Disturbing Evidence, which confirms that cops handed back silencer to the family

[Kaldin]

Then there's this issue of all those relatives being at the farm a few days later. Why oh why would Jeremy allow that if he had something to hide?

David Boutflour.

OK, so he knew the silencer wasn't on the gun. Would anyone really say - hey, let's get the silencer and put some blood in it to make the police think it was on the gun, and then hide it in the cupboard?

Because he had inherited enough already by the act of committing five murders and had to make a fresh start. http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4908.0.html

He simply had to get away..http://jeremybamberforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,3958.0.html

This was in one of their statements.

"We discussed the implication of how this silencer could be in the gun cupboard with blood and paint on it. Obviously if it was being alleged that somebody had had a brainstorm and shot dead four people they would surely not have stopped to remove the silencer, put it back in the gun cupboard, go back upstairs and shoot herself dead. Contact was made with the police about the discovery of the blood and paint stained silencer."

Hmm, that's just speculation. I do think it's possible that Sheila could have taken the silencer off and put it away. She didn't necessarily have to be upstairs when she decided to shoot herself.

He was in a rush to get back to Bourtree Cottage and retrieve the tape from his answerphone, to prove that a call had been made from White House Farm. He was the instigator of the call, not Nevill.

She would never have lain beside June. But the easiest option for Jeremy was to lead her into the master bedroom.

Nobody put it away. The cupboard where it was found is where it was usually kept.

I mean a few days later, not that same night. He had ample time to worry about the silencer, and yet he let all his relatives go to the farm and poke around?

By that stage he was firmly ensconced in the Maida Vale flat, putting Daniel and Nicholas's toys in a bin liner and ripping up Sheila's modelling portfolio apart from the photograph of her with the gun.

Yes, I know. So Sheila would have had to go the cupboard, get the silencer out, put it on the gun, shoot everyone, and then put it back in the cupboard before she shot herself. That is generally considered a highly unlikely scenario, partly because people think she wouldn't try to shoot herself upstairs, realise that she couldn't reach with the silencer on, go downstairs to put it away, and then go back upstairs to shoot herself.

However, it's possible that she was not upstairs when she decided to shoot herself.

Even so, letting the relatives have access to the farmhouse was very stupid if he's guilty.

I think David is insinuating that the silencer did not form part of the crime.
