Adam's Claims...

[Adam]

Another advantage of a silencer is it made the rifle longer.

He was able to get two close range shots at Nevill from June's side of the bed.

Shooting June first a silencer was important.  Nevill was next to her. But Nevill was still able to react at the last second.

[ILB]

He would take the silencer off after shooting Sheila. She was shot last.

This was after realising on the night or knowing beforehand she could not shoot herself with it on.

It was then a case of - 'do I leave it next to Sheila, or put it back in it's box when I go downstairs'.

I am shocked he didn't clean or throw it to be honest.

I believe he shot Nevill first. I also believe Nevill was awake.

Another advantage of the silencer would be in the twins bedroom.

Shot first or second. The rifle was longer with a silencer for Bamber on June's side of the bed.

If he chose to shoot June first as me & CAL believe, the silencer would help in preventing Nevill from waking.

In a box at the back of the gun cupboard. As good as thrown to him.

Assume the sights were also in the gun cupboard.

Have to agree with Williams - Thomas that he would have disposed of it. Or gave it a thorough clean.

Bamber would have handled the silencer and may have also felt wet blood.

Just my opinion.

Do you think putting it back in it's box would have been ok if he had cleaned it?

[ILB]

Struggle with Bamber " realising on the night that shelias arms would have not been long enough "

He himself had used the rifle before and would have been able to work this out beforehand.

I would expect him to have cleaned it.

Or just disposed of it entirely.

Could have chucked it into the sea on his way back before having a burger with the teenagers camped out.

Beforehand or on the night. He took it off after shooting Sheila.

[ILB]

Beforehand or on the night. He took it off after shooting Sheila.

Beforehand, he by his own admission used the rifle sporadically.

If the moderator has come into contact with skin, your first instinct is to clean it at the very least. You don't have to be forensic minded to do this, even by 85 standards.

The scratch he could do nothing about.

He could have noticed the paint, blood on the outside and grey hair. Depends how dark it was.

Decided to just put it back in it's box at the back of the gun cupboard.

Was not expecting the relatives to be suspicious & get access to WHF to snoop.

[Adam]

If he was going to the trouble of taking the sights off, putting the silencer on is no problem.

Lots of reasons why he would do both.
