So Mike, will you please us by revealing OR tease us by withholding ;D
I received information about the shotgun blast overheard by the witness Smith which he reportedly heard / reported coming from the general vicinity of whf between 9:30 and 10:15pm, on evening 6th August 1985.Apparently Smith told police that th shotgun blast had been discharged outside the farmhouse, not inside. This would have been at the time Ralph walked his dogs. Anyway, police looked into the possibility that Ralph could have been confronted by someone and that he had fired off a shot with the 12 bore. Police received information that an estate car with ladders on its roof was seen travelling up Pages Lane around the time of the shotgun blast. Police search the grounds for any spent shotgun cases but did not find any - the only spent cartridge caze case found at the scene was a solitary Raker shotgun cartridge found inside the same box as the silencer, anshulz rifles metal end cap in the gun cupboard in the downstairs office. Police had found a shotgun downstairs at the scene which Ralph normally kept loaded under his bed - when police found this gun at the scene it still had a spent RAKER cartridge in its barrel. Peter Eaton took the spent cartridge out of the guns barrel and concealed it in the same box David Boutflour found the silencer in on the following day. He also put the aforementioned shotgun back in there...
Police searched gun cupboard on 7th August and there was no silencer present. Keys to whf were handed to Eatons on evening on 9th August, and Peter Eaton put shotgun and spent cartridge case in the gun cupboard - more importantly, he placed spent RAKER shotgun cartridge in same box sikencer was didcovered on the following day by David Boutflour...
This activity was not knpwn about by anybody else other than the relatives...
