FunTranscript
00:00My journey to Orkney began on the return flight from Bangladesh where the gentleman I was sitting next to.
00:08He offered a job with his brother's restaurant. I thought, why not? Never been to an island. Let's go.
00:15I was around about 20, 21 when my brother asked me to join him in the Orkney Isles.
00:23And it was like a experience of a lifetime.
00:27And then Shamil joined us in the restaurant.
00:32He was always smiling. He had like a little giggle constantly. He was full of life.
00:40We all called him handsome because of his dress sense.
00:45All the customers used to call him handsome as well. And he liked it.
00:50He was a friendly type of a fella. He wasn't danger to anybody.
00:57What we're seeing here is a live ram being fired at point-blank range, which is what happened with Shamshida.
01:10So his perpetrator literally went up as close as he possibly could.
01:14It was like a scene out in an American gangster movie.
01:22Doesn't sweat. Doesn't hesitate. Calm. Cool. No sweat.
01:29Which is what you need to be to walk into a restaurant and kill somebody at point-blank range.
01:33Asking your son if you killed a man is horrendous.
01:44Ballistic evidence should have led detectives straight to 15-year-old Ross.
01:48But his father, seen here, was a police officer involved in the inquiry.
01:52And he covered up evidence to protect him.
01:59Michael Ross is a racist murderer.
02:01The punishment, 25 years in prison.
02:05Michael was not just like any other 15-year-old.
02:08He had access to guns.
02:10How could this have been a 15-year-old boy?
02:17It is not the kind of crime that is committed by a 15-year-old boy in Orkney.
02:22Well, I believe this to be the good man.
02:25And that's not Michael Ross.
02:30Although it seems like odd behaviour, there is a convincing explanation.
02:34But then, Michael does something with his balacalava, which is harder to explain.
02:44Somebody came out of the toilet.
02:46It was a young boy.
02:48He had a gun in his hand.
02:50And I knew who he was.
02:52I was terrified.
02:58This call is from a Scottish prison.
03:01It will be logged and recorded and may be monitored.
03:03I can't be any queerer.
03:06I never murdered Samson.
03:09If not Michael, who did kill Sean?
03:15A man with a mask on came in and thought he was in to shoot everyone.
03:19A man with a heidelined theρού.
03:24A man with a guy.
03:25A man with a part of the
03:32A man with a tributy happiness.
03:34A man with a baby's block peace.
03:38And that's about it.
03:41A man with an imaginary player.
03:41this is my first time to the Orkney Isles ever since I've been a journalist I've learned about
03:58a murder which happened here and it's always really fascinated me colleagues in the newsroom
04:06would talk about it as one of the strangest cases they'd ever reported on it's a story so wilds full
04:14of twists and turns so I've come to Orkney to investigate what happened all these years later
04:24why are there still questions about the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood and the guilt of Michael Ross
04:32the island of Orkney is more isolated than almost anywhere in Britain 45 minutes by ferry from John
04:50O'Groats off the northern tip of Scotland it's not the sort of place you'd expect to see a major crime
04:54and when one happened there this summer it was a crime that would have been extraordinary anywhere
05:02this is where Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood was murdered more than 30 years ago he was known to
05:18everyone as Shamal and he was shot while serving diners in the Indian restaurant there when it was
05:24called Limitaz 14 years later a young man called Michael Ross was found guilty of murdering him
05:32it means that Michael would have been just 15 when he killed Shamal to this day Michael Ross denies it
05:42after all there was no forensic evidence there was no murder weapon found and he had no connection to
05:47Shamal many in Orkney believe that this was a major miscarriage of justice others that justice was
05:53finally done I want to really dig into what happened all those years ago but before doing so I want to
06:04understand the official version of events
06:06it was a beautiful June day it was sun was out tourists were wandering about
06:33not a care in the world they had cruise ships coming in they had visitors coming in
06:40okay I think I remember who's got what one chicken tikka I was showing two customers to the table when the
06:53gunman came in it looked like a fancy dress when the gun went off and I realized it it wasn't
06:59it was a horrible thought
07:28to have your children there and not be able to do anything about it
07:33I thought he was in to shoot everyone
07:37and he had the door open behind me and he came out and went down the other lane
07:43and the last day I saw him was going down the narrow lane at the back of the restaurant
