The broken window

[DJA]

Yes,I did.

That photograph was shot "the day of the murder".

Prolly b4 one of the windows was taken out,if that happened.

Although McCarthy knew about reaching in through the window,a big issue was made of breaking the door in.

Hi DJA
Ever crossed your mind as to why there's no one else in the yard.No police outside the door and why there's no light source through the passageway
Not to mention what appears to be the edge of a 'drawn' curtain on the left hand side of the left window

Mmmmmmmmm can't find it.Takes me to the curse of mitre square. Never mind

Packers, I don't know if you have already read it but Simon Wood wrote a very interesting dissertion here on Casebook examining what the photographer must have done, and the question of the windows maybe being removed. It's called 'The Enigmas of Millers Court'.

Thanks Rosella,I'll take a look.
But to everyone saying the photographer took the photo first...the window had already been removed and Phillips was in the room examining the body according to the report,before a photographer was even summoned. Questions,questions

Hi Packers Stem

The photographer took the photo of the body before the post-mortem examination in the afternoon. So, the photo of the outside of the room was either taken first, or after, whilst the doctors were inside putting the pieces back together.

The window was boarded up and the door padlocked on Friday evening.

From the times on the 10th November

Mr Arnold,having satisfied himself that the woman was dead,ordered one of the windows be entirely removed.

Later on after discussing the scene the article continues

....While this examination was being made a photographer,who,in the mean time, had been sent for,arrived and took photographs of the body,the organs,the room and it's contents....

So, if the window had been removed before the photographer was sent for, who took the photo of the broken window or was the photo that we know not a 'crime scene' photo and one taken at a later date and there just happened to be one broken window at the time it was taken
