Hello Bill

my laptop is not the best quality but I would think Stuart Smith does need glasses or indeed new ones if he cannot see what I see and I do need glasses always borrow other folks :)

Hi Bron my reading glasses are £4.50 for two pairs from Tesco but I can see really clearly in them especially when the rain has gone.

Bill looks like 10/11 but would guess some are relating to  the another if you know what I mean One looks like a three scratch mark the two big gauge marks trail into finer ones then I see other smaller type but I see them and I am not biased.
Aye, more than none then! Poor old Stuart; he may be drummed out on fitness grounds.

I can't see any wounds here. Just blood. It would be Sheila's blood as the only blood on her nightdress was her own.

Bill biased posters will say none as will people with something to hide but they are clearly gauge marks and the three together are scratches done by three fingers wish I had the equipment to blow the picture up and get a better view I remember Lookout posting about this but she was laughed at and told they were just blood marks I am thinking maybe lookout was right about other things as well

Looks like at least one crescent gouge which has then also scraped the skin.  The marks next to it have also scraped the skin in the same manner but dont form a clear cresent.  There is a indentation which is not easy to make out on the inside of her index finger / thumb span.

That IS Sheila's right hand, is it not? I'm just wondering how, if she was busy shooting people, with the gun in her right hand, how anyone would have been able to inflict wounds on her hands with a rifle's length between them. Had there been some sort of fisticuffs fight sans rifle, I imagine she could have been overcome before she reached for the rifle. However, it's not impossible, IF those marks are wounds, that she may have struggled briefly with Jeremy before he shot her.

Hi Bill,I see grab marks which have penetrated the flesh.Much the same as were on June and Neville's arm and as " Taff " first stated--- " a domestic ". Which had obviously been amongst the three adults who were there.

If somebody is gouging her hand, with secondary scraping as the hand / wrist is pulled away during the tussle - I would be minded to consider whether she had hold of something and there were forcible attempts to loosen her grip.

Bill been back to the picture this time wearing glasses and I see as explained earlier 3 or 4 gauge and scratch marks lots of the marks are blood but it seems to me when Sheila was beating Nevill he managed to mark her but was too badly injured to harm her.  If Sheila fought with Jeremy he would have been marked and Julie would have noticed and brought it up in her statement to EP Just my humble opinion

Roch maybe Nevill or June were trying to take the rifle from Sheila and I suspect they were marked quite badly Jeremy was not as far as we know.

Fully agree; I see 5 clear cuts or marks, with 2-3 possible additional small grazes. It was quite a tussle to try to prise the rifle away from Sheila, which failed, obviously.

Sheila would have been like a wild animal that night and nobody would have stood an earthly. I often wonder if Neville had been forced to ring Jeremy to go to WHF so that she could have put an end to him too .

Sheila was like a tortoise. She was on Haloperidol and under sedation. Easy prey for Bamber.

Looking at this scenario would take out the " mystery " as to why Neville would have rang Jeremy and not the police,initially.Sheila had wanted them all dead methinks.

So they released crime scene pictures of Sheila's right hand showing gouge marks even though Vanezis said they were free from injury? People ask why/how EP managed to misread the scene as professionals but then make out they are idiots with things like this slip. Make your mind up! Those pictures aren't clear enough to tell what the marks are and there certainly isn't 5 or any graze marks, they are just smears. You can talk yourself into anything if you try hard enough!

People have argued that they don't believe EP would have misread the crime scene as a suicide if it was staged. But this thread suggests that they released CS pictures that show gouges when they official line is that her hands had no injuries. Are EP clever on the one hand but dumb on the other?

Yes I agree they wouldn't misread the crime scene if it was staged.  If they came across a staged crime scene - in the manner that this one was - then I believe they would have cottoned on to it.  It's therefore paradoxical that they themselves ended up staging the crime scene in a not totally convincing manner.

Regarding release of crime photos etc.  I think we would need to know which photos were released when and what the quality of those photos were.