07:49in horrific cases like this it's always important to remember the victim
08:05Shammal was a 26 year old who was the victim of a shocking murder
08:13why would someone do that
08:18Shammal had arrived from Bangladesh to Britain in May 1991 wanting to work here and send the money back home
08:28he was friendly and he was popular so it's hard to imagine a reason why anyone would want to kill him
08:38it was an absolutely horrific scene
08:47my name is Angus Alexander Chisholm I was detective inspector based in Inverness
08:55we could see blood on the floor the deceased had been obviously taken away from the restaurant at that time
09:15we could see that there was a hole in the wall where apparently a bullet had lodged in the plasterboard in the wall
09:22and lots of blood on the floor of the restaurant
09:26Shammal Mahmood was the victim of the first murder on Orkney in 25 years
09:34why would that happen in Orkney of all places
09:41it was like a scene out in an American gangster movie
09:47my name is David Mateer I'm a retired detective sergeant
09:52and I was based in Kirkwall Orkney from 1992 for six years
09:58there was a strange atmosphere if you want to call it that
10:03the whole location had been taped off
10:06and officers were guarding the location until forensic officers arrived and carried out an examination of the restaurant
10:16I had been involved in several murders before I went to Orkney
10:21it was part of the job most if not all the officers that were based in Orkney that time had never worked with a murder
10:28he walked into the restaurant and straight up to Shammal and shot him
10:35from point blank range the bullet went into his eye
10:38exited behind his ear and red lodged itself in the wall in the plasterboard behind it
10:43my name's Eddie Ross or Edmund Ross
10:50I was the team leader for the what was called the firearms team in the north days up here
10:56I got down on the floor and had a look at the base of the case
11:02took a note of what I could see
11:06and I looked at the case as it was lying there without touching it
11:09I could see just by a glance that it was a 9mm parambellum round
11:14and it belonged to the Kirki Arsenal in India
11:33I was coming into work in the Kirki police station at 8am
11:36when Eddie spoke to me and he said
11:38oh by the way
11:40I have a box of Kirki 9mm bullets
11:44to which I said
11:46pardon?
11:47where did you get them was my next question
11:53some years before
11:55I'd gotten a box of ammunition
11:57and realised the same make of ammunition
12:00from the same company
12:02the Kirki Arsenal in India
12:04they'd been there for ages
12:07I forgot that they were in the box
12:24so one of the local PCs, Eddie Ross
12:26has the same type of 9mm bullets as the one that killed Shamal
12:31you can see why the finger of blame starts to point towards the Ross family
12:37but then in these woods
12:38there are reports of something else which increased these suspicions
12:44police hear about a sighting of a man in a mask in these woods
12:48a fortnight before Shamal was murdered
12:50he was in combat gear and he was acting furtively in the woods
13:05going back and forwards between trees
13:07hiding between trees
13:09had their face covered
13:11the balaclava was quite distinctive
13:14it was one that was covered the full face
13:17but it had three holes really tied in with the murder
13:20we eventually homed it down to be Michael
13:23who was the son of Eddie Ross, Constable Eddie Ross
13:26this was a very important lead
13:28and now we knew that it was Michael
13:31I was feeling very good
13:43you'd think it was a slam dunk case
13:46wouldn't you?
13:47because you've got possession of rear bullets checked
13:49you've got possession of rear bullets checked
13:53you've got Michael Ross acting suspiciously in a balaclava checked
13:58you can see why the police thought they had enough evidence to prosecute Michael Ross
14:05but with no forensic link
14:08with no motive
14:09there isn't enough evidence to charge Michael Ross
14:12and the case against him is closed
14:14the police were left with a high profile unsolved murder case
14:25but for Michael Ross life carried on
14:29this one here is of Michael when he
14:32probably one of his last days in the cadet force
14:34because he went off to the army after that
14:37it's a good photograph because he looks smart as he should be
14:41this photograph is of Michael when he was in the Blackwatch regiment
14:45probably within the first year
14:48there's no date on that one but that's what it would have been anyway
14:50this one is his son in Iraq
14:52this will be it
14:53that's him lying in a sniper position
14:56and he's holding a L96 7.62 sniper rifle
15:04an Orkney soldier has been recognised for his bravery
15:06during his tour of duty in Iraq
15:08Corporal Michael Ross who served with the Blackwatch for nine years
15:11was singled out for shown bravery
