So how does this document suggest that the rifle was seized on the morning of 7th August 1985?
I should think it would be obvious, but for the sake of trying to be accurate and specific -
On what date, and where from, did Stan Jones recover his four 'SBJ' exhibits?
Secondly, in the fingerprint report form, it clearly states that:-
Divisional Officer in the Case: D. I.Miller, D.I. Cook
Lucus: white house farm
F. P. Officer in Case: DS Davidson
Date Of Crime: 7th August 1985
Time and Date of Arrival: 9am, 7th August 1985
--------------------------------------------------------------
Senior Officers took control of the various Crime scenes at the farmhouse at around 9.00am...
The silencer, in question, which was certainly attached to Anthony Pargeters Bruno .22 bolt action rifle at that time, was seized by 'Them'' at this time, and later Stan Jones was requested to return to the scene to collect 'it'.
Next, The aforementioned silencer and Brno rifle was just one of a collection of items that were fingerprinted by DS Davidson, under the same receipt and or disposal reference of 5620, which were all items seized on the first day of the police investigation (7th August 1985)...
Lastly, Stan Jones has never explained in a witness statement when he recovered items SBJ/4, SBJ/3, SBJ/2 and SBJ/1...
He attended the scene shortly after 11.30am on the first morning of the police investigation, but miraculously told the COLP investigators that he could not remember why he had returned to the scene at that time, or the reason why he returned on that occasion, or what he did when returning there...
Stan Jones knew why he returned to the scene, he knew what he did, and he knew he seized or took the four exhibits mentioned...
