pin Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7185769.stm Just up the road from me, clay shooting police inspector charged with murder out on £200,000 bail has shot himself at a clay ground. Looks like he's offed the mother-in-law in the morning then turned the gun on himself in the grounds of the shooting club. Story says he'd had his ticket revoked, still going to be some bad press for use - tin hats on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Great, that's all we need! Wonder what went wrong there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 There is more to come out I am sure. The mother in law was going to testify against him so he's offed her, what I don't get is if you were going to kill yourself anyway why off someone? Mind he's clearly guilty or he wouldn't have done the mother in law in, and then he's killed himself so we'll probably never know. I don't understand why he'd go do it at a clay ground either, I mean I can understand if you were going to off someone doing it where there is loads of other gunfire makes some kind of sick sense - but shooting yourself there is odd. Not like it matters if someone hears the shot, you'll be dead anyway.. Like I say more to come out of this one I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myuserid Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Had his ticket revoked after he was accused of murder. Wonder where he got the gun from, if he borrowed the shotgun from the club they must have known his ticket had been revoked and why was he found outside the grounds with the shotgun??? Something not quite right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) I am not entirely sure the system is a joined up as some think, not yet at least. This is an open forum so I am not about to go saying what I really want to as I don't think it's in the public interest. Save to say I don't think having your ticket revoked would stop you from obtaining a gun from somewhere you were well known, especially a policeman. After all the license is revoked, you decide you can't find it, ok you ain't licensed but you still have a ticket...

I'm sure it would have been big news if he had his ticket revoked in the area, maybe a bit of common sense would have prevented this. remember the murder happened over a year ago so everyone would have known especially the ground owner!

Blackbart Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 why was he on bail. For no other reason than he was a plod....thats all i can think of,you just dont get bail when you are charged with murder simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Depends on what you read or who you believe at the moment.. But a couple of local reports I've heard (living no more than 1 mile from the ground) is that he did NOT have a ticket and was NOT a member of the club there... It's early days, but give it time and the real truth will come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 It just said on the news he wasn't a member, didn't mention his ticket. The report went on to say he'd let himself into the club (those that know it, well, it's only a gate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yes I read this morning he was on bail, awaiting trail for murdering his wife, I looked up his details on the CPSA members list and he was not on it,Hmmm, there arent many people allowed out on bail surely for murder??. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had his sgc revoked he would have to do it where there was a section 11:6 in force. I hope he rots the scum bag not just because he is a police officer but because he is a coward and cant face the consequences. Shame about the mum-in-law and his poor wife.

al4x Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 just down the road to me as well, it does only mention a field near broomhills and it is a pretty quiet area if he had gone to think about topping himself. The worst bit about the story is topping the mother in law with a cable tie, that is a pretty nasty way to go and I guess one would do the job very well once tightened you certainly wouldn't get it off.