It is not as simple as that, it hardly ever is. The trial lawyers and the jury were shown photographs that were in effect 'whole body' i.e. no close-up details. It is apparent from the numerous questions asked by the Judge, Prosecution and Defence lawyers, that they struggled to see any detail of the wounds. In my view, that is what Ainsley intended, so that Vanezis' testimony would be accepted without question.

The photographs were then never intended to be seen again, except by a very small number of people who were concerned with Jeremy's appeals. The general public were never meant to see any crime scene photos. Then, out of the blue, along came the internet and websites like the JB Forum where crime scene photos have been posted. With the right software and a lot of time and experimentation it has been possible to produce enlarged images that the police would never have dreamed were possible in 1985. So, the police were not dumb, they just didn't anticipate the development of the internet, or digital image processing.

They did 'cotton on to it'.  Bamber was charged in September 1985.

You're thread picture doesn't show any injuries. It just shows blood on her hand. Which is visible in the long distance pictures.

That being the case - why do the two almost parallel strips of bloodstains stop - right at the point where they they reach the clearer darker lines? 

What stopped the bloodstaining from going beyond the darker clear lines? 

Why do the two streaks of bloodstaining occur beneath the darker lines and not above them?

Surely that is the point most people can't see anything clearly on their computer screens but on this tablet I can see a crescent nail mark quite clearly and scrapes/scratches and bruising. What looks like red smears of blood are more like grazes/scratch trails.  There's a small cut at the side of her index finger

Hi lookout my opinion and that is all it is Sheila shot her family then she showered and I have always thought her hair looked newly washed changed into a nightie I suspect belonging to June then at some point after shot herself I really am not sure about her being down stairs but I did read on here just this week that two police officers said when they saw Sheila the blood looked like it had recently run out of her mouth.  Poor Sheila.

I know Susan,she was completely out of control that night as things had come to a head.Very sad,but she wouldn't have been beyond redemption in the right hands before five lives had been lost.
Her diaries would have told her full story as writing her feelings must have been her salvation at times to get things off her chest.

Lookout wonder where her diary is? although maybe good nobody can read it as it would have been so private when my Mum was alive she always kept a daily account in her diary and she kept it so private and when she died I burnt them all as I had to respect her wishes and keep her thoughts private.

Yes I agree they wouldn't misread the crime scene if it was staged.  If they came across a staged crime scene - in the manner that this one was - then I believe they would have cottoned on to it.  It's therefore paradoxical that they themselves ended up staging the crime scene in a not totally convincing manner.

Regarding release of crime photos etc.  I think we would need to know which photos were released when and what the quality of those photos were.

All of which is a complete contradiction.

It is not as simple as that, it hardly ever is. The trial lawyers and the jury were shown photographs that were in effect 'whole body' i.e. no close-up details. It is apparent from the numerous questions asked by the Judge, Prosecution and Defence lawyers, that they struggled to see any detail of the wounds. In my view, that is what Ainsley intended, so that Vanezis' testimony would be accepted without question.

The photographs were then never intended to be seen again, except by a very small number of people who were concerned with Jeremy's appeals. The general public were never meant to see any crime scene photos. Then, out of the blue, along came the internet and websites like the JB Forum where crime scene photos have been posted. With the right software and a lot of time and experimentation it has been possible to produce enlarged images that the police would never have dreamed were possible in 1985. So, the police were not dumb, they just didn't anticipate the development of the internet, or digital image processing.

What? The police didn't anticipate photographic technology to improve so they carelessly allowed photographs that contradicted what they said (which they don't) into the public domain? O - K  ???

Just for the record, how do you know what the jury saw? Something to back that claim up might be useful or (again) it's just empty claims that require bland faith. You'll find a lot of that here, but not from me.

Lookout wonder where her diary is? although maybe good nobody can read it as it would have been so private when my Mum was alive she always kept a daily account in her diary and she kept it so private and when she died I burnt them all as I had to respect her wishes and keep her thoughts private.





