Be so kind as to look at the crime scene photographs as I have prior to making my post. Please note that in the fawn coloured cot which is less visible from the bedroom door opaque material has been used.
The blue coloured cot is indeed "see through" ... the fawn coloured cot most definitely is not and I am surprised with your familiarity of the case you are ignorant of that fact.
You will note that it would be perfectly possible for an intruder to crouch down in a darkened room between the window and the cot and remain hidden from view by the opaque panel.
Matthew seemed to think both cots had fabric ends. Even so, he managed to see the twins breathing. What a shame Gerald didn't have his x-ray vision. Matthew also saw a bookcase, of course, which I can't find in any of the pictures I've seen. He also saw two windows in the bedroom and the wrong colour curtains. A very unreliable witness imo.
the cots had sort of got that fabric end and sort of a mesh side, so you could see the sides and you could see them, erm, see them breathing
sofas here and you've got a bookcase here
they're similar curtains to the ones you've got in there, and you just get an impression of just like green and yellow, but they were closed, they weren't sort of blowing about,
