They would have marvelled at the idea of shooting 5 bullets at June before essaying Nevill's execution. But the happy citizenry go to implausible blockbuster movies too. It's a miracle anything works in England.
To make matters worse it is not even known for sure whether June sustained 5 gsw's to her body or 6.
8 casings June side's of the bed (floor and bed). 2 around the entrance (DRH/3 and 4). 1 on the transition strip (DRH/13). 1 on the landing (DRH/14). Total 12.
At trial, through a process of elimination, MF agreed with Ed Lawson for the defence that June sustained a 6th gsw to her body which caused a bruise only around her chest. Spent bullet DRH/5 may account for this.
Others argue DRH/5 pertains to a graze only wound NB sustained to his elbow/chest. If this is the case then there's one too many casings and this is where the theories about a stovepipe jam and an officer carrying on the sole of his shoe from the kitchen come from.
The whole thing is madness. Every detail counts. And yet here we are almost 32 years on not knowing!
