Bullets fired and reloading

[Kaldin]

I agree with this, but Jeremy is reported by Julie to have said "Matthew" said Nevill put up a good fight for his age, though others here have said his injuries would have proved life-threatening at that stage. I think it's possible Jeremy shot one bullet each into the twins, maybe to check the weapon was working, then returned after he had finished the main threat off, pumping more bullets into the twins after the fight and shooting June right between the eyes as he vowed never to see her again.

Mr Vanezis took the view that the five shots to Daniel were fired in quick succession. He didn't say that about Nicholas, but I think he would have been able to tell if they were shot once and then shot again some time later.

[lookout]

I think the rifle had been loaded in fits and starts, 2 or 3 at a time.

Or he/she reloaded in the twins bedroom having carried additional ammunition on their person.

Hmmm, that could apply to Jeremy of course, but not to Sheila.

Do you mean that they only put four more bullets in the magazine and then shot Nevill, and then reloaded again, or do you mean they put more than that in the magazine, shot Nevill, and then put another five or six in it?

I think the possibilities are many. The killer could have filled the magazine, shot NB 4 times and then reloaded. With a bullet in the breach, it then could have held 11.

Why not to Sheila?

Do you mean after the four shots in the kitchen? So they would end up with ten or eleven bullets again - enough for the twins and Sheila.

Where would she have put them on her person? She didn't have pockets.

They came in plastic trays. Why couldn't a tray have been carried up the stairs?

There were bullets emptied out in the kitchen onto the surface. Of course, I don't know enough about guns to know how bullets are packed.

If you're right, yes, she could have carried them upstairs with her. What was Nevill doing whilst she was reloading in the twin's bedroom though? Still sleeping? He wasn't asleep when he was shot in the bedroom IMO.

It's possible I suppose, but I doubt we'll ever know.

Didn't Colin say that there was an empty bullet box ( container ) in the bedroom ?

Did he? I haven't heard about that.

I agree, but I'm trying to picture the scenario where the gun was reloaded and when it was reloaded.

Had he been woken, and was out of bed but still in the bedroom maybe?

It's strange that the shell casings are all in that corner of the room.

In his book.
