We have all 'seen' the documentation which shows that Ann Eaton handed a silencer to DC Oakey on the 11th September,1985. We have all seen the documentation which confirms that David Boutflour contacted police on the 12th September, 1985, to tell them that 'he' had found the silencer to the gun. We have all seen documentation that Fletcher claims that he stripped the silencer down on the 11th September, 1985, and that 'he' it was who discovered the flake of dried blood, says he, that it was trapped in between baffles 1 and 2...
We have all seen how Fletcher then handed the flake and the silencer to John Hayward the blood expert, on the following day (12th September, 1985), and how it took a further 7 days of analysis, so that by 19th September, 1985, a total of four separate blood groups had been identified ( A, EAP BA, AK/1, and HP 2-1) which were subsequently attributed has having originated from Sheila Caffell - but hang on a minute, before anyone starts to get carried away here with such a statement.
