There is no reason why the police should find the silencer in the first 3 days:

[lookout]

How come Jeremy"  knew the bible " too,as it was left by Sheilas' side with the Psalms 51-55 visible ? Was he also into religion ? Or a Theologian perhaps ? Doesn't really bode well with lobster and champagne though.

The sad thing about this was that the jury never knew the significance of those Psalms,nor did a lot of people

[lookout]

 Adam,do me a favour and read Psalms 51-55 then tell me how Jeremy arrived at those very pages,or even why. Bearing in mind that he hadn't got a clue about religion that he was drip-fed it by his mother that he was sick to death of hearing about anything connected to it.
Why would he choose those particular Psalms ? 

[Jan]

so you are clearly saying the silencer was used - and Jeremy put it in the cupboard thinking it would not be discovered - so he scrabbled around on the floor , found a box , put it at the back of the cupboard . So all of my questions are relevant .

Do you think it was on when he shot Sheila ? Or did he take it off before then?
Do you think he used it by mistake ? not realising that it would make the rifle too long when "staging the suicide" just more bad planning on his part?

He was pretty confident that the police would not do even the proper procedure on what was still a murder case- even if it was followed by suicide wasn't he.

If Sheila was into religion and June a 'religious maniac' as Jeremy called her, then he may know a bit about religion.

Or he could have browsed the bible beforehand. He had access to it.

what whilst doing 17hour  days? don't think so.

Maybe the bible was open at those pages when Jeremy arrived at the farm late on when they were all sleeping.  I have often wondered if Jeremy knew more about Sheila than we know about.

So before killing everyone,or after,even,he's going to waste precious time flicking through a bible to find the appropriate pages ? How would he know when he knew nothing about religion ?
Just because he had access to them doesn't mean to say that he took notice of them. Playboy magazines were more his heavy,weren't they ?

I am saying that it was used. Which is following the evidence.

Yes, Jeremy shot Sheila with the silencer on. As the evidence shows. Everyone else was shot with the silencer on, it makes sense to use it.

He may have only realised on the night that the rifle was too long. Or may have known beforehand and decided to use the silencer.

Yes. He was confident. Telling Julie he was watertight and it was an 'open and shut case'. He was right. Only the relatives found the silencer.

It's not exactly hard to find doom and gloom in the bible.  I don't beleive Jeremy wasn't at least familiar with it having grown up with June.

I was thinking the same thing Susan or we might just be reading too much into the significance. I'm sure there are hundreds of pages in the bible that are similar in tone.

Mat - you are correct - he must of read it when he threatened the dog with it :D

and he probably heard her quoting it all the time to be honest. But don't think he would have time to pick a particular page.

No time to pick up a particular page ?

[lookout]

 No doubt he would have been familiar with the Bibles,but it probably went in one ear and out of the other.
Why choose those particular Psalms,which refer to the sins,evil and transgressions,along with forgiveness.
Sorry,but I can't either see,nor imagine Jeremy speaking or thinking like that.

[Jane]

Only if it was a page he knew,. One which perhaps he'd had to memorize. The Bible is a very large book.

That's about 80% of the bible.
