I expect circumstantial evidence raises its head in a lot of cases but maybe without all the descrepancies and blunde, the police made.
its very unsettling this case. The moderator played a big part and i dont see why if he was staging the scene and had used the moderator he didnt simply toss it on the floor near shiela.take it off and put it back in the box in the cupboard makes no sense.
Too many things dont make sense and i would need to see all the trial transcripts on this to have a clearer opinion.
in the meantime im sitting on the fence.
Bamber shot everyone and Sheila with the silencer attached.
He either knew beforehand the silencer had to be taken off prior to putting it on Sheila. Or he realised at the time.
So it was either a planned or spur of the moment decision to put it away, inside a box, virtually out of site at the back of the gun cupboard.
I doubt he gave me it much thought at the time. Not being aware of back splatter. And not expecting the relatives to carry out a search.
The reason he put it away was because he wanted it to look like the massacre was carried out without a silencer. Sheila had zero experience with a rifle, people may ask how she was able to work out how to take it off in her rage.
Bamber was much more likely to commit the massacre with a silencer. Having it on display next to Sheila will give people more reason to be suspicious. They would say Bamber committed the massacre with the silencer attached, then took it off because he had to, after shooting Sheila.
The most unlikely reason he put it away, is because he was aware of back splatter. So knew there was a chance the police would test it. Which would leave Bamber banged to rights. But surely he would throw it away, wouldn't he ?