There were a number of diaries Susan,as there would have been if Sheila had kept tabs on various appointments/venues during her modelling. I believe the relatives have/had them. Serve them right if there was anything they shouldn't have seen ! There again,Sheila could also have made a record of her " problems " -----which they'd have ignored,as I noted in all their statements,they never once asked any questions about anything pertaining to anyone including Jeremy as they'd seemed to " know everything about everyone " , even though they never saw the family regularly.

The images in the pdf have just been manipulated, there appears to be a white dot on one area of blood staining that people are thinking is skin gouged up, but it is just where the image has been lightened and become pixilated.

Seeing the image below and wider angle images in the photo library we can see that it is simply a continuation of blood staining rather than wounds.

Nice try guys.  ;)

Jeremy has been incarcerated since 1985.  The photos came only came in to the public domain in 2003 / 2004 - when Mike Tesko took photos of photos . Wasn't this something to do with either Ewen Smith or GDS?   Negatives were released to the defence I think in 2011 via the CCRC. 

Many moons ago in the early days of the forum - Mike Tesko said the same thing about the photos used at trial.  Which was a deliberate strategy.

If Sheila had been as ditsy about keeping a diary as she was about other disciplines, they'd have been pretty empty. Also, it had been YEARS since she'd had modelling assignments.

Whenever they were released, doesn't really matter, if they showed what is being claimed here, they'd never have seen the light of day but there is no evidence to prove that they were kept from either the defence of the jury.

Is this the 'non manipulated' photo? 

Even if it is - I'm sorry - but what I see are a full crescent gouge with a stain underneath it and a partial crescent gouge with a stain underneath it.  In the images put up by Bill - it is possible to see that the partical cresecent gouge is actually separated.  The stains underneath are still quite possibly grazes even in this image.

There is also still a distinctive 'nick' on the inside of Sheila's forefinger - above where the side of the hand eventually meets the thumb.

This is actually the very same image, taken from this forum (originally a still frame from a documentary) that Bill has used in his pdf.

I've just run this same image through a few different filters in Photoshop and got the same results.

They could hardly have been shown at trial this close up - if the prosecution's case was that Sheila had no injuries.  As somebody in the jury or defence with the same vision as my self, Maggie, Bill, Susan etc would probably have questioned why she had crescent gouges. 

I cannot see how bleeding gunshot wounds to the neck/throat can cause crescent shaped blood stains with further bloodstains underneath them in the form of a nail scrape / graze.

Yes, if they have nails to dig in to somebody - I think that's right. 

But that begs the question - if Jeremy caused her to have such gouges and scrapes in the manner suggested - and Jeremy was the one being prosecuted for killing her - why did the prosecution's case against him omit the scrapes?

There have been posts on here before that actually said it is an easy rifle to fire and to be fair we can not see all her nails so we only have reports that say they were not damaged .

If Sheila's nails were damaged this would have confirmed the boss's suspicions that Sheila was the killer so there would be no need to conceal.

How did she obtain nail gouges on her hand, if this happened?  A more likely scenario is that there was a desperate struggle to get her hand to release whatever it was holding on to.  Have you seen the condition of her arm as well?  Go and have a look in the forum archive.

I don't see any nail gouges, neither is the photograph of her arm in the section marked "Case related photographs" in "Archive."

I don't see any nail gouges, neither is the photograph of her arm in the section marked "Case related photographs" in "Archive." She had difficulty pouring a drink into a tumbler, let alone reloading a rifle. I really do think some of you on here are in denial, and should research schizophrenia and the effects of Haloperidol a little further.

So what is the crescent dark line then?  What kind of bloodstain begins or ends in such a formation? 

And what's the raw looking indent on the inside of the bottom of her index?  Is that also just an isolated rectangular bloodstain?  :))   Nothing to do with gripping a rifle then... given that she was the original prime suspect?

neither is the photograph of her arm in the section marked "Case related photographs" in "Archive."

Steve, how does an injured person on the brink of death move their arm back and forth below their neck wound in order to receive four blobs of blood in succession?  ::)

Also - how many fingers do we have on a human hand - minus the thumb?  When you grab something like an arm (from a certain angle) - you place four fingers on top and a thumb undereath or to the side.

