None of the 25 bullets or part bullets were scientifically linked to any of the 25 cartridge cases that 'eventually' formed part of the so called batch of crime scene ammunition. What I mean by that / this, is that crimping marks made during them manufacturing stage found present on the casings were absent or different on the base lines of the 25 bullets / part bullets. Furthermore, the chemical composition of the residual charge inside these cartridge cases were not matched, or were different in the bullets. This was /is totally unsatisfactory, since there is no way of telling whether or not any of the 25 bullets that form part of the crime scene batch (in existence from 20th September 1985, onward) were fired via the anshuzt rifle at one and the same time. I do not believe it to be sufficient for anyone to rely upon the notion that just because each of the 25 cartridge cases have got many identifying marks upon them linking them to the ammunition magazine, and the extracter / ejection mechanism of the anshuzt rifle, that anyone can be certain that any of these 25 cartridge cases were loaded and fired from the anshuzt rifle at the time of the murders, since they could have been fired later from the anshuzt rifle, lets for argument sake say during unreported test firing of the anshuzt rifle, which we now know did take place using previously unfired rounds of Eley .22 type ammunition? We know that not one single follower mark was found on any single cartridge case in the final batch of these cartridge cases, which raises strong suspicion that these 25 cartridge cases which formed part of the batch of crime scene ammunition from 20th September 1985, onward, could quite easily have been swapped over, with a view of trying to present a misleading case for these shootings to have been the result of a one gun crime, when it had not been. I cannot for the life of me believe that the authorities have got away with making this case into a one gun crime simply by presenting 25 cartridge cases which at one time or another had been fired via the anshuzt rifle, without a single example of a single bullet having been linked or matched up with or too any of the 25 cartridge cases, by reliance upon manufacturers crimping marks, and lack of matching residues between any bullet or case..
It should also be noted, that upon reception at the Lab' the packaging of these crime scene exhibits had been cut open and resealed with cellotape...