15:13after he held people wounded by an explosion in Basra
15:25Over a decade after the murder
15:26an extraordinary event would throw the Ross family back into the spotlight
15:3012 years later
15:33a new eyewitness comes forward
15:35out of nowhere
15:36a man says that he saw Michael Ross
15:39in the toilets which once stood behind me
15:41with a gun and a balaclava
15:43this is just round the corner from where Shamal was shot
15:45I was in the toilet
15:59when I had somebody rust in a bag
16:03in one of the cubiters
16:05somebody came out of the toilet
16:16it was a young boy
16:21he had a gun in his hand
16:24and I knew who he was
16:26I knew it was Michael's face
16:31I knew it was Michael in the toilet
16:33I was also terrified
16:36I was very scared
16:39yeah
16:5114 years after the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood
16:53William Grant's new testimony
16:55was enough to put Michael Ross on trial
16:58The Arcadian covered every day of the evidence of the trial of Michael Ross in 2008
17:09day after day, witness after witness
17:11full pages upon full pages of coverage
17:17of what was said in the High Court in Glasgow
17:19My name's Ethan Flett
17:24I've worked at The Arcadian for over three and a half years now
17:27and in that time became the person that most often covers the Michael Ross case
17:32and the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood
17:34For 14 years Michael Ross pursued a career in the army
17:38but today he was convicted of one of Scotland's longest running unsolved murders
17:43the first in the island community of Orkney for 25 years
17:47That's what you might call the accepted narrative of events
18:03It ends with Michael Ross being sent to prison for life
18:07and he's still there 17 years later
18:10It's a bizarre story with loads of twists and turns
18:14but what I find even more extraordinary
18:16is what Michael's guilt would mean
18:20and that is
18:22that a 15 year old boy
18:25schoolboy
18:26walks into a restaurant
18:28and kills a man
18:30who doesn't know
18:31shoots him
18:32for no apparent reason
18:34I can't find many other cases
18:39where a boy that young
18:41would murder somebody with a gun in Britain
18:44let alone on an island with 20-odd thousand people
18:48It's one reason why many locals still believe
18:51that this could be a miscarriage of justice
19:00I have followed miscarriages of justice my whole life
19:03There was the Birmingham Six, there was the Guildford Four
19:06Things like that always really bothered me
19:08My name's Karen
19:09I've been involved in Michael's campaign for the last 12, 13 years
19:15I think the police investigation was flawed from the outset
19:20When the murder was being investigated
19:22I always felt that there was something not right about it
19:25It was like pieces were being hammered together
19:28I knew that there were things that just didn't quite fit
19:32so
19:33that is what makes me believe it's a miscarriage of justice
19:38Obviously the case has come up a lot in the press
19:40even all these years later
19:42and I got quite randomly curious
19:44It's two months into the investigation
19:46when Eddie Ross says that he's found a box of these bullets
19:50if they're trying to hinder the investigation
19:53why would they volunteer the evidence they're supposed to have been trying to hide
19:57so that got my curiosity and it made me think
20:00well maybe there is something more to this than meets the eye
20:03We've been given unique access to over a thousand unreleased documents, reports and witness statements
20:14We've also spoken to dozens of people involved in the case
20:18many of whom have spoken for the first time
20:21Given it's such a complex case
20:24perhaps the best place to start is with what the witnesses saw
20:3014 witnesses gave statements to the police after the murder
20:34who were inside the restaurant
20:36and I have them
20:39There are details, a lot of details which are so different
20:49as to what people report that they saw
20:55Well I was driving along Junction Road
21:08heading towards the pier
21:10and I was about to turn into the Albert Street car park
21:12when I noticed this chap
21:14just outside the door of the toilets on my left
21:16he was wearing a hooded top
21:18and I noticed he was wearing a balaclava underneath that
21:20We were driving down Junction Road at about quarter past seven
21:25and as we turned into the car park
21:27I saw a guy out of the window on my left
21:31he had on dark clothes
21:33and had mossy brown hair
21:36Most of the folk inside the restaurant describe the killer as being calm
21:41and average height, so being between 5'8 and 5'9
21:48So three people have said that the killer looked hunched
21:53and then one person has said stooped and hunched
21:59Some of the witnesses also describe the killer as well-built
22:04So does any of this bear any resemblance to Michael Ross?