If the image had been put up 2014 before you turned guilty, I don't think you would have had any difficulty seeing the scrapes or their source nail gouges.  But you have boxed your-self in now, on the opposition benches with the hardline guilters.  So you  have to try and bluff it out and play 🙈

Not at all, I really don't see any gouges or scrapes - just smears. Please don't suggest I'm lying Roch, if I saw gouges, I'd say so. I don't follow everything the guilty side believes. I don't agree with the silencer and I do believe her palms were bloodied. Don't do a David and tell me what I think - I have told you what I think and would have said the same in 2014 or even when I thought Bamber was innocent (I didn't think he was innocent in 2014).

I'm not calling you a liar - but I am calling out those who claim they are 'just smears'.  The claim doesn't hold any credibility.  If they are smears then they need to be explained.  Anybody can zoom in even further and take an even closer look - even on the video still Hartley put up.  Whether they are smears or scrapes (and I suggest the latter) - they have a source.  If the darker deeper mark is not the source - then it is the end of the smear or scrape - and how can that be explained?

DCI 621 Stuart Smith of Essex Police is the gatekeeper for all issues relating to Jeremy Bamber. Please see the attached document.

http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8501.0;attach=49280

Here's the substance of the document.

Detective Chief Inspector 621 Stuart Smith of Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate has received a report detailing how the jury at the trial of Jeremy Bamber was misled by the pathologist Dr Peter Vanezis. There were in fact at least 70 wounds to the three adult victims not disclosed by Vanezis; he repeatedly said that there were no wounds to Sheila Caffell other than two bullet wounds in her neck.

Vanezis said that all the blood shown in the picture below resulted from blood running down the arm from a single bullet wound to the throat of Sheila Caffell. DCI Smith has said that he cannot see any cuts, gouges, scratches or any other kind of wound in photographs provided to him.

“The images that you include are of very low quality... There is absolutely no way that any person could reasonably say that the marks and blood trails that you depict are injuries”.

Is your eyesight better than DCI Smith’s? How many wounds do you see on Sheila’s hand?

(https://i0.wp.com/scenephotographs.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/gouge-marks.jpg?ssl=1&w=450)

Mr Justice Drake to the witness: No evidence of any other injury, what about the possibility that she had been involved in some fighting or scuffling to leave any sort of marks, other than what one might term “an injury”?

Vanezis: There was certainly no evidence of any other marks that could have been produced in a scuffle

In determining whether Jeremy Bamber was guilty of murder, any evidence that his sister, Sheila Caffell, fought with anyone inside White House Farm (WHF) in the early hours of 7th August 1985, changes the fundamental premise behind the Prosecution case against Bamber. For, supported by misleading testimony from the pathologist, Dr Peter Vanezis, the prosecution could state that Sheila received only two wounds, both gunshots to her neck. By thus testifying, Vanezis enabled the prosecution to present Sheila Caffell as an innocent victim rather than the perpetrator of violence.

The suppression of evidence that both June and Nevill Bamber received multiple minor injuries due to fighting with Sheila over possession of the rifle further enhanced the stage-managed evidence given at trial by Vanezis to the effect that only Jeremy could have been responsible for the deaths of his family. Jeremy did not kill his family –

Post by: Harry on July 05, 2017, 03:23:AM
In his report of September 30 1985 page 06 Vanezis goes into some detail in describing how the fractures to Nevill's skull were caused by gunshots.

Quote
Gunshot Wounds.
    1 Entry wound on the right side side of the head just in front of the right ear measuring 3/16

    2 Entry wound above previous wound also measuring 3/16

    The track of the above two rounds was through the temporal bone
    causing two punctured holes in the skull with associated linear
    fractures
radiating to the top to the skull in the frontal bones
    as far as thu saggital suture as well as across the right orbital
    plate and frontal bone. The track of both wounds continued through
    the brain causing disruptive injury principally to both temporal
    lobes, right parietul lobe and midbrain structures. One of the
    bullets then caused everted fractures to the left parietal bone
    with the bullet embedded in the fracture site.
The other bullet
     had exited just behind the left ear causing a fracture in the
    temporal bone and a small exit laceration. The bullet was found
    embedded in the laceration.

