That gun was loaded whilst Sheila shot it. She showed no further interest in guns for the next seven years. I don't know how many guns were involved in the White House Farm murders.
What that malicious article written by a misguided ex-con who has influenced the editorship of the Guardian is doing to Colin I shudder to think.
I shudder to think how David Boutflour and the rest of the relatives feel about David Boutflour having shown Sheila Caffell how to load ammunition into a gun, and fire it, and deny any knowlege of him being irresponsible in doing so whilst testifying, but whilst at the same time how the very same relatives spoke of Jeremy having been showing Sheila how to load bullets into a rifle which incidentally she did not fire! Pick on Jeremy selectively, yeah, for sure! But we all now know that David Boutflour and the other relatives had an agenda - 'we must take control of the families fortune, it's ours and no outsider is going to get their hands upon it'!
If Jeremy Bamber played any role whatsoever in these murders (not the alleged suicide of Sheila) it was as I believe in the fact that he was showing a mentally disturbed sister how to load ammunition into a rifle, a rifle which fired some of the bullets during the shootings, but not all! This is how I picture in my mind's eye, his potential influence in the proceedings! But by the same token this also applies to David Boutflour! He too was negligent in showing Sheila how to load ammunition into a gun, and (wait for it) fire it!!!
I have had decades to consider Jeremy Bambers plight!
I believe he did and was showing his sister at one time or another how to load bullets into a rifle! I can't be 100% certain that it was the anshuzt rifle that he might have been showing his sister how to load! But I believe that June Bamber did tell her sister Pamela Boutflour that she had seen Jeremy showing Sheila how to load bullets into a gun! I can't see Pamela Boutflour making up such a story about what her sister (June Bamber) told her regarding this! I accept that insofar as Jeremy's role is concerned in this activity it amounts to hearsay, but from June's perspective regarding what she told her sister I believe it has a ring of truth about it! I believe it!
But, David Boutflour also taught Sheila how to load ammunition into a gun, and shoot it!
Worse still the blighter kept quiet about this whilst testifying during the October 1986 trial, or making witness statements in connection with this case to the police!
It was negligent in my view what both Jeremy Bamber, and David Boutflour did, in showing Sheila how to load bullets into a gun, and beyond that /this in David Boutflour's case, allowing Sheila to fire the gun!!!