22:13This photo was taken the year after Shamel was killed
22:16not long after Michael Ross turned 16
22:19He's 5'7
22:21So on the bottom end of the height range that the witnesses described
22:25he's not stooped or hunched
22:27but he is well-built for a 16-year-old
22:29So it's conceivable then that he could match some of the witness descriptions
22:33This article talks about a witness who came forward after the murder
22:42and they report to have seen a man with rounded or hunched shoulders
22:50acting suspiciously at the side door of the Mumitaz restaurant
22:55two hours before Shamel was killed
23:03Well, I came out of the fish shop here
23:10and I was carrying some empty boxes
23:12when I saw this tall shot what I'm doing here
23:15and he went down the lane in front of me here
23:26and he went to the door to the restaurant
23:30and as soon as I went past him he went in and slammed the door
23:39and I knew he wasn't just another pedestrian
23:43You know, the next day I got a phone call
23:58saying about the murdering character
24:01and this guy came right back
24:07So the witness goes to the police and says he saw a man
24:16who fits the description of the murderer
24:18behaving oddly at the restaurant two hours before Shamel is killed
24:24The police then draw up an e-fit of the man in the lane
24:29This is the e-fit that Robert Smith helped the police draw up
24:34and this was done a couple of weeks after the murder
24:38So you think it would be pretty helpful to circulate this to help catch the killer
24:45Yet the police do something strange
24:50The police don't actually release this until three months later
24:54In my mind I didn't consider it too important
24:58With all inquiries like that you're going to get red herrings if you like
25:02I mean I don't think he was doing anything particularly troublesome at the side door
25:06and I'm not even sure why Mr Smith considered it to be relevant
25:10We had no idea who it was, I didn't think this was Michael
25:15I didn't think that was Michael at the side door of a restaurant that day
25:19Well I believe this to be the good man
25:25I'm very pleased with that photograph, that's the guy
25:29And that's not Michael Ross
25:32Why did the police ignore Robert Smith?
25:36At first it didn't make sense to me but now it might
25:39It seems by the time Robert Smith gave his statement on the 17th of June 1994
25:46Police may have already started focusing on Michael as a suspect
25:54We had no idea who it was, I didn't think this was Michael
25:56I didn't think that was Michael at the side door of a restaurant that day
26:00And why might the police already be so focused on Michael?
26:04The answer is that sighting of him behaving oddly in the woods
26:09When you hear the words papdale woods you think of, well, a deep dark wood
26:24But really this is just a smattering of trees
26:26Now just to get our bearings
26:28Over there is Michael's high school
26:31And less than a mile up the road is the Mumutaz restaurant
26:34Two weeks before the murder
26:36There are two sightings of a male acting suspiciously right here
26:40What's key about this is that the person is wearing a three-hole balacalava like this
26:52I've actually never worn one of these before
26:55Oh
26:57What do you think?
26:59What do you think?
27:00It's pretty intimidating, isn't it?
27:07And it was the exact same kind as Shamil's murderer was using
27:14That person wearing it in the woods turned out to be Michael Ross
27:18What was he doing?
27:20And why?
27:21Michael Ross has never spoken publicly to explain what he was doing in the woods
27:30Or about anything else concerning his case
27:32He didn't give evidence in court
27:34He's been in prison ever since
27:36But I have got hold of recordings of him answering questions about his case
27:41Which have never been heard before
27:44These questions weren't put to him by a journalist
27:47And he wasn't challenged on them
27:49But they do give some explanation about some of his behaviours
27:53Like what on earth he was doing running around Papdale Woods with a balacalava on
28:04I was in Papdale Woods
28:06Because I was going to confront a boy and fight with him
28:10He was going out with one of my ex-girlfriends
28:14And I was stalking her
28:16But I found out that he'd been beating her up
28:20And I kind of had it
28:21I didn't like the best fact that he was beating her up
28:24So I went to sort him out and give him a scare
28:27To try and stop him from hurting her
28:29Well, I thought good on Michael for trying to protect that girl
28:36And, erm, well, I'll say sort this guy out
28:44That was abusing her
28:46Or found a balaclava in his school bag
28:50Didn't I really think too much about it?
28:56You could tell me about it
28:57I must have
28:59I was wearing a balaclava
29:01Not to hide myself from the police
29:03But more so that people wouldn't tell my dad
29:05That it was me in the woods
29:07And I was more scared of getting a right ball in from my dad
29:12The infamous balaclava
29:15The police are fascinated with this balaclava
29:19And Michael in a balaclava
29:21Because it's the only thing that links Michael with the murderer
29:27So what have the police actually got then?
