is reckon hed be a free if gulity man today.

It would be put down as a tragic accident

Trying to frame someone who is " out of it" if she apparently was and he knew that is madness. In reference to a firearm massacre

He actually didn't need to tell any more than the truth -embroidered, naturally- because the relatives were already aware of Sheila's mental instability.

All criminals think they have. Until convicted.

The opinion of Jeremy by every family member namely the boutflour or Eaton's is that he is a young man who likes money. RWB made emphasis that " he fully understood and new the value of money "

But taking Jeremy off topic for a second

Personally I believe between Nevill Bamber and Robert Boutflour and Peter Eaton there was a business war of somewhat going off. Not do much in rivalry but in terms of jealousy. It's clear that out of the three Nevill was the most successful. I also believe that nevill and RWB didn't have a close and friendly relationship as is made out

None of this ever came to complete fruition because the case was Jeremy Bamber either murdererd his family or his sister did. I'm not as a rule a conspiracy theorist and I call a spade or spade. But I'd bet my house that behind the scenes there something brewing between both sets of families. Mainly on the menfolk side of things

Ironically Jeremy being convicted  has been a blessing in disguise for some parties involved. As crazy as it sounds

I think RWB and NB had been friends since Ag college -the Royal Cirencester- where RWB's father was Principal/Dean. RWB was senior to NB and probably graduated first. He found work on the Speakman farm and when there was an opening for a junior manager, he recommended his friend NB. Eventually, both men went on to marry the Speakman sisters. All was probably well at the beginning, then, as in many relationships, cracks began to show. It may have been about NB having inherited wealth. It may have been about NB's business acumen. It may have been about RWB having children which no amount of wealth could rectify for NB. I imagine these important factors set the seeds of discontent and jealousy in RWB who may have assuaged it by reasoning that NB's wealth would eventually find its way to his family. I think it reasonable to believe his thoughts/beliefs would have been passed on to Ann -very much her father's daughter- who, in turn, would have passed them to her husband, PE.

I believe the arson scenario of what Julie suggested he said would have been better for him. Nevill falling asleep with a gin and tonic I think it was and with a lit cigarette.

Yes items lost of value, but I reckon if he had gone down this path is reckon hed be a free if gulity man today.

It would be put down as a tragic accident

Trying to frame someone who is " out of it" if she apparently was and he knew that is madness. In reference to a firearm massacre

Burning down WHF was a non starter.

Agree it was not impossible for Sheila to load the rifle, let alone do everything else. But that just made her easier to control.

It was then a case of hopeing the likes of AE didn't push things.

OR until they're put in a position where their natural inclinations are continually suppressed by a more powerful figure. They may strive very hard to be what's expected of them -I imagine this to be a stronger response in adopted children- but when it comes to nature/nurture, I suspect that, eventually, nature will win, albeit not without a fight. Sadly, this is often the point at which substance/drug/alcohol abuse takes a hold.

Well, I don't have all the answers but I remain convinced that things don't just happen. There's a reason for everything. The trick is finding it. Whether we believe JB or Sheila to be the culprit, both would have reasons that went back much further than the day's events. The nature/nurture debate is infinite.

She was taken into hospital at the end of February and was there for approximately a month. I doubt she looked as healthy as the woman in the picture when she came out.

Sheila was long past the modeling stage, when she was considerably thinner than she appears in the crime scene photos. There is plenty of meat on her in those pictures. Her face might even be described as a little bit pudgy. The photo of Mabel and Sheila shows that she had recovered from her brief modeling career and had fully regained her physical fitness.

Mabel was bedridden for sometime. This lady actually looks more like Nevill Bamber - how do we know it's not his mother (Beatrice)? That being the case, the picture would be before December 1981.

I don't think Sheila was ever on a mission. She drifted, latched onto things, couldn't hold down a job. Whether these were innate symptoms or exacerbated by schizophrenia is hard to say.

COA:


371.

The complaint under this ground of appeal is that there was in existence material that might have been relevant to Sheila's attitude towards her children in the form of a letter to Nevill Bamber drafted by Sheila's former husband, Colin Caffell (but never sent), shortly after her release from hospital on the 29 March.

