Easter Quiz time - who am i describing ?

[sherlock]

It's not impossible at all when you consider that prints of an " unknown male " had been traced on the rifle which obviously weren't Jeremy's or they'd have said.
 

Anthony told Police he has picked up the murder weapon when he visited the farm a few days before ...

This was almost the first thing he told Police ...

Was he pre explaining why his fingerprints might be found on the murder weapon ?

Removing fingerprints from metal is harder than you might think - even with 1985 forensics ...

Think this scenario through :

Anthony arranged to meet Neville at the farm late at night ...

Neville let him in to talk ...

Anthony points the rifle at Neville during an argument and demands Neville gets Jeremy there now ...

Neville does not imagine that Anthony will shoot - he thinks it will be resolved through talking ...

At gun point Neville phones Jeremy and says about Sheila as Anthony instructs him too ...

Anthony ends the call by unplugging the phone ...

Neville still thinks the situation can be resolved by talking ....

Before Neville realises how serious it is Anthony shoots him ....

Neville had a struggle with someone ...

Why is it not perfectly possible that that was Anthony ?

Jeremy had no physical signs of having struggled with anyone ...

Why is it far fetched that Anthony did it ?

Can you point me in the right direction to find out more about ap please

[sherlock]

He wouldn't have had to shoot Sheila twice either.

Why not ?

According to his witness statements he was an award winning marksman and in his opinion Jeremy was a great shot too ...

Sorry it's put my reply in the quote,
I said food for thought...

[sherlock]

No one FOUND any marks on Jeremy because no one was looking for marks on Jeremy. Why is it so important to you that it was Anthony did it?

It is not important to me that Anthony did it ...

I am Sherlock ...

I am trying to rule everybody out ...

At the moment i am having very serious difficulty indeed in ruling Anthony out ....

You're welcome Lucy. You may as well hear it from the horse's mouth..

What's your view Steve?.

What's your view Steve?.

I don't see how he could have got there unnoticed.

[sherlock]

If Nevill sustained those facial injuries in the bedroom he'd have been incapable of making a phone call.

If the theory is correct then i think Neville must have been unharmed when he made the call ...

It is possible he was marched at gunpoint back upstairs to his bedroom after the call ...

He may have first been shot in the bedroom

He may have escaped down the stairs ...

He may have been trying to get to one of his own guns from downstairs  ...

The shooter may have caught up with him in the kitchen and finished him off ...

Why is this not possible or far fetched ?

Hmm. That's how they concluded Sheila didn't do it.

How could Jeremy then?.
