Yes that is neither open or closed. Is it partially down or is it part way up? It certainly isn't up enough for a kid to fall out of the window or for a burglar to escape. So this is the result of Gerry's attempt at lowering the shutters or Dianne Webster playing around with the shutters. The worst preserved crime scene they had known.
It is not closed. It was opened by DW.
"I went through into the room where err where Madeleine was sleeping and err and she said you know, somebody, you know, she’s been taken because she said that the shutters and that had been open, the window open."
4078 “Okay, the other thing was, you mentioned that when you went back into Kate and Gerry’s apartment immediately after Madeleine had gone missing, and I know you didn’t specify a time, and you went into the room and I think you made a comment that Kate had spoken to you about the shutters being, the window being open.”
Reply “Yeah the shutters being up and the window open, yeah.”
4078 “Did you see that window at the time?”
Reply “No I, my recollection is that err I think the shutter had been let back down again or err I don’t, I don’t recall the window being open at the time I went so whether they’d closed it because obviously it was draughty for the twins but I, I can’t be a hundred percent sure about that.”
4078 “It’s all, you know, even at that early stage there wasn’t a lot more that you were able to say. Did you check the blind at Kate’s apartment on the window that obviously the relevant window? Did you go out and check the blind?”
Reply “Oh the shutter?”
4078 “Yeah, sorry.”
Reply “Yeah I mean I can remember going out there and in fact
there was me and somebody else, I don’t know who else there was, to see if it could be raised from, from outside, I didn’t spend too long err trying it.”
4078 “And were you able to?”
Reply “I think, I think
I got it up so far but it became sort of err twisted. But everybody was in such a panic really.”
