Title: Five Magic Bullets
Post by: Caroline on October 18, 2019, 07:21:PM
This is something that I believe Scipio first mentioned - at the time, I didn't take too much notice but having thought about it, it's pretty damming!

On 9th August 1985, Taff and Stan Jones called to see Jeremy, in a bid to put Stan's mind at rest Re: Jeremy being involved. Jeremy was asked about the sights and the moderator and was also asked about the bullets left on the counter top. As we know, there were 25 rounds used in the murders, Jeremy said he had grabbed a box of ammo just after spotting the rabbits (the box contained 50 rounds), he loaded 8-10 bullets into the EMPTY magazine clip, all the while RUSHING because he wanted to get the rabbits. All sounds fairly straight forward and with some simply maths you should be able to work out that from a box of 50 bullets with 25 used (none were used to shoot the rabbits), there should be 25 left on the counter. However, there were 30 - where did the 5 extra bullets come from?

There must have been 5 bullets already in the magazine. Jeremy probably didn't think this important initially, however, it's gets complicated when you filter in the rabbit story and his haste to shoot them. If he was in a hurry to shoot the rabbits, why did he need to fill the clip when there was 5 bullets already loaded? After all, he was in a hurry! He also states clearly that the magazine was empty but that no shots were fired at the rabbits. The story doesn't compute - it's a pity we don't have Taff Jones's witness statement because it was he who documented that there were 30 rounds left on the counter - this should have been pursued!

The bullets had evidently been staged by Jeremy on the blue and white chequered worktop. Had they been present before Pamela's telephone call June or Nevill would have cleared them away. If Sheila had opened a new box in the middle of the night as you say there would not have been a surplus of five.

Once again Jeremy is condemned by the words emanating from his own mouth.

This was brought up in Jeremy’s police questioning in September..

To argue that it’s incriminating it’s to argue that a woman can’t pick up five rounds from the office cupboard. Which is one reason why it was never raised by the prosecution in the first place. Another is the defence would have spun it as evidence that Sheila did go to the cupboard thus bolstering Rivlins narrative.

It wasn’t really worth Arlidge bringing it up.

I can't find it in his interrogation?

However, the argument that Sheila would have looked for more bullets when they were readily available on the counter top is very weak - I think it would have been worth pursuing.

The ammo packs came in boxes of 50. The boxes that David Boutflour had collected from the cupboard became known as DRB/3. In total there was 245 bullets for DRB/3. Hence one of those ammo boxes had five used up.

There is no magic going on here.

Obviously they originated from the store of bullets at WHF, but the 5 in question must have been in the magazine - the one Jeremy declared was empty. Jeremy took one pack of 50, he couldn't have taken the one with 5 missing or there would have only been 20 left on the counter.

I know we have had many differences, but I don't think you're stupid so I would find it VERY DIFFICULT to believe that you would buy the argument that Sheila must have taken an extra 5?

But that rather presupposes that Sheila was thinking clearly and was about to kill in cold blood. I think, in order for Sheila to be guilty, it has to be decided whether she was lucid or, as previously suggested, having a psychotic episode.

Fletcher confirms that there was indeed 30 bullets. Still 5 too many!

Its in his interrogation somewhere. I don't have time to look right now.

Sheila would have known the bullets were kept in the gun cupboard (she once lived there). Its the place she would have gone to if she did not initially recall or notice the bullets on the kitchen worktop in the first place.

The prosecutions strategy was to convince the jury she cant have done it. To say she could not put her hand in a cupboard where the ammo was usually kept would only make the prosecution look silly.

If you find it please post it, tried to look but eyes started to glaze over.

Re: Sheila taking just 5 bullets, isn't a strong argument and I don't think you really buy that. 25 bullets were used from the counter top, so she is hardly likely to have gone elsewhere.

If handbags were put/kept on the worktop a box of loose bullets wouldn't have been missed. Was it June's handbag which was photographed there beside the box ?

The whole argument is based on an assumption that Sheila would notice the bullets and later remember them being there prior to first having to reload.

The defence narrative is simple. After shooting eight bullets into June and Nevill she then goes to where she knows the ammo is kept and loads five bullets. Realising soon after there is another source of ammunition on the kitchen worktop.

A prosecutions narrative is actually more problematic. Since only five bullets were taken from the cupboard and 20 from the kitchen table. Hence the killer used 20 bullets from the kitchen. Why then would Jeremy take five from the cupboard? He would undoubtedly know about the ones on the kitchen table since he put them there.

What time did Jeremy say he called police at trial? Was it 3.36?
It is a bit odd that he says he still has the caller jb on the line while relaying the message. Remember this was said at the Dickinson enquiry after the trial wasn’t it so why say it?

I don’t think a silencer was ever used and has been a red herring all along

Do you know what ? Because you know so much on the negative aspect of the case, why not drop a line to Mark Newby and tell him he's making the biggest mistake of his life/career in supporting someone who you know murdered the 5 people at WHF ? That way he might take notice of all the things you have to say to save him making a fool of himself. I would if I was in your shoes and felt so strongly about JB's guilt. Or write to the Mail like one of Bellfield's victim's family have done by telling the world to keep him in prison. Again, if it was one of my family members I'd do the same thing.

In the JB case there are probably as many who think like you do as there are that don't, so doubtless whatever was said/written would fall on deaf ears regardless of whose side you were on.

Don't play the victim Lookout! Earlier you stated that West made a statement i which he claimed to have received a call from Nevill. When I pointed out that this wasn't the case and asked you to produce the statement, you brushed  it off and then (as usual), you changed the subject.

I have gotten quite a few things wrong on here but I will hold my hands up when I do, you NEVER do! I don't care if people disagree with me and if can back things up, that's great. Don't try and used the old 'them and us' rhetoric!  ::)

I don't play the victim unlike some------------and neither do I react when defending my own opinion unlike some------------. Like yourself though, I won't find common ground nor a mutuality that goes with a discussion because I for one won't back down.

There are many things with this case that don't require " back-ups " , just common sense and I refuse to " go by the book " if I think it's wrong just because everyone else is going with the flow. I do and say things that I think is/are right and not what everyone else thinks or says. I'll only agree when and where I think it's necessary and not because everyone else does. It's my mind and I'll use it how I think fit.

Reading West's statements and Trial transcript on here in the archives, I can work out what West did and I'm pleased that I can understand what it was that he did so I explained in a post my thoughts on the subject but because it didn't tally with what you read as read I get a chorus of " no backups ".
There was never any backup with the wallet debacle or the last empty container after harvest but you still went ahead and argued the toss.

There's no need for the constant challenging. This is based on people thoughts it's not a bloody court-room.

No Lookout, when you make a claim , either back it up or don't make it. West never said he received a call from Nevill - and that is a FACT!

Never a back up with the wallet? Errr, when he answered the question, I posted what he said! By the way, what have you asked him or are you yet to actually write your first letter?  ::)

I've written quite a few letters and sent B/Day and Christmas cards as well. He'll be getting another letter, stamps included, showing my support for keeping his case going and reminding the world that he remains an innocent victim in all this. Positive vibes from me, no need to ask him questions, what for when he's done nothing ?
In my very first letter years ago I told him that I wasn't going to remind him what had happened but I did tell him from the start that I'd known in 1985 that it wasn't he who had committed the crime. My letters just consist of light-hearted news. I've avoided saying how disgusted I am with the justice system.

That isn't an explanation and it's your opinion which have you already given - it's not the definitive choice and makes no sense anyway. Bamber stated that she was there when he loaded the magazine and could hardly fail to miss the shells. It's also doesn't explain why she would only take 5.

How could she lose count - it's 5 not 305? anyway .....

How does Sheila going to the cupboard for ammo pan out? Jeremy said he loaded between 8 and 10 bullets, so that would be all she had to start with. To reload (given that she had no idea that there was a box open on the counter top), she would have to go to the cupboard in the study to get the '5' bullets. If we take it that there were 10 in magazine to start with, how did she manage to kill the twins and disable June and Nevill and get to the cupboard in the study, find and reload the 5 shots? There were 9 shots in the twins room alone, 13 in  the main bedroom, 1 on the stairs and 3 in the kitchen. No shots could have been fired prior to Nevill's supposed call so ....... 10 bullets and time to look for more in the  cupboard/study?

Title: Re: Five Magic Bullets
Post by: Caroline on November 21, 2019, 07:48:PM
The whole argument is based on an assumption that Sheila would notice the bullets and later remember them being there prior to first having to reload.

The defence narrative is simple. After shooting eight bullets into June and Nevill she then goes to where she knows the ammo is kept and loads five bullets. Realising soon after there is another source of ammunition on the kitchen worktop.

A prosecutions narrative is actually more problematic. Since only five bullets were taken from the cupboard and 20 from the kitchen table. Hence the killer used 20 bullets from the kitchen. Why then would Jeremy take five from the cupboard? He would undoubtedly know about the ones on the kitchen table since he put them there.

According to DB the shells were at the back of the cupboard in a carrier bag, 5 full boxes and one half full. According to your scenario, Sheila first of all must have known where the shells were kept, opened the carrier bag and took ONLY five shells. She must have taken them from the open pack and placed the pack back in the carrier - then off she went on the rampage again (have a break moment?). An altogether unlikely scenario the say the least!

What makes more sense (and isn't problematic at all - far from it). When Jeremy loaded the rifle, the magazine clearly already had 5 bullets loaded! He simply filled it with the rest from the new pack. He didn't mention that there were already bullets loaded because police would likely have asked why he them took time to load more, given that he was 'in a hurry' to shoot the rabbits, he couldn't say that he shot the rabbits either because, where are they? If they escaped - where are the spent bullets and casings.

He made a bit of a boob and one the police SHOULD have pursued.

Not just said - evidenced!

Hammersely (see below) found 29 loose bullets next to the cartridge box and one inside the box (picture below). These were submitted into evidence as DRH 22 (the 29 shells) and DRH 23 (the box and the single shell. That's 30 shells - not 25 as there should have been. Fletcher test fired these shells and also makes reference to there be 30 (see below).

That isn't the point Lookout, the point is that Jeremy couldn't have brought the gun out to shoot rabbits. Five extra can only mean there were 5 in the magazine, if he was in a hurry to shoot them, he wouldn't have needed to fill the rifle. There is no excuse or the extra five bullets.

OK, there are 50 shells in a pack, Jeremy opened a new box and tipped them onto the counter top. He said the magazine was empty (or he wouldn't have needed the new pack as he was in a hurry to shoot rabbits). 25 were used in the killings, so that should leave 25, BUT there were 30 shells found on the counter top not 25. The rifle MUST have had 5 shells already loaded and that's where the extra 5 come from. The story about being in a hurry to shoot rabbits is therefore BS!

So they were took out and reloaded for whatever reason. The FACT is they were there 30 shells left when there should have been 25. I can speculate as to why they were reloaded until the cows come home, but it is irrelevant to the point.

They could have been removed and replaced before the murders, however, the most likely reason is that Bamber ejected them onto the counter to see how many were in the clip, as such, they got mixed with the others on the counter top and replaced randomly.

No, I'm not ignoring it, I have answered each and every one of your questions. But you are asking me to explain to you why someone else would do something or how something happened. Yes, I can give you answers but because there is no definitive reason - you will simply keep asking the same question. I have asked you why there are five extra bullets and have shown you that the notion of him using the weapon to shoot rabbits is bull and given you reasons why from his own words - that's the main issue! However, the reloaded bullets could even be from misfires - they are certainly NOT from an attempt to hurry and shoot rabbits!

Nobody " hurries " when shooting rabbits, or they'd scarper or else be gone while you're thinking about it. He was just playing for time until the arguing stopped seeing as he was ready to go home.

So we're not just ignoring the statements and making up shit as we go along? READ his statements!

I'm simply trying to understand why Jeremy would take them out of the magazine and put them on the kitchen surface with the new bullets.

Where do you reckon Nevill would put bullets which they had removed from the magazine? Back in the original box? Neither of them were very organised were they?

So what is the suggestion here? Is it that Jeremy didn't empty out a box of bullets onto the kitchen surface before he left that evening, and the gun wasn't in the "back kitchen", it was in the gun cupboard? Then when he returned he had to go and get the gun and the bullets out of the cupboard?. The magazine happened to have five bullets already in it, and he emptied out the new box of bullets onto the kitchen surface? That would have been a bit noisy wouldn't it?

Actually, I didn't say any of that. But given that you seem to think Bamber is innocent, how did Sheila manage to leave five extra bullets on the counter?

This may be why the bullets were removed

https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/why-and-how-to-rotate-ammo/

Inspection Considerations: What To Look For
You should inspect your ammunition occasionally. When I pull the rounds out of my gun, I am looking for some specific indicators that it should be replaced. First, I’m going to look at the bullet itself. Some discoloration from handling is normal, but alterations in the shape of the bullet are not. Did it get slammed into the feed ramp and is now misshapen as a result? This is probably a good indicator that the whole cartridge has suffered some abuse, and the change in shape may impact the bullet’s performance. If the bullet is deformed, replace those rounds.

But he must have done because there were 6 not 5. One was still on the counter top, the others were fired from the rifle.

Here is Jones's account of Jeremy being asked about it.

According to Mr Fletcher, there were four bullets which had been loaded twice and which had been fired, and one which was still on the kitchen surface.

If these five bullets were still in the magazine prior to the murders, Jeremy or Sheila must have removed them from the magazine and put them with the new bullets. I'm curious as to why.

This is something that I believe Scipio first mentioned - at the time, I didn't take too much notice but having thought about it, it's pretty damming!

On 9th August 1985, Taff and Stan Jones called to see Jeremy, in a bid to put Stan's mind at rest Re: Jeremy being involved. Jeremy was asked about the sights and the moderator and was also asked about the bullets left on the counter top. As we know, there were 25 rounds used in the murders, Jeremy said he had grabbed a box of ammo just after spotting the rabbits (the box contained 50 rounds), he loaded 8-10 bullets into the EMPTY magazine clip, all the while RUSHING because he wanted to get the rabbits. All sounds fairly straight forward and with some simply maths you should be able to work out that from a box of 50 bullets with 25 used (none were used to shoot the rabbits), there should be 25 left on the counter. However, there were 30 - where did the 5 extra bullets come from?

There must have been 5 bullets already in the magazine. Jeremy probably didn't think this important initially, however, it's gets complicated when you filter in the rabbit story and his haste to shoot them. If he was in a hurry to shoot the rabbits, why did he need to fill the clip when there was 5 bullets already loaded? After all, he was in a hurry! He also states clearly that the magazine was empty but that no shots were fired at the rabbits. The story doesn't compute - it's a pity we don't have Taff Jones's witness statement because it was he who documented that there were 30 rounds left on the counter - this should have been pursued!
complete cherry picking...

Jeremy said he thought it was empty, according to Stan Jones. Perhaps it wasn't. However, that doesn't explain why the bullets were removed from the magazine prior to loading it. That applies to Sheila as well.

The other alternative is that the five bullets were not in the magazine, they were in the gun cupboard or wherever. The mystery of why Jeremy would find another five applies to Sheila too.

She goes to the cupboard to collected five bullets as that was where they were kept. Only noticing or recalling there being another source of ammo on kitchen worktop later on.  No mystery.

As for several bullets being loaded twice into the magazine. This is determined by the impressions left on the bullet when they are pressed down on the lips of the magazine. I believe it could be possible that one could press down with enough force to create the lip impressions but not enough force to get the bullet past the lip marks into the magazine. Hence it could just be a case of someone having difficulty loading as the force needed gets greater the more you load. But this is just a theory at present.

If the magazine was already loaded it would have had to have taken someone with no knowledge of loading to attempt a few more bullets, but it would have meant breaking all of Sheila's nails in the process.
Jeremy would have had no need to mess around with loose bullets as he'd have got the full quota with knowing about the workings etc of the rifle.

That's a possible scenario - five bullets for five people.

I'm not sure how a magazine is loaded - I'll see if I can find a video or something. In any case, in that scenario, at least one bullet which was not successfully loaded was removed and not loaded again.

This must be a joke! Something clearly went wrong with that plan! Sheila didn't load any bullets, Bamber brought the bullets, Bamber and the magazine which was already partially loaded - he removed the bullets (for whatever reason) and reloaded.

No, he said there were six! One full bullet left on the counter and 5 used cases. Bamber not Sheila has to have unloaded and reloaded because one of the bullets had to have come from the new pack! Also, Bamber gave his statement very soon after the murders and you're trying to say he didn't remember that the magazine was partially loaded? Please!

For what reason did he unload the bullets? Can you think of a valid reason he did that?

It really looks as though you're actually looking for an excuse for Bamber NOT to have done it. I have given several possibilities of why he may have unloaded the clip. However, to keep giving reasons why someone acted the way  they did is just to speculate. The FACTS are that Jeremy said the Magazine was empty, he took it, the rifle and a box of ammo from the study, tipped the ammo onto the counter top and loaded 8-10 rounds. 25 bullets were used in the killings, which should have left 25, there were 30 so clearly the magazine was partially loaded. He either loaded and reloaded or the box of ammo contained bullets that had previously been loaded and replaced on the box. Who knows - we never will, that's for sure.

I'm really not sure where you got the impression that I believe he brought his own bullets? - It never even crossed my mind.

Disregarding the previously loaded bullet found on the kitchen surface, I have considered the possibility that the other five had been previously loaded and unloaded, loaded again, and they then stayed in the magazine. Perhaps Jeremy was mistaken when he said the magazine was empty and there were five bullets in there. He could only have then loaded another five at most.

Of the five bullets which had been previously loaded, two were fired in the bedroom, one was fired in the kitchen, and two were fired in the children's bedroom.

No, but you have made an issue when others have speculated but seem to have no problem with it in this thread!

I didn't say they WERE in the magazine! I SAID they could have been in the box. You stated there were 49 in the box although you have failed to state where you got that from. That being the case, the box must have been open and the previously loaded bullets may have been in the box - having been unloaded from the magazine on a previous occasion.

Five of the bullets fired from the magazine were loaded twice, so I don't understand that last bit.

Title: Re: Five Magic Bullets

Basically, if Jeremy took a full box of 50 bullets, then there were either five already in the magazine, or he got five from elsewhere. I don't know why he would do that.

Of the five bullets which had been previously loaded, two were fired in the bedroom, one was fired in the kitchen, and two were fired in the children's bedroom.

No, Jeremy wasn't mistaken, he said he loaded 8-10 rounds into the magazine NOT 5!

So, if the bullets were in the rifle, it would mean the shooter fired twice in the bedroom, went into the twins room and then the kitchen. For starters, June was shot 3 times while in bed - not twice. It would mean one twin was shot leaving the other while they then headed off downstairs to shoot Nevill - once. The twice loaded bullets were loaded randomly! So they were either removed and reloaded from the Mag or they were in the box of ammo that Bamber tipped on the counter and the mag was already loaded with bullets that had been loaded once.

By the way, you can't just ignore the extra bullet!

IF the box that Bamber brought to the kitchen was open, it could have contained bullets that had been loaded and unloaded from the magazine and replaced in the box. This would explain the random nature of how those bullets were fired, given that they would have been tipped onto the counter altogether. The 'extra' 5 could have been bullets that has NOT been previously loaded.

So you think that five bullets from the box of 50 had been loaded, not used, unloaded and put back in the box?

The sixth bullet which had been loaded and unloaded was possibly from the box of 50 but wouldn't load right - hence it was separated from the others.

OK, I can see that. It's a bit thin though. He said he was in a rush and at virtually the same time he said he loaded 8-10 bullets. It's not like he said he was in a rush, and then later he had to come up with an explanation as to why he loaded another 3-5 bullets. He could have just said that there were bullets in the magazine and he just filled it right up with another few bullets.

He could have, but he didn't. I don't think it's thin - things in isolation will may seem that way, when you put them altogether though, that's what makes the difference.

Your possible explanation makes perfect sense - about there being five bullets in the magazine which were not removed, and that there were six bullets in the box which had previously been loaded into the magazine and then returned to the box.

I'm just wondering if Jeremy could have been mistaken rather than lying. I've watched videos of magazines being loaded and it's not clear how someone could tell how many bullets were in a magazine. They could see there was at least one though, but is it possible that he didn't see it?

Is it likely that five bullets would be left in the magazine from the last time it was used? I've read comments about Nevill being careful about guns, and how he put them away. I'm not sure that's the case though as guns were found in other places around the house.

This is the problem when we attribute certain qualities to characters. Whilst we may not insert that they "always" did, that's how it's read. I have no doubt that Nevill was usually "careful about guns", especially so when the children were around. However, it appears, that on the night in question, there was 'stuff' going on. "Always" can't 'always' be guaranteed. From the general state of the kitchen, if Nevill was usually meticulous -even careful- he was the only person in the house who was, but it was "only" the kitchen, and, I suspect, a working kitchen with sundry comings and goings. It's not impossible that the rest of the house looked very different.

I agree, but there was an insistence from some that Nevill always put guns away, and he clearly didn't. There were guns found in other places - the downstairs washroom, and the stairs leading from the kitchen - according to David Boutflour. They might not have been loaded, but they weren't put away, and the gun cupboard wasn't locked.

If the six bullets which had been loaded and unloaded before were put back in the box, that would suggest some kind of order, but if there were five bullets in the magazine, then that order wasn't always followed even before that night.

It also begs the question - if he was in a rush, why did he need to fill the magazine to shoot two rabbits?

It didn't.

Did Jeremy really get the gun out and leave all those bullets on the side before he went home? He didn't really need to do that. Sheila could have got the gun out herself and the bullets, or did he think that she wouldn't have done that?

He probably didn't NEED to, but leaving it there may have shown a spontaneity, a spur of the moment decision/momentary madness on Sheila's part. I don't imagine that the plan was for it to look as if she'd calculated it. He could also say that forgetting to put it away may have triggered the thought.

No, he didn't need to, which is why it's suspicious. In order for him to think that Sheila would get the gun out, he would have to be party to her thoughts - why, (if innocent), would he imagine that she would or wouldn't?

Didn't he go home though Sami, although he could have come back later to stay.  I like Caroline's theory, Neville took a shower downstairs before bed at night regular apparently, Bamber took care of things upstairs while he was showering, silencer on, waited for Neville then Bang as he came up stairs?

I think he tested the gun on the twins first, afraid that it might jam, then splayed his parents in the master bedroom with bullets, and whilst they came to their senses rushed downstairs to reload. I just can't picture Sheila having the energy or the nous to do this.

I'm not sure it was as simple as that. Remember Jeremy had spent many long nights at boarding school feeling out of his depth and thus welcomed company from all quarters. Brett may have caught wind of what was in the air and scarpered but there's no evidence to support it save some blog I recall from years ago that he knew how to enter and exit a country whilst bypassing passport control.

thats true steve,but no one could hear the twins or sheila while they were locked in the farm,had june or neville managed to get out and start screaming,that could have ruined the whole plan,plus the number of shots to each twin tells me he was in no hurry or else two shots a piece to the head would be enough

What about, Neville has gone for the trailer that Bamber left him, Sheila is in June’s bedroom chatting about religion, Bamber quickly goes upstairs, shoots the twins, Sheila jumps up with the muffled noise of the silencer, Bamber meets her coming out the bedroom, orders her inside, he shoots June several times, orders Sheila to lie down, bang then shoots June quickly again realises Sheila isn’t dead and offers the second shot?  Neville returns but goes straight in shower, Bamber then had ample time for Neville.  Then he drives home, so could it have been done earlier than everyone is led to believe?

It had to look like the work of a crazed woman -which actually wouldn't have been easy- shooting randomly. He didn't get it QUITE right because every bullet went home, but he made sure they were well peppered.

I don't believe that theory of making it look like overkill. I think the eight shots to the twins happened at the same time, which means that whoever shot them used pretty much a full magazine to do so.

Wasn’t it another coincidence there was no bullet’s left in the magazine or breach?  Even down to Sheila using the last two.  It’s as though someone who use’s guns regular by habit has left it safe?  This could explain the over kill Sami, using up the bullet’s.

Wasn’t it another coincidence there was no bullet’s left in the magazine or breach?  Even down to Sheila using the last two.  It’s as though someone who use’s guns regular by habit has left it safe?  This could explain the over kill Sami, using up the bullet’s.

Another coincidence!