29:30Well, Michael Ross' statement at the time is consistent with what he says today
29:35So then we cut to a statement from that cadet boy
29:42And he confirms it
29:45I would say that about once a fortnight I had an argument with X
29:50Sometimes these arguments resulted in me hitting her
29:54Most of the times we had an argument I would hit her
29:58Which is horrible
30:01Erm
30:03But what I think it does
30:05For Michael
30:06Is that it actually
30:08Makes what he's saying and the reason that he's given I think more credible now
30:17So
30:18Although it seems like odd behaviour
30:20There is an explanation
30:22But then
30:23Michael does something with his balaclava
30:25Which is harder to explain
30:27I'd taken it into school to show a friend
30:32And you know
30:33I
30:34I
30:35I
30:36I
30:37I
30:38I
30:39I
30:40I
30:41I
30:42I
30:43I
30:44I
30:45I
30:46I
30:47I
30:48I
30:49I
30:50I
30:51I
30:52I
30:53I
30:54I
30:55It's
30:56It was an unusual
30:57Item
30:58So
30:59If it was
31:00Innocent
31:01And didn't have anything to hide
31:02What was the reason for disposing of it
31:04Being a detective for 19 years
31:07When somebody
31:08Gets rid of something or try and hide something
31:11It raises a bit of suspicion in me
31:14End of
31:15End of.
31:19On 24th September 1994, police bring Michael Ross in for questioning.
31:27My dad just said, oh, I need you to come into the police station
31:31and some of the murdering community teams would want to speak to you
31:36to just see what you're doing and stuff like that.
31:39After the interview, police take photos of Michael Ross, his rucksack and watch.
31:49The reason that Michael is such a strong suspect in this case
31:55isn't just because he was wearing a balacalava in Papdale Woods.
31:59There's another reason that the police suspect him.
32:02And to understand this, we need to go back to the biggest plot twist in this entire case.
32:09It's two months into the investigation when Eddie Ross
32:22says that he's found a box of these bullets in his collection
32:25and he volunteers this information to the police.
32:29He says, I found this and he gives, and he has it arranged that they collect the bullets,
32:34which they check and find out that the box is sealed.
32:36All the bullets are in the box still.
32:38I had a big ammunition box upstairs.
32:46A big steel box, quite large, double locks, which I kept all the ammunition in.
32:57And realised some years before, I'd gotten a sealed box of the 9mm 2Z of the Kirky Arsenal
33:06and realised it was the same make of the ammunition from the same company.
33:10It's all just thinking that there would be of some help taking this down and showing this is what I've got here.
33:21It does seem extraordinary that Michael's father, Eddie, has a supply of the same brand and calibre of bullet that killed Shabble.
33:32But how much of a coincidence, or not, was this really?
33:38How possible is it that anyone else, aside from Michael, a killer, could have access to these bullets?
33:44The box was sealed in cellophane.
33:50Clearly nothing could have been out of it.
33:52But I did slit open the box and check they were all there.
33:56Nothing was missing.
33:57So the murder bullet could not have come from that box.
34:02Where did you get them was my next question.
34:03This was the size of the bullet we were dealing with.
34:07It's 9mm.
34:11My name's George Thompson.
34:12I was a police officer, cop, for 14 years.
34:17I did my time as a detective.
34:18I recently retired from a long time in criminal defence work.
34:25A criminal defence investigator is a person who assists a solicitor in the preparation of a defence case.
34:32When we started off our investigation, the idea was to try and trace some more of these.
34:42He's only a little fella, but he's good.
34:45And there are thousands like him.
34:47I soon learned that the bullets that had been used in that gun had been produced in India and sold en masse to the British government for the army.
34:59We did learn that the Kirky armoury had manufactured over 50 million of these.
35:09Some of them had been issued to the British army.
35:13I have here in front of me a report commissioned by Michael Ross's defence team into the bullets by one of the UK's foremost experts in ammunition.
35:24In this he says that there were some Kirky bullets floating around the UK at the time.
35:28He writes that Kirky-made 9mm ammunition appears for sale on occasion on the web.
35:33So really, these bullets weren't as rare as you might think.
35:40So it's conceivable then that someone else aside from Michael Ross could have got hold of some and used them to kill Shamil.
35:47It begs the question, though, how did Eddie get hold of them?
35:57PC Ross was asked about bullets given to him by this man, James Spence, a few years before the shooting.
36:05Bullets of the same type as the one used to kill Shamsuddin Mahmood.
36:09James Spence was in the Royal Marines until 1981 when he demobbed and with him he took some boxes of bullets, stole them.
36:209mm ammunition manufactured at the Kirky Arsenal in India and then gave these bullets to Eddie Ross.
36:27When questioned by police, Eddie Ross and James Spence disagreed about how many boxes of 9mm Kirky Arsenal bullets had been given.
