Five Magic Bullets

He would have had to reload after shooting the twins. He might have had bullets in his pocket, but it would still take time to reload.

This is where the second magazine would come in, or could he have fired two in each leaving  seven spare?

Why go and shoot them again though?

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?

I have heard such a scenario before but don't forget it would all have to occur after the 10 o' clock telephone call from Pamela.

I read that story very early on in my association with the case-probably about seven years ago. I know it's not been mentioned exclusively by myself since so maybe someone could direct us to the source?

Its been a theory of mine Steve, I’m sure it was a lot easier then, but his passport must have shown him going out and coming back in it was stamped I think?

It was suggested over kill at one time to make it look more like Sheila, I’d go for second Magazine or Bamber reloading, remember both him and Sheila would have to reload fast, I’d go for Bamber being the quickest.  Maybe he went into June’s room first, with a muffled shot I don’t think he’d wake the twins up?

Yes it was. There are many hoaxes around. I remember Radio 5 Live following the Diana accident saying an eyewitness in Paris had seen her walking away from the ambulance.

But this would definitely be part of the plan, Sami. He never intended to look like Jeremy, an excellent marksman and winner of school prizes, had done it. 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.

good point jane,with her balance, hand and eye coordination she couldnt possibly hit the target evertime

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.

Yes I agree, it still leaves three then, not as many to reload.

two careful shots a piece would have been enough remember they were a sleep so the targets were stationery,using 8 is overkill jb knew what he was doing

Yes it’s strange why he fired that many in the twins Sami?  Must have been a reason.

you already said it rj,and i totally agree,overkill to blame sheila

I wouldn’t think it would take four bullets Sami, got to be a reason mate I don’t think Sheila for one minute could load that magazine quick and to maximum each time with them nails,  like I said, Fletcher broke one of his just removing the catch and his was short.
