Kind of goes against the grain of suicide.





Why's that ?

Thought it was time to be herself - then shoots herself?

yes i was aware of the prints on the riffle  , just was wondering about the magazine and shell casings as apparently it is easier to obtain prints from those items than the actual rifle , especially as who ever used the gun would have had to press down on the shell casings to load them , there should have been prints if the person was not wearing gloves, my god i can't believe they distroyed the casings!!!!!

The magazine for that gun is less than 3cm wide. You would be clasping it in your palm rather than having fingertips on. Even plus it has an awkward design and opening to show the amount of bullets.


The easyest part of a gun to obtain prints is the wooden parts.

Most studies show that prints on fired .22 shell casings are not useable to identify the shooter. But in this case prints alone no matter how poorly they show up could establish if the shooter is likley male or fe-male from the size of the print.

The size of the clip if far to small. Plus palm prints are only of use if on a flat surface.
