why not wipe the gun.

[nugnug]

jeremy bambers finger prints were found on the riffle he cliamed this was becouse he was shoting rabbits.

but if he was the killer surely  all he had to do was wipe the clean then place it in sheilas hand and only sheilas fingerprints would be on it.

that would make the case aginst sheila almost cast iron so why dident he.

nugnug in my opinion Jeremy Bamber needed his prints on the rifle had he been shooting rabbits as part of his plan to convince EP that Sheila was the culprit.

[nugnug]

how does leaving his prints on the gun convince them that sheilas the culprit wouldent it better for there to be only her prints on it.

[lookout]

Jeremy didn't bother " wiping " any of his tracks. He didn't seem to bother/worry that he'd allegedly killed 5 people that he may have just left some sort of a clue,anything. He even handed over the keys to the place without first going in and checking,though it's been said that this created a diversion of sorts to make it look as though he hadn't been there since he left for home on the night of the tragedy.

[nugnug]

i mean if he had just wiped the gun clean before placeing it in her hand he wouldn't need to make up any storys to explain how his prints got there because his prints wouldn't be there.

[lookout]

They don't look at things that way,nugs.Remember,they had to seal the deal and get a conviction by hook or by crook.Their livelihood depended on it !

Hi nugnug Jeremy told the police he loaded the rifle to shoot rabbits the night before and left the rifle and a box of ammunition out.  IMO this was to convince EP that the rifle was ready for Sheila to use. I of course and others on the forum do not believe he was shooting rabbits at all but we do not have concrete proof neither does anyone else that he did shoot rabbits.

[nugnug]

but he dident have to tell if he had wiped the gun clean he dident have to explains being on there if they werent there.

he dident have to tell the police he loaded the gun he could of said his father did

if he had wiped the gun so there was just sheilas prints on it surely then the only suspect would be her.

How would Neville have loaded the gun without leaving his finger prints on it and WHY would he have left a loaded gun laying around?

[nugnug]

nevile could of being wearing gloves when he did it couldn't he.

Jeremy has no reason to tell them he loaded the gun i think he dosent even really have come up with an explanation as to why it was loaded he can just let the the police assume sheila loaded it.

nugnug it is documented that Jeremy told EP he had loaded the rifle the evening of the murders to shoot rabbits so his fingerprints had to be on the rifle not Ralph's.  I for one have doubts about this by the way it was a story he made up to convince EP the rifle was loaded all ready for Sheila to use.  Just as I see it. The reason I do not believe this story is because had it been true probably Ralph would have put the rifle away in a safe place from the children.

[nugnug]

well he deosnt really have to explain why the gun was loaded anyway he could of just said to his knowledge it wasn't loaded

much better than admitting to handling it.

if he had just wiped the gun he dident need to tell any story.

April  is nugnug winding me up

[nugnug]

ip he wipes the gun clean places it in sheilas hands there will be only sheilas prints on it he doesn't have to tell them who loaded it he can say to his knowledge it wasn't or he dident see the gun so he doesn't know who loaded perfectly plausible explanation.

the police will probely assume sheila loaded it with only her prints on it what other conclusion can they come to.
