I suppose someone could ask Peter Eaton exactly what he did? At least it will stop the speculation.

I'm sure they already have,

Was it ever established WHEN Peter Eaton went to WHF to return whatever it was?  Was it before the key was returned to the family, or after? ie was the key returned on the 9th or on the 10th?

The key was returned on 9th - he and his wife Ann met the police at WHF who showed Ann around the property explaining basically what happened. But the only thing about the gun is mentioned in David's statement - he gives no times. However, apparently the event was also mentioned by Robert Boutflour. I will search for this statement and post it if I find it.

So no mystery then? He went there legally.

It wasn't suggested that he went there 'illegally' (not sure where you got that from). The question (NOW) is from what David Boutflour has said in his statement do you think that he is saying Peter Eaton 'returned a gun to WHF on 9th Aug' or that while he was at WHF, he simply put a gun away somewhere? If he 'returned a gun why would he? Given that members of the family (Ann and David) were going to WHF the following day (Saturday) to remove all of the guns.

I got it from the beginning of the thread where it was questioned whether he went there before he got the key or after he got the key. For if he went there before he got the key it would have meant that he had to break in. Hence the word "elegally". But it has since been settled that he went there after he got the key.

I see, but the point of the question was in reference to the gun rather than the key but I can see where it got confused.
