First - "I remained until about 1.30 when the door was broken open............and from my subsequent examination"
Second - " I am sure the body had been removed subsequent to the injury which caused her death"
Whereas in your argument it is only consistent in one usage out of the two.
That alone should be an indication that your interpretation is wrong.
To reword them both plainly.
- On entering at 1.30 I immediately examined the room/body, etc..
- The body had been moved immediately following the cut to the throat.
Therefore, "subsequently", as used by Phillips is not so readily applicable to him waiting 30 minutes to examine the body.
