The following information should be helpful to all those who genuinely want to know the truth about the silencer, blood and paint evidence. There were in fact two identical looking Parker Hale silencers, which for simplistic reasons I shall refer to as, silencer (1) and silencer (2)...
Silencer (2) was the one found by the relatives, it did not get sent to the lab` to be checked for blood and fibres, until 20th September 1985. It was not actually examined for the very first time until 25th September 1985. Paint from the aga surround was found to be ingrained into its end cap. No blood which was unique and exclusive to Sheila was found inside this (2) silencer. It originally had a grey hair stuck to it when Peter Eaton handed it over to DS 'Stan` Jones on evening of 12th August. It also had a distinctive shiny scratch mark along its edge when examined by David Boutflour at Ann Eatons house on 10th August...
Silencer (2) did not get sent to the lab` on 13th August. It was not fingerprinted by oblique light test on 15th August, nor by superglue on 23rd August. It was not dismantled, rebuilt, and screwed onto the barrel of the rifle by DI 'Ron` Cook, on 29th August, and it was not sent to the lab' for the attention of MDF on 30th August...
