Imagine the significance it would have made to the case, if the shotgun had been discharged in anger on an occasion prior to the use of the anshuzt rifle in the main sequence of events later on?
In my view, was the shotgun used in anger that evening, yes...
Was the anshuzt rifle used in the dhootings of the victims, yes...
Did Sheila also puck up the BSA air rifle intent on using that, yes...
police took a metal detector to the scene on the 8th August1985, on the pretense of helping them locate missing bullets, and cartridges, but they also took it along to help them recover lead shots discharged from the empty Raker cartridge case found liaded but empty inside the breach of the shotgun. Now, if all if this is true, then ask yoyrselves why would Jeremy, or any other as yet unidentified killer, or assassin use a 12 bore shotgun to try to kill 5 members of the family? Well, actually none of the victims appeared to have been directly shot at with use of the 12 bore shotgun, but it does seem to me that it was perhaps fired at the scene on the evening of 6th August 1985...
