Well that explains why no glass on Jeremy.
So the police found two gun shells next to Sheila's body. Two gun shot wounds. No evidence that she had been in the kitchen shooting her father. And it didn't occur to them that someone else might have done it? ORLY.
Not sure how The Police proved that Jeremy phoned his girlfriend at 3 am when British Telecom couldn't prove it, but that's by the by. No doubt I will discover a few more discrepancies, but nothing concrete so far.
I wish I had known about this Forum sooner. It is always more interesting to be in at the beginning.
Stan Jones, the detective sergeant who met and interviewed Bamber at WHF and later at his cottage on the morning of the murders had his doubts from the beginning, but he was over-ruled by his superior Taff Jones (who had already made his mind up), which is the way it stayed until Robert Boutflour persuaded higher authority in Essex police to review the case, and Julie Mugford spilled the beans on what her boyfriend had told her of his plans.
Although one shot suicides are the norm, pathologist Peter Vanezis noted that there have been several cases of two shot ones in the past, and because the bullets were only low power .22 calibre used for rabbit shooting this was probably accepted initially by the police.
There were three other flatmates woken by Jeremy's 3am. call to her lodgings, who gave written evidence... this is detailed in the 2002 document that linked to.
