You see people, Mr Philip Boyce has really got the JB guilters in a bit of a bind with his Aga burn theory, it just doesn't fit into the scenario put forward at trial at all!
That is, if the burns took anything like an hour or more to form, just where can this be inserted?
The Crown case has Nevill being firstly shot in bed before being pursued by Bamber soon after to be beaten and shot to death in the kitchen while slumped over the scuttle! The police case doesn't allow for any opportunity nor time needed to burn Nevills back on the Aga knobs!
There is nowhere the Aga evidence can be inserted in their scenario, nowhere at all!!
That is why most guilters just refuse to accept Boyce's theory, instead they claim the burns were caused by some unknown object to check for signs of life.Whether they actually believe that, I do not know!
Why are the marks different shapes and sizes if they were made by the rifle or any other solitary artticle?
The top mark even looks oval, resembling the knob on the Aga!
Anyway, the CCRC has the Aga evidence as you know, so its down to them!
In the mean time, all we can do is look at the implications of the Aga evidence if accepted, and as far as I can see there are only two possibilities, either Sheila is guilty and the Aga burned Nevills back between 12.00-3.00 after being knocked out! Or the CT are right and Nevill was beaten and shot to death 'before' falling against the Aga around 3.30, meaning that the police did indeed move Nevill from the Aga to the scuttle after entry around 7.40.
The problem with the CT scenario is, just how can we tell who shot and killed Nevill at 3.30 and left him lying against the Aga? I just dont see how this scenario clears Bamber? Why couldn't it have been him that killed Nevill before leaving? Not at 3.30 of course, if JB is guilty then he would have killed everyone and left the Whitehouse around 2.30.
And if the CT are correct, it means all injuries were inflicted to Nevill before falling against the Aga, including the final four head shots, so where was Nevill sitting when the four head shots were inflicted? And why was there no blood stains to prove this, say on the table?
There was certainly no blood on the Aga nor on the floor if Nevill was shot before falling, and no blood had ran onto his pyjama top either!
Realistically, Nevills final position in the crime scene photos fit perfectly! The blood on the scuttle and the floor fits, and Nevills final position is ideal for the final four head shots, two to the top and two above the right ear!
Anyways, if the Aga burns are accepted, that is your only two choices as far as I can see, either the burns happened between 12.00-3.00 when Nevill was still alive but injured, or they happened later on between 2.30?-7.40 and Nevill was then moved to the scuttle when the police entered!
Any other Aga burn scenarios out there?
