The rifle at the upstairs window Conundrum - The Bamber Alibi, revisted...

[Steve_uk]

There wasn't another rifle in the house, Jeapes was mistaken and her account is not corroborated.

..or her husband ordered her to remain silent. Strange that we haven't heard a whiff from her in thirty years..

[guest2181]

Except there is a photograph of a rifle exactly as Jeapes described resting by the window.

The police indicate that is the rifle that they removed from the body of Sheila at around 10:30am.

Photograpgh 23 was taken after the rifle was removed.

Jeapes was not at White House Farm at that time.

In fact the photographer and Jeapes were never at the premises at the same time.

so where is the second rifle.did lemonhead not tell you earlier that no other rifles were found.

If there was two rifles id love to know. what lemonhead tells people is not nessisarily a fact.

What about all of the other police officers that you haven't heard from? There were many involved, why pick on Jeapes?

[guest2181]

Nope.

Its easy for Police to say that, and if so why did it take over two decades to get it disclosed? Its a rather bad way of handling the weapon

[lookout]

Yeah and they has 'shotguns!

Yeah,with Sheila's prints on it to boot.

[David1819]

Wasn't her expertise firearms? Mike will correct me if I'm mistaken.

Yes she was a weapons instructor for training armed police

It didn't. It was discussed at the trial.

I have previously posted that part of the transcript for you.

[guest154]

Yeah,with Sheila's prints on it to boot.

What would that matter, if true. A shotgun wasn't used in the crime.

[lookout]

..or her husband ordered her to remain silent. Strange that we haven't heard a whiff from her in thirty years..

Did she not die Steve ? I know one of them did,which would account for not hearing anything.

[guest2181]

It didn't. It was discussed at the trial.