36:35Eddie claimed it was only one box and that it hadn't been opened.
36:41James Spence claimed there were two, one of which had been opened, so Michael could have had access to that.
36:47In the end, police believed Spence and Eddie was charged with perversing the course of justice.
36:52His trial would play out over the next three years.
36:55An Orkney policeman is beginning a four-year jail sentence tonight after being found guilty of concealing information in a murder hunt.
37:19Constable Edmund Ross, whose teenage son became a suspect in the investigation, was told by the judge that his crime struck at the heart of the criminal justice system.
37:31Ross was found guilty of trying to defeat the ends of justice by withholding information from senior officers when he discovered a box of bullets in his own home,
37:40identical to the one used to kill Kirkwall waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood in 1994.
37:45And he does four years for perverting the course of justice.
37:53Why did he tell me about that bullet?
37:56I suppose in his situation, if you find out or have an inclination that your 15-year-old son has murdered somebody in your hometown,
38:07are you going to protect your son? I don't know.
38:09Do you ever wish that you'd thrown away the bullets?
38:15I should have tossed them away somewhere.
38:21I kept your mouth shut.
38:24Well, I suppose so.
38:26I thought I was doing the right bloody thing.
38:29You know?
38:31Obviously wrong.
38:33Big mistake.
38:34We decided that we should bring in Michael in relation to the murder.
38:51Michael was still in school at that point.
38:53I think I was in PE, they've explained it in front of the headmaster that we're going to stay in here for six hours for further questioning.
39:05Personally, I think it's atrocious.
39:07They go in their school.
39:09And among his school pupils.
39:13I took him into the interview, interviewed him under caution, on tape.
39:19I remember saying to Michael that if they're going to be interviewing you, they'll get out of you.
39:25Whatever it is, you know, that they're looking for.
39:28That's when I told him, I says, you just tell the truth.
39:33Tell them what you were doing or whatever.
39:36He answered every question, looked me straight in the eye and answered every question without hesitation or nervousness.
39:59If a 15-year-old has committed a murder, you would expect them to be a bit anxious, upset, nervous.
40:09He showed none of these signs at all.
40:11Cool, calm, collected.
40:14Which is what you need to be to walk into a restaurant and kill somebody at point blank range.
40:18The police continually seem to ask questions, thinking I was holding back.
40:23And not giving them the full information they were looking for.
40:27I've probably incriminated myself several times just by saying that, yes, I've used guns and, yes, I've been shooting and, yes, I own back.
40:36As Michael Ross is questioned by detectives, police decide to search the family home.
40:44I would have never thought in my lifetime that I would have ever been in a situation like that.
40:50It's usually me that'd be on the other side, I think.
40:52I was at work and you phoned me to say, you need to come, you need to come home because the house is being searched.
41:04When I got the child to go into the house, my action was to go and interview Moira Ross.
41:10I felt awkward, almost felt an intruder in the house.
41:13It must have been horrendous for her.
41:15I was nervous as hell.
41:18My leg was going 20 to the dozen.
41:21During the search, above Michael's bed, the officers seized a deactivated Danish Madsen submachine gun, which I'd bought for him as a present.
41:36And it was deactivated.
41:37His bedroom wall was covered in pictures of guns and tanks and all army stuff.
41:45We had, of a kid that age, I would have expected nice-looking girls or football teams or rugby teams, whatever their sport they supported.
41:52But it was all just military stuff in his bedroom.
41:54I've never seen anything like this.
42:04The search revealed a house that seemed to be obsessed with guns.
42:10I mean, look at all this.
42:11All of these licensed guns were found, which is like an arsenal from a Hollywood film.
42:17During their search, police found five pistols, two revolvers, three rifles and a shotgun.
42:24I don't know anyone with this sort of thing in their house.
42:31Michael Ross won't be charged for another 12 years, but what police find raises more questions about his relationship with guns.
42:41I wonder what kind of impact this might have had on a teenage boy.
42:46And crucially, could it make them more likely to shoot someone dead at point-blank range?
42:55Whoever committed that crime was beyond psychopathic.
43:06I feel that Michael wanted to know what it was like to kill someone.
43:11For many people, he looked like a professional hit.
43:14Two men arguing with Shamsuddin Mahmood.
43:17Very heated argument.
43:19One of the witnesses claims he had heard, I'll shoot you.
43:24It's very rare to see somebody just completely out of the blue do something so brazen and so public.
