Contd..
Nevill Bamber got past Jeremy even after sustaining four/five bullet wounds to his left arm, neck, jaw and head and still managed to struggle downstairs leaving a trail of blood on the stair/hall carpet and on wallpaper as he attempted to get to the telephone in the kitchen to summon help. One must remember that the bedroom telephone had been conveniently removed some time earlier in order to prevent June and Nevill summoning help from their bedroom.
From the position of the bedroom door, Jeremy shot the now standing June again fatally killing her where she then stood between the bed and the bedroom door. He would have needed to reload his weapon by this point, something he hadn't planned on, he didn't realise that he would need more than 10 rounds to do the job which up until this point had taken a total of 20 bullets. He was left with no alternative but to quickly follow Nevill downstairs and assault him with the rifle butt in what turned out to be a savage and brutal attack. Things were going wrong now, how could he possibly pass this carnage off on petite Sheila? Having floored Nevill he would have to have gone for more ammunition and reloaded the rifle before pumping three more shots into Nevill killing him.
Jeremy was then left with the task of murdering the sedated Sheila as she slept through it all on her bed upstairs. Sheila was carried through to the master bedroom and shot through the neck. The bullet fragmented and Bamber was left with no alternative but to shoot her again as she lay on the floor. The second bullet killed her instantly.
Hello John, Thanks for posting up your theory of what happened on that night. I have spent a lot of time trying to work out what happened that night. So many things just don't add up.
As you know, i am not an advocate for the twins being killed first. No point going over old ground so i will address a few other things that you raise. Why would Nevill flee downstairs leaving the killer upstairs? If it happens how you state and the killer starts shooting immediately on seeing Nevill, then Nevill wouldn't know if the twins or Sheila were injured or worse. I don't feel that an ex services man would try and raise the alarm and leave other family members vulnerable upstairs. Surely he would have fought for his life upstairs. I believe Nevill followed or chased the killer downstairs when the ammunition was expended in their rifle.
I also don't feel Sheila was drugged either. There is no mention in Venezis post mortem of any type of sedative in Sheila's system, only her prescribed medication and Cannabis.
Any thoughts on Nevill's four head wounds and there being only three shell casings in the kitchen? Do you still think that the Twins were shot once and then returned to, or do you feel they were shot in one episode?
Hope you don't mind the questions John and thanks again for posting up your thoughts on what happened that night. It is interesting to read a theory on what happened from someone who thinks he is guilty.
