I do realize that it has to be either Sheila or Jeremy. Jeremy MIGHT have painted himself into a corner with that phonecall.
I think that Sheila was more ill than people here generally think. I think it is highly disturbing that a mother says that her children are the devil´s children and that they are capable of having sex with her. In my min that raises red flags galore!
There are so many things that make me think that Sheila could have done it. She was up that night - her bed was not properly slept in, she had eaten. It indicates some restlessness. I am not sure it would have been good for Sheila to be alone with her thoughts with everyone else asleep.
Of course a lot more, but I don´t want to write a novel.
Where is the blood spatter on Sheila and her clothing abs. Where is the glass on her feet or shoes from the smashed light shade in the kitchen? Where are her wounds from fighting with Nevill abs...not even a single fingernail out of place??
How does someone with little firearms experience load and fire a rifle 22 times abs without leaving some traces on her or the rifle? How did she manage to fire and hit her target nearly every time?
FACT> When Nevill reached the kitchen we know he had been shot several times in the face and shoulder. How was he able to reach the phone, dial Jeremy and speak to him with blood running out of him and virtually unable to speak?
No blood on the kitchen floor or the telephone belonging to Nevill abs...no blood at all on the phone or anywhere near it?
Why did he not scream at jeremy that he had been shot? Could it be because this was just a lie?
You have to look at the evidence abs which is there and not blank this out because of some empathy with a killer. Sheila may have been ill but she was superwoman or the invisible woman...follow the evidence!
Abs, some interesting information. You do seem to place alot of emphasis on Sheila Caffell's mental condition and extrapolate ideas from it as reasons why she could have committed the murders. True enough, nothing is impossible, but do you not think that to take this line you have to completely ignore all the other evidence that points to her being completely innocent of the murders?
Abs, psychology is not a precise science. It is a discipline that studies the complexities and abnomalies of the human mind. Psycologists will look for traits and patterns in order to find a diagnosis - somewhere in between lies a very grey area. This is an area that belongs to the individual and often fits no pattern or trait and any diagnosis here is very subjective and open to debate. How then, one wonders, can some theorists come up with a whole chapter and verse scenario trying desparately to paint a woman - who no longer has a voice with which to defend herself - as the culprit? What are you basing it on? What evidence other than 'it is possible due to her mental condition' can you possibly have for suggesting what you do? Yes Sheila made some bizzare statements often due to her illness, but this is a world away from committing mass-murder.
The truth is Abs, that there is absolutely NO evidence whatsoever, that Sheila Cafell murdered her family. If you know of any, please feel free to put it forward rather than suppositions based on a highly subjective area.