    3 Entry wound in the right parietel region measuring 1/2 inch.

    4 Entry wound 1/2 inch posterior to wound also measuring 1/2 inch

    The track of the above two wounds was in a downward direction from the deceased's right
    to left side. The bullets had initially caused two punctured fractures to the right parietal bone which merged into each other. These fractures were also associated with radiations in three directions.
    The brain was severely disrupted and bullet fragments were also seen. The base of the skull was severely fractured.

But in his report of May 07 1986 page 03 he seems to contradict everything he said on the matter in September 30 1985.

Quote
In my view none of the fractures to the skull were associated with gunshot injuries. The bruising to both eyes in my view could not be associated solely with fractures to the skull but in my view could also have been caused by blows by a blunt object or objects in the vicinity.

The pattern emerges

Sheila couldn't have done it because her hands were free of blood.

Sheila couldn't have done it because she was not strong enough to cause the fractures to Nevill's skull with blows with the rifle butt.

Sheila couldn't have done it because she had no marks to suggest she had been in a struggle.

This kind of thing happens far more often than people think. It's not just about getting paid, but about ambition. If a pathologist has helped the prosecution get a conviction in a high profile case he will get a reputation as prosecution friendly and more work precisely because astute prosecutors know he is willing to bend the truth.

Seems like misinterpretation on your part here.

The section referred to in his 07/05/86 statement is headed "Other external Injuries".

He is clearly describing additional blows to the head causing lacerations, cuts, bruising and external fractures not associated with gunshot wounds.

Lets agree for a moment that they are some kind of lacerations (although the term is a bit over the top), Looking at the following picture, there are linear marks leading fro what you say are fingernail gouge marks

(http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=887.0;attach=40868)

However, Nevill had similar marks and so IF (and it's a BIG IF) they are inuries, they may be defence wounds and the crescent formed from the rifle barrel.

Sheila was so out of it from Haloperodol & sedation I doubt Bamber had to be aggressive with her.

There was a lot blood on the floor around Sheila as well as on the bible & her nightdress. So not surprising there are a few blood marks on her arm and back of her hand.

Several observations.

They cannot be deep cuts as there is not enough bleeding. They are most likely to be lacerations.

I have always gone with nails as the most probable answer. But I am not convinced they are.

The position of the marks unfortunately is over an area of skin that is variable and pliant depending on what the person is doing (specially the thumb). If you were to clench Sheila's hand into a fist those marks will change somewhat. So it will be difficult to know exactly what caused them by just a photo.

Looks like at least one crescent gouge which has then also scraped the skin.  The marks next to it have also scraped the skin in the same manner but dont form a clear cresent.  There is a indentation which is not easy to make out on the inside of her index finger / thumb span.

I agree.  That's how it appears to me.

I'm not sure why anything would be passed straight to the CCRC. Surely it's better to pass it to Bamber's legal team. They will use it when the time is right in the best interests of their client.

That's the whole point though. His findings were made to suit, in accordance with the aims of the second investigation.  If you want to find a report that you can't argue with, you need to locate the report he did when Sheila was prime suspect.  Good luck with that.

A couple of questions , forgive me but I am a bit rusty on the case.

1) if the picture was taken before the swabs could it have been before the pathology report and by that time the hands could have been cleaned ?
2) as far as I know there is no proof that nevilles injuries (apart from shots) were inflicted before or after shooting?
3) purely speculation but Neville was fully aware of Sheila's violent outbursts so possibly his reaction to her hitting him or attacking him , possibly before the shooting, would surely be different to confronting Jeremy with a gun. With his background a fight with Jeremy would surely have been different than trying to calm a mentally ill woman?
4) I still think that looks like a full handprint in blood . But as the pathologist was not at the scene and he was convinced it was murder suicide then perhaps his report was not thorough enough rather than being deliberately misleading?

