Ralph Bamber, made it downstairs, after only having been shot once, upstairs
The ammunition logistics of this case, in particular, the fact that only nine (9) bullet cases were found in the main bedroom, before PI "Bob" Miller took it upon himself to instruct DC Hammersely to create space and an opportunity so that four additional bullet cases could be introduced into the main bedroom crime scene, and the presence of "O" type blood (which was of the same blood group as Ralph Bamber, and no other adult victim in this case) on wall paper on the main stairs, and the door jamb leading from the main hall to the kitchen, seems to be sufficient enough proof, to confirm that Ralph was wounded once, before he reached the kitchen, and that this wound was associated with one of his hands or arms...
Linked to this matter, is the fact that bloodied finger-marks were found to be present on the edge of the worktop in the region where the telephone handset was off its cradle, and where a quantity of .22 ammunition (29 Eley LR bullets) was spilled out, alongside...
Not widely reported on, but now known by Bamber and his legal team, was that the police found multiple spots of blood on the kitchen floor directly adjacent to where these bloodied finger-marks were made on the edge of the kitchen worktop, suggestive that someone was bleeding from a wound to that hand, or his arm?
It is necessary to try and discover, which of the victims, who could have got downstairs, was wounded in thier hand, or arm, and since there are only two possible candidates for being this person, and those two candidates, were Ralph and Sheila, it should become obvious that the person who left bloodied finger-marks on the edge of the kitchen worktop, and who dripped multiple spots of blood onto the kitchen floor beneath where this person was stood, could have been, and was only, none other than Ralph Bamber...
Absence of any blood at all, on the handset of the telephone, or upon its cradle, suggests that whoever handled the telephone, was not injured on one hand, or that other arm?
Bearing all these features in mind, then of course, it would have been possible, for Ralph Bamber to have made the telephone call to Jeremy, which Jeremy has always maintained he received from his father at the farm. Additionally, it would now seem almost as certain, that Ralph Bamber also made a call to the police, alerting them to what was, and which had been taking place inside the farmhouse, prior to the occupants of CA07 (police) being dispatched to the scene, by 3:35am, before Jeremy himself contacted the police at 3:36am, to alert the police to the telephone call he had previously received from his father, who alerted Jeremy to what was taking place at the farmhouse...
If Ralph made the call to Jeremy, and the police at 3:26am, then of course by that stage, Ralph had not yet been shot in the jaw, nor was he unable to talk to anyone at all, contrary to what was suggested at the time of Bambers trial by the prosecutions case...
Ralph must therefore, have been shot a further three (3) times non fatally, and four (4) times fatally at some point after Ralph made the call to Jeremy, and to the police at 3:26am...
Nobody can say, with a degree of certainty, that these additional three (3) non fatal shots, or the four (4) fatal shots, which killed Ralph in the kitchen, took place, or were inflicted, before, or after the arrival of the occupants of CA07, and Jeremy, at the scene around 3:52am?
But it seems odds on, that June Bamber was still very much alive in the upstairs bedroom, because she was the person who the police and Bamber saw walking in front of the bedroom window at around 4am, which caused them to race from the grounds back to the patrol car which was parked up in Pages Lane, and to pass a message to the control room requesting that the firearms team be deployed to the scene as soon as possible...
Still four (4) bullets in ammunition magazine of Bamber rifle by this stage
If we accept that Ralph Bamber made it to the telephone, and that he was able to make the call to Jeremy, and to the police, by 3:26am, then of course, there was still four live bullets in the ammunition magazine of the Bamber rifle, which by circumstance, needed to be discharged at some stage in the proceedings...
Pathologist confirms, that Ralph was shot eight times, of which four (4) were non fatal wounds, and four (4) were fatal wounds
If Sheila discharged all these outstanding bullets into Ralph, then of course, by the time she emptied the weapon so that there was no more bullets in it to fire, Ralph would have been dead, because by that stage, Ralph would have been shot five (5) times, with at least one of these four bullets resulting in his death in the kitchen...
By 4am, of course, June Bamber was still very much alive, upstairs in the main bedroom, because she was the silhouetted figure, who was seen by the police, and Jeremy, from the vantage point of the grounds of whf, at about that time. As I say, no-one can be sure whether or not Sheila had shot and killed Ralph in the kitchen during the interim period, between the timing of Ralph's call to the police at 3:26am, and the arrival of the occupants of CA07 to the scene (3:52am), and the sighting of June, by the police, and Jeremy, at around 4am, but if Ralph was still alive by that stage, why didn't he make the police aware of himself?
This leads me to conclude, that by 4am, Ralph had already been shot and killed by Sheila, and that by that stage, all the ten (10) bullets from the first load of the ammunition magazine, had been discharged and used up, culminating in Ralph being dead in the kitchen, and June upstairs, and badly wounded...
