The medical evidence shows the track of both of these
bullets through the body to be close to horizontal.
In my
opinion therefore, the body was bent forward at the time the bullet
left the body at E1 whilst the deceased had his back to the wall on
which the switch was situated.
The bullet which caused the damage to the drawer was
travelling nearly horizontally and at a shallow angle to the front
of the unit. In order to produce the damage, the entry wound E5,
exit wound E3 and the damage to the drawer unit must have been at
approximately the same height i.e. 16" above the ground
the deceased had his back to the window.
-
whilst
The deceased therefore, had his back to two different walls
when the bullets E1 and E3 left the body.
From my various examinations, I am satisfied that the
damage to the clothing and wounds to the deceased were produced by
self-inflicted gun shot wounds caused by five discharges from the
revolver RHKP 4894.