That letter expressed his concern about the effect that Sheila's mental condition was having on her ability to look after the two boys properly, to pay attention to their needs and requirements, to get them off to school in time and generally take care of them.

He was also concerned about the influence that Mrs Bamber had upon the two boys. In fact, it appears from the evidence that he gave at trial that he himself was caring for the two children for about 95% of the time.

He was seeking Nevill Bamber's support in convincing Sheila that the boys should continue to stay with him most of the time, and that he should have full control over their well-being. It is to be noted that he and Sheila had joint custody of the children.

Sheila was released from hospital in March 85.

She was not able to look after herself or the twins.

The twins were with Colin 95% of the time and he wanted full control.

June was travelling to London to do Sheila's food shopping.

Colin drove everyone to WHF, where Sheila could be monitored by Nevill and June.

There are many reasons why anorexia takes hold. I recall Karen Carpenter saying she didn't want to feel full before a concert, and sometime she would just forget to eat. It's difficult to know with Sheila exactly what and when she ate. Maybe June's parcels were a way of checking up on her daughter that she was at least receiving some nourishment.

Nevill was taken by surprise and initially bashed over the head and knocked out beside the Aga when Sheila kicked off,and as you know June was shot in bed before she could reclaim the rifle or anything else,once she did get up and grapple with Sheila she was too badly wounded to overpower her,not that June stood much chance anyway against a psychotic Sheila.

Nevill called Bamber at 3.10 once he came to lying against the Aga.

Yet was a model, embarked on a modelling assignment to Japan,  (solo travel) had a social life, went on a few dates with men, was a regular on the London club scene,

Stop making Shelia out to be zombie from people whose recollections are detrimental to Bamber due to personal dislike and monetary reasons, and furthermore are tainted by the wisdom of the event

She was a model years earlier.

Her final few years she could not function without massive financial and medical support from hospitals, Nevill, June & CC.

The twins were not with her.

Shelia had mental health problems

Shelia was at WHF

Shelia had disturbed thoughts

Shelia had displayed these disturbed thoughts. Helen grimster WS is interesting

Thanks Adam so no skill or strength needed. You really are a supporter!

Most killings by people with schizophrenia are of family members, approximately half of which have not been treated for the illness. If we look at killings of strangers approx two thirds of these are have not been treated.

So not sure how you can say Sheila was not capable of carrying out the shootings?

I think that should read "Had once tried her hand at modelling". Her parents paid for her to do a course in which a photo shoot/assignment was included. Had she had what it takes to be as model, more work would have followed. It appears such was not the case. In fact, if we look more deeply into Sheila's accomplishments, there were very few, if any, save for the major one when she produced the twins, albeit, not without an enormous amount of input from the medical profession.

You and Adam have polarized views of who and what Sheila was. Neither of you are entirely wrong, but nor are either of you entirely right.

Colin states she was helping him prepare food the weekend before the massacre. Which does take a modicum of coordination.

We're told Sheila -somewhat reluctantly- agreed to take the boys to WHF only because Colin was taking them to Norway to see his sister and the Bambers had requested the visit prior to them going. Sheila's -well documented-  silence on the journey hardly suggests her being wild with excitement about the visit.

Post by: ILB on September 24, 2023, 11:53:AM

Would that be having or lacking physical mobility, or mental energy?

Recollections of Shelia from friends, family and acquaintances differ on varying scales from March 1985 up to the date of the massacre. One one hand she is lethargic, vacant, distant, on other occasions she is actively seeking work and planning holidays and having dates with other men and enjoying a social life.

I'm guessing this is all part and parcel of Shelias medical condition. Good days and bad days. A cornerstone of the guilt argument is not just about her being unable to overpower nevill and being unable to operate the rifle. It is also down to her not having the physical capacity to even attempt such a feat. Adam often had made reference to this as of recent saying Shelia couldn't do it because she was a " mouse to the slaughter" and June cooked food for her.

My personal opinion is that I think she had the energy to do so. Whether she did or not is an entirely different matter of course

Recollections of Shelia from friends, family and acquaintances differ on varying scales from March 1985 up to the date of the massacre. One one hand she is lethargic, vacant, distant, on other occasions she is actively seeking work and planning holidays and having dates with other men and enjoying a social life.

