Some guests would assume, that if the shutter was down, it was totally secure. Therefore they would not check whether the window was latched or not. And unlatched=burglarizable. This was true for example in another flat of this group of people where at least one window was not latched.
GM from statement, it may help clarify ?? He is certain that, before leaving home the children's bedroom was totally dark, with the window closed, but he does not know it was locked, the external blinds closed but with some slats open, and the curtains also drawn closed. Asked, he relates that during the night the artificial light coming in from the outside is very weak, because, without a light being on in the lounge or the kitchen, the visibility inside the bedroom is much reduced. Despite what he said in his previous statements, he states now and with certainty, that he left with KATE by the rear door which he consequently closed but did not lock given that that is only possible from the inside. Referring to the front door, while he is certain that it was closed it is unlikely that it was locked as [because] they had left by the rear door..... So am I correct nothing was locked ?