3) purely speculation but Neville was fully aware of Sheila's violent outbursts so possibly his reaction to her hitting him or attacking him , possibly before the shooting, would surely be different to confronting Jeremy with a gun. With his background a fight with Jeremy would surely have been different than trying to calm a mentally ill woman?
4) I still think that looks like a full handprint in blood . But as the pathologist was not at the scene and he was convinced it was murder suicide then perhaps his report was not thorough enough rather than being deliberately misleading?
How could point four be true?  That's his second report when he was told Bamber was guilty says Roch?

Release? It's already on the forum.

I thought he said it's been discussed in a round about way on the forum.

Anyway, Roch's never going to say what he saw in March 2017. Just that he saw it.

It obviously blows wide open the industrial frame as it shows 'Sheila definately committed the massacre'.

Myself & Susan just want to clear up whether the 'bombshell' evidence is with Bamber's legal team. And how Roch got to see the 'bombshell' evidence.

A couple of questions , forgive me but I am a bit rusty on the case.

1) if the picture was taken before the swabs could it have been before the pathology report and by that time the hands could have been cleaned ? This is what Vanezis has alluded to in CAL's book
2) as far as I know there is no proof that nevilles injuries (apart from shots) were inflicted before or after shooting? True
3) purely speculation but Neville was fully aware of Sheila's violent outbursts so possibly his reaction to her hitting him or attacking him , possibly before the shooting, would surely be different to confronting Jeremy with a gun. With his background a fight with Jeremy would surely have been different than trying to calm a mentally ill woman? I don't think he could have put up much of a fight with either - I think he was bttered rather than fought with anyone. I also think that someone made it look like someone else, had 'gone crazy and just smashed a few things.
4) I still think that looks like a full handprint in blood . But as the pathologist was not at the scene and he was convinced it was murder suicide then perhaps his report was not thorough enough rather than being deliberately misleading? Just looks like finger marks to me.

But did not the report quite clearly say palm print . I remember going round on that aregument as well as whether he meant wrist or palm etc?

Sorry not quite getting your point ? I am not saying anything is true or not ? All I was saying was on the first report he would not have seen the photos and the body and how Sheila's hands would have been positioned so perhaps would not have been aware of any implications of blood on her hands . Or the blood on the nightie.

In court the implication of her hands being clean was used as a tool for her innocence in the crime .

That's the whole point though. His findings were made to suit, in accordance with the aims of the second investigation.  If you want to find a report that you can't argue with, you need to locate the report he did when Sheila was prime suspect.  Good luck with that.

Of course and we know the score there

Lets agree for a moment that they are some kind of lacerations (although the term is a bit over the top), Looking at the following picture, there are linear marks leading fro what you say are fingernail gouge marks

(http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=887.0;attach=40868)

However, Nevill had similar marks and so IF (and it's a BIG IF) they are inuries, they may be defence wounds and the crescent formed from the rifle barrel.

(http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=887.0;attach=4351)

That doesn't work, imo.   The two marks with the smears / scrapes underneath or above them (depending on how the marks are interpreted) contain differences.. 

Even if both of the marks were crescent-like (as it seems from the video still you have used) - one is bigger than the other. 

Even if the end of the gun barrel or silencer could have penetrated the skin like a sharpened impliment and caused these wounds - I would expect to see more uniformity within both of the marks as a result.

In the images put up yesterday - it is clear to see that one mark is not only smaller than the other but is also not fully joined-up. 

A laceration would not seem to be an 'over the top' turn.  If those marks were on your own hand - and somebody dabbed them with TCP or similar, I would expect to see a wince and a sharp intake of breath

Well neither of us are experts Roch, however, uniformity would only occur if the hit was from the same angle with the same pressure. We're not even sure that they are (OK) 'lacerations'  ::), but it could only ever be a best guess as to what caused them IF, they are. Anyone who knows me knows I an accident prone - TCP is my friend!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The report said blood on the wrist. But from the picture it looks like at one stage there was blood on the hand including fingers.

I still think the hands had been cleaned and bagged by the time he saw them and he just assumed it was not that important.

Like the whole crime scene assumption and sloppiness.
