Loose flake found trapped between baffle plates one and two, could have got into the silencer on some unrelated occasion, other than at the time Sheila was shot and killed in the bedroom...
Not to be overlooked, is the fact that on 29th August 1985, one day before the silencer (DB/1) was submitted to Huntingdon Lab' (30th August 1985) Detective Inspector Cook (SOC) dismantled the same silencer, and exposed its internal baffle plates to the possibility of innocent or accidental contamination, by laying out the removed baffle plates on the same worktop that he had also placed the bloodstained Bamber rifle, before rebuilding the silencer - placing the removed baffle plates back into the tubing and once it had been rebuilt, Cook did the unthinkable, he physically screwed the rebuilt silencer back onto the screw thread on the end of the bloodstained rifle, further exposing the silencer to the possibility of innocent or accidental contamination...
The court was never told about Cooks (SOC) experiments, that he performed with the silencer, and the bloodstained Bamber rifle on 29th August 1985 - but Cook took a series of photographs depicting his examination and experiments performed on that date, which he sent to the ballistic expert at the lab' along with the rifle and silencer he submitted there, on 30th August 1985...
By virtue of these activities - the ballistic expert knew that Cook had dismantled the silencer and rebuilt it, and that he had screwed the rebuilt unit onto the barrel of the bloodstained rifle before sending both to the Lab' on 30th August 1985, but Fletcher ignored for the possibility that some form of innocent or accidental contamination could have taken place, but instead choose to introduce his general theory of BACKSPATTER to account for the presence of the flake of blood inside the silencer....
When all along he knew of the possibility that the flake could have got into the silencer at the time Cook dismantled and rebuilt the silencer on 29th August 1985...
As a result court which tried Bamber was deceived into accepting the theory of Fletcher to account for how Sheila's blood group type, got into the silencer at the time she was shot in the bedroom - when all along this explanation may have been inaccurate and very misleading...
