To determine the trajectory of any shots one has to know the relative position of the participants. In a fast moving situation with the victim ducking and diving it is an impossible scenario. Trajectory analysis is only effective in situations like the Reeva Steenkamp case where the bullets went through a solid object. The height and position of the shooter was in that case determined. No such solid evidence is available in the Bamber case.
What is almost certain is that June was shot in bed before she got up and Nevill was shot several times as he approached the shooter. The inability of .22 rounds to kill meant the shooter used many more bullets than he had intended leaving him with no option but retreat downstairs to get more ammo. Neville followed him down the stairs and into the kitchen where they fought over the rifle before he succumbed to his wounds and was fatally injured as he slumped into a chair.
It is very possible the shooter poked Neville in the back using the rifle in order to check if he was alive or dead. This would have caused him to fall forward ending up with his head in the coal scuttle.
I posted commentary above from a pathologist involved in the Bain case @ 8 mins in:
"Allows you to reconstruct the direction that the barrel was pointing in. Because that is one of the things you can do in the reconstruction of gunshot wounds unless there's some intervening target. You line up the track of the bullet with the barrel of the gun."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5Gt4QmUG5kDr Vanezis made available the info re the track of the bullet to NB's facial gsw's and there was no intervening target:
"The approximate angle from the horizontal of these two tracks was slightly downwards, not more than about 20 degrees".http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=205.0;attach=724Dot to dot springs to mind. One simply lines up the track of the bullet upon penetration with the barrel of the firearm. In the WHF case the barrel of the rifle was clearly pointing 20 degrees below the horizontal. This is significant given NB was taller than JB and SC.
Pathologists generally don't pad out reports with unneccesary waffle. The angle stated above means something. The fact JB's lawyers haven't picked up on it can only mean one thing and that is they should be struck off for incompetence/negligence. Sadly most are either deceased or retired. If legally possible I hope those still alive will face criminal charges along the lines of Ipswich optometrist Honey Rose.
"Ducking and diving" doesn't come into it. The muzzle velocity of the Eley subsonic hollow points bullets is 1040ft/s. Yep that means the bullets used in the tragedy at WHF exited the barrel (or silencer) at 1040 feet per second. Malcolm Fletcher estimated the distance of shots to NB's facial wounds as follows:
64. In respect of the eight shots into Nevill Bamber's body, the six to his head and face were fired when the rifle was within a few inches of the skin.To keep the maths simple lets assume the distance was 12"/1'. We are talking less than a 1000th of a second for the bullet to exit the barrel/silencer and strike NB's lip/jaw.
http://www.eley.co.uk/eley-subsonic-hollowYou say NB was shot several times as he approached the shooter:
"and Nevill was shot several times as he approached the shooter".How do you account for the fact that NB sustained 2 gsw's to his rear: shoulder and elbow/chest?
