Blood and DNA
(1) Blood was found inside the silencer, in the following quantities:-
(2) End cap / aperture - human blood and two lots of animal blood (type AK1)
(3) Trapped between Baffles one and two, small flake, producing blood group activity (A, EAP BA, AK1 and HP 2-1)
(4) Human blood on all other baffles down as far as the 8th baffle plate (not identifiable to any specific individual)
(5) No blood at all on 9th Baffle
(6) No blood at all on 10th Baffle
(7) No blood at all on 11th Baffle
(8) No blood at all on 12th Baffle
(9) No blood at all on 13th Baffle
(10) No blood at all on 14th Baffle
(11) No blood at all on 15th Baffle
(12) No blood at all on 16th Baffle
(13) No blood at all on 17th Baffle
(14) DNA belonging to Shela Caffell in internal screw thread end at bottom of silencer

Blood group activity, A, EAP BA, AK1 and HP 2-1, found in loose flake (3) did not mix intimately with any other blood found inside the silencer. All other blood found inside silencer was in the form of bloodstains, whereas, the blood group activity was obtained from a small loose flake of dried blood trapped between baffle plates one and two, once ballistic expert, Malcolm Fletcher dismantled the silencer after it was received at the lab' at Hungtingdon, on 30th August 1985 (actual dismantling of silencer by Fletcher may have taken place on some later date, before 12th September 1985)...
