I can't believe Sheila while experiencing a psychotic episode had the foresight to put on a pair of plimsoles in case a glass light shade was broken in a struggle. Then took them off again to commit suicide. Neither her feet or slippers had any shards or debris on them.
In order to have any chance of convicting Bamber for the killings, the police had to conceal any evidence that implicated his sister. That is a key point that anyone deciphering the case needs to bear in mind. They wont disclose the original case file set up for four murders and a suicide and they wont disclose the report that was presented to the Chief Constable (a review of the case evidence that concluded all the evidence pointed to Sheila).
How do you know she didn't take them off as opposed to put them on? Her bed looks like she never slept in that night. She could have been wondering all over and doing umpteen different things.
The pathologist considered that four bullet shots to his head were after he had been decapacitated. Prior to that 21 shots were fired upstairs where 21 bullet cases were found. After counting up the shots to the rest of the family this meant Neville had been shot four times although one was only a grazing shot. The other three were two into the lower jaw and one into a shoulder. Clearly he made it to the kitchen where a violent struggle took place before he was subdued and then shot four times in the side of the head. I cannot accept that Sheila was physically capable of this against a strong 6 ft 4 inches man.
Well if she was experiencing a psychotic episode or was determined to carry out what she was carrying out, and he was already wounded, I personally have no problem with her subduing him. We will simply never know how events played out between father and daughter or how long this took place or exactly what their movements were back and forth inside the farmhouse.
The day after the murders he visited his solicitors and as June and Neville had separate wills the order in which they were killed could have been significant. He even asked the police if they could determine the sequence of deaths. No one priority the day after your entire family have been brutally murdered.
He was told to visit the solicitors. You should check what Robert Boutflour did also, regarding Mable Speakman. The relatives were like vultures:
