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?
