Apparently the worst thing to be shot in the head with is a 22.

It just goes in there & rattles around coz it hasn't got enough oooomph to come back out again.

Dunno if that applies to LR or short.

I'd be interested in a video clip of the testing.

'Right, Johnson, next we're going to try the.22. Brace yourself... And...'

BANG!

'Aaaargh! Bloody hell! That was much worse than the 15mm, and don't even talk to me about the .45!'

Close quarters weapon of choice for your discerning hitman.

Why isn't there an exit wound?

Or he could simply have invented the story when he was shot by his wife who found him in bed with a nubile 18 year old.

Or perhaps it was an old war wound, only discovered on x-ray after the gardener fainted on the lawn. That would explain how the medics didn't discover the hole in his eye socket spouting blood, but not how the bullet got in there minus an entry wound from the ballistics experts perspective. It's a mystery.

I would guess that it was a round that had been dropped or lost on his lawn for soom time. The lawn mower could have then fired it when the blade came into contact with it, môn ami

It would need some force behind it to penetrate his skull and then transit through to the back of his skull - bloody unlucky anyway.

Maybe he voted LibDem?

Probably, doesn't look like the bullet did much damage to a brain...

Btw, I've got an alibi!

A ballistic expert worked out he was shot through the eye? What about the hole in his eye socket spouting blood, wasn't that a clue?

But more importantly - what about the atrocious spelling in the article?

[TimberWolf]

I would suggest to Steve Eckersley, of West Didsbury CID that perhaps, just possibly - Mr Hesford was, well, shot? With a gun?

I would also suggest that the online editor of the Telegraph.co.uk be shot with the same gun.

The article is more of a mystery than the mystery.
