Analysis of Post Mortem Reports
14.63.
Mr. Campbell’s analysis of the post mortem reports appears in his
second witness statement dated 2 February 2016. He has found that 74 persons
died as a result of gunshot injuries. Nineteen persons received one shot. One
person received as many as 12 shots. In total, 236 gunshot injuries were
inflicted on 74 persons. Twenty-five received injuries to the head or neck;
39 received injuries starting in the back and traversing to the front of the body.
Four persons were killed by 9 or more gunshots and 82% of those shot, received
1-4 injuries. In Mr. Campbell’s opinion, if a person was shot within one foot of
the shooter, gunpowder residue could be expected on the body. On the other
hand, if the distance exceeded one foot, residue would not usually be found.