I'm guessing this is all part and parcel of Shelias medical condition. Good days and bad days. A cornerstone of the guilt argument is not just about her being unable to overpower nevill and being unable to operate the rifle. It is also down to her not having the physical capacity to even attempt such a feat. Adam often had made reference to this as of recent saying Shelia couldn't do it because she was a " mouse to the slaughter" and June cooked food for her.

My personal opinion is that I think she had the energy to do so. Whether she did or not is an entirely different matter of course


It's a shame we don't have Christine's view. I'm guessing, as Colin says of her not looking as happy since the boys were born, adjectives such as radiant, animated and vivacious would have been used. From then on, I think it was something of a mental roller coaster on an increasingly downward trajectory. By the time she reached WHF, I think she'd all but run out of mental energy.

Simply claiming "June cooked for her" is rather over-egging this particular pudding. Unless June went to London on a daily basis, such would have been impossible.

With Nevill working all day, Jean boutell taking care of the cleaning duties, and apart from church it was something for June to do.

Maybe June needed Shelia as much as Shelia needed June

Suspect the Haloperiodal literally did make Sheila bedbound. It is an extremely powerful drug.

Getting it halved meant she could walk. But still had no focus, alertness got cofused, was docile, non responsive, had balance/coordination problems, involuntary movements, no strength or energy.

She put up no resistance to Bamber.

But Nevill did!

Oh, c'mon, ILB! She was -momentarily!- employed as a cleaner. It was very short lived. We're talking about a privately educated female who ought to have been capable of more than menial jobs. She wasn't even capable of holding on to those.

People are claiming that Shelia couldn't hardly function, had no coordination, couldn't do tasks for herself and relied on others!

The fact is she was applying for a job. It takes a degree of functioning! Independence, and nous to do. It means at the very least she was physically capable

Which contradicts her inability to function!

Work in July 85?

So that's why she spent a week in early August being looked after by CC, June and Nevill.

Seems Shelia did quite a lot throughout that month period in terms of mobility and cognivity

Went out to nightclubs

Went out for meals

Had dates with men.

Part time job as a lingerie store cleaner

Part time job as a babysitter

Was planning a trip abroad with friends and the children

Friends do differ between her being " vibrant and out of it "

You just said it yourself, good days and bad days and from the recollections of people around at the time of the murders, she was having bad days. Even Bamber himself alludes to her being quiet and withdrawn. The days around the murders are the only days that matter. Also, even in the VERY UNLIKELY event that Sheila worked out how to use the rifle, I very much doubt she would kill her kids execution style and choose to die herself in her parents bedroom.

Sheila was extremely weak, docile, confused, half awake, unfocused, unbalanced, unaware and uncordinated when Bamber woke her.

She had been in the previous days.

Bamber had just inflicted 40+ injuries to Nevill in his kitchen attack. He was hyped and ready for any resistance from Sheila. But as expected she put up none.

A precursor incident also leaves open the possibility that all was certainly not well in the household, as each retired for the night.  An initial, lesser incident leaves open the chance of bad feeling smoldering, leading to the lethal incident.

You can almost hear Nevill or June saying 'we'll discuss this in the morning'.  Sheila discussed it in her head instead.

I sense a lot of Sheila's actions were keeping up appearances in front of her parents. She wasn't career-focussed in the same way Julie was. An employer whom she cleaned for in Hampstead commented that she had to be directed in her work. I think Sheila was on a downward trajectory to mental illness from the modelling assignment in Japan days, when she had felt ill at ease and had asked Colin to book an appointment with a psychiatrist upon her return.

I think that was true for Jeremy (foreign trips, car replacement) but not of Sheila. I don't see her as materialistic in the slightest. June's worry about the damp flat in Hampstead and her concern for the twins led her to buy the Maida Vale flat, not any prompting from her daughter.

I disagree in reference to Shelia in the early days Steve.

She had ambitions of being a top model.

She wanted the London life, it wouldn't have come cheap. And June and Nevill were paying for this. The Lucy Clayton school which June paid for, who financed the Japan airflight ticket? Who financed the nights out? Shelia was between jobs,Colin was on an art grant, the bank of Nevill and June !

I believe Shelia was monetary based as much as Jeremy was. Perhaps not as much as her problems got worse. But certainly was at a time.
