It depends on if you mean the left hand side from if you are sleeping in a bed or looking at it from the foot.
I always imagined that Bamber was standing on June's side of the bed which would be consistent with NB sustaining wounds in his LHS as he leapt out of bed.
Holly is forever saying we need to come up with our own scenarios but the prosecution already done that, it's for the doubters to come up with a more or equally plausible one, the main hurdle being conjuring up a remotely believable scene where NB turns his back on an armed and dangerous Sheila to call JB, wait for him to wake up, wander downstairs and answer his phone!
Anyway, these diagrams might assist.
Thank you, CS — that’s very helpful:)
When I say June slept on the left side of the bed, I’m meaning the left side as you get into it and Nevill would have slept to the right of her. That’s why Jeremy would have approached the room from the box room, hoping to shoot Nevill first. I think (but I’m not sure) it was Nevill’s side where the telephone used to sit — which would make sense as he’d probably want to answer the phone if anyone rang late at night with a problem happening on the farm.
Nevill wasn’t shot in the bedroom, CS, which further suggests Jeremy ran out the room. Nevill was shot just outside the bedroom on the landing and at the top of the stairs. All the bullet casings when Nevill was shot were found on the landing, as was his blood. None of Nevill’s blood was found in the bedroom.
Yes, the ludicrous suggestion by his gullible supporters that Nevill would have tried phoning Jeremy when June had just been shot in front of his eyes, defies belief. It’s absolutely pathetic. Besides, Nevill was unable to speak due to being already shot upstairs and having his tongue almost ripped out, his jawbone smashed, and his throat full of blood.
