Funny how this metal cap became a court exhibit during the 1986 trial, yet nothing was known about it at the time, and no explanation has been officially forthcoming about how it ended up in police possession by 14th September 1985?
What I can't understand...
police supposedly find Sheila in the bedroom with a gun atop her body and there is nothing fitted to the end of the guns barrel, which is spotlessly clean and blood free, and three of four police officers search the gun cupboard that morning inside which we are being asked to believe the silencer and the end cap that could be fitted onto the barrel of the gun was hidden? Police did not find either exhibit on that day or on any other day before they gave the keys to the farmhouse back to Ann Eaton on evening of 9th August 1985? I can't understand why the relatives did not find the end cap at the same time they found the silencer, and why they should choose the find of the silencer over the find of the metal end cap, and decide which of the two was fitted to the end of the guns barrel at the time when Ralph was attacked in the kitchen, and Sheila shot and killed in the bedroom?
How could the relatives who were so meticulous in their pursuance of finding key pieces of evidence, miss the metal end cap inside the gun cupboard, where it remained until 14th September 1985 when David Boutflour found it there?
