'Z' s account of what police found once they got into the kitchen
Two bodies, neither checked properly to see if still alive, it turns out Sheila was not shot at all, but that there was blood on the floor beside where her body was laying. Police now know that she was faking being dead, but in their haste to search the farmhouse and look for all the other potential victims, they left Sheila's body in the kitchen unsupervised...
This mistake...
led to further complications later when Sheila got upstairs and shot herself by use of a rifle with a silencer fitted to its barrel, this other rifle was the .22 air rifle, not the .22semi-automatic anshulz rifle, police believe that Sheila gathered up this air rifle at the bottom of the stairs in the kitchen, and that she took it upstairs with her to the bedroom. Sheila was shot with use of the .22 air rifle in the side of the neck at a time when a silencer was fitted to the end of its barrel, this is what 'Z' told me...
Mike, I believe the evidence or tale being submitted by 'Z' is incorrect regarding the air rifle.
IF the police KNEW Sheila used the .22 air rifle, then why would they not dispose it? Instead - without it being cleaned - the Police handed the gun over to me upon Jeremy's imprisonment.
they must be more stupid than i thought
Police handed whf over to the relatives, which if we are to believe what we have been told, contained the silencer, the .22 air rifle and all the other weapons and ammunitions, part of which was used in the shootings, at least in the case of the silencer and the .22 air rifle, and a 12 bore shotgun, and not forgetting Anthony Pargeters .22 bolt action rifle, if it was there or not?
'Z' showed me a photograph of Sheila on the bed when there was only one wound present there - if you were to look at this photograph and take out the upper entry wound and accompanying trail of blood and fingermarks from it, and also the horizontal type blood trail from the lower wound (which is an overlay from the blood from the upper entry wound, you would be left with the lower entry wound, and a vertical trail of dried blood running from the lower entry wound - this is as close to what I saw regarding blood flow from the lower wound in the photograph which 'Z' showed to me the other day:-
There was no rifle barrel against the neck in the photograph 'Z' showed me...
Mike, the air rifle was not left at whf.....it was given to me.....by the police themselves! Therefore, I do believe it was not used..........and they had hold of that rifle along time before I got hold of it.
Funnt then...
Why police should seize it along with 12 bore shotgun and fingerprint it, and find fingerprints on both whIch police became Interested in? The .22 air rifle was eventually found by relatives at bottom of small stairs in kitchen, within a very short distance of Ralph` body, and on the route Sheila took to get upstairs. There is even a belief that the rifle which WPC Jeapes saw leaning against the bedroom window before armed police went in, could have been the air rifle which was used to inflict the first shot...
Mike: What does 'Funnt then......' mean? I have no idea.
Regarding the rifle, I do not understand how, 'Z' can say that the Police KNEW the air rifle was used......that they knew from the beginning. My point is, if the Police KNEW this, then why would they hand it to me. They had it in their possesssion for a few years before they delivered it to me.
Why did they not 'lose' it? Instead, they handed it to me personally, in the full knowledge that one day this rifle could be used at a later date should their be any discrepencies in the case.
Also, 'Z' stated (I believe), that relatives/whf held the rifle. That in fact is incorrect information.
You know these facts already......upon all the info I have, this does not add up.
FIrst of all...
Pollice handed over one of the two principle silencers in this case over to the relatives, so it does not necessarily follow that if it was used the police would not hand it over...
Secondly...
Relatives took possessIon of the .22 Air rifle from the scene on 10th August, they kept it until afternoon of 12th August. At which point Jeremy went to see the Eatons, demanding its return. The relatives handed Jeremy it back, along with the 12 bore shotgun. If relatives had got the silencer by that stage they would have given it back, also...
Air rifle was used, in the same way one of the two principle silencers was used, and handed back...
Mike, this does not add up. You said that the relatives handed the air rifle back to Jeremy. But Cd's said that the police handed it to Cd's? How did the police get it again?
Simple enough explanation...
(1) Air rifle at scene with silencer fitted to its barrel, and used to shoot Sheila
(2) Police cover up involved DS `Stan` Jones taking silencer off air rifle and putting the silencer back in the gun cupboard, and in its place he took the other silencer belonging to Anthony Pargeter which was kept in the downstairs toilet, into his possession
(3) Police left air rifle, and silencer which was attached at the time Sheila was shot at the scene, so that when polIce handed keys over to Ann Eaton on evening of 9th August, air rifle and silencer, were effectively handed over insitu by the police to the relatives
(4) Air rifle was recovered by Ann Eaton from the small spiral staircase in the corner of tHe kitchen
(5) Silencer remained in gun cupboard where DS Jones had put it, and was not found by the relatives until after Jeremy had been arrested on the first occasion in early September...
(6) Relatives took air rifle home and kept it there until Jeremy asked for it back on afternoon on 12th August
(7) Jeremy retained possess of air rile, untiil time of his next arrest, at which point police took possession of it from hios cottage with the co-operation of his relatives
(8) Police also took possession of a 12 bore shotgun which was being va$ued at Sotherbys, both were finger printed
(9) After trial police want to return air rifle to Jeremy who ios convicted and serving life imprisonment, prison refuse to keep air rife in prison property store, so Jeremy m$akles arrangement for police to hand it over to person I
