00:00My journey to Orkney began on the return flight from Bangladesh where the gentleman I was sitting
00:12next to they offered a job with his brother's restaurant I thought why not never been to an
00:18island let's go I was around about 20 21 when my brother asked me to join him in the Orkney Isles
00:27and he was like a experience of a lifetime and then Shamel joined us in the restaurant he was
00:38always smiling he had like a little giggle constantly he was full of life we all called
00:46him handsome because of his dress ends all the customers used to call him handsome as well
00:53and he liked it he was a friendly type of a fella yeah it wasn't dangerous to anybody
01:07what we're seeing here is a live ram being fired at point-blank range which is what happened with
01:14the chum shooting so his perpetrator literally went up as close as he possibly could it was
01:20like a scene out in an American gangster movie doesn't sweat doesn't hesitate calm cool no sweat
01:33which is what you need to be to walk into a restaurant and kill somebody at point-blank range
01:37asking your son if you killed a man
01:43is
01:46horrendous ballistic evidence should have led detectives straight to 15 year old Ross but his father seen
01:54here was a police officer involved in the inquiry and he covered up evidence to protect him
02:00Michael Ross is a racist murderer the punishment 25 years in prison Michael was not just like any other
02:1115 year old he had access to guns how could this have been a 15 year old boy it's not the kind of crime
02:23that is committed by a 15 year old boy in Orkney well I believe this to be the good man and that's not
02:30make a loss
02:35although it seems like odd behavior there is a convincing explanation but then Michael does
02:41something with his balacalava which is harder to explain
02:45somebody came out of the toilet it was a young boy he had a gun in his hand and I knew who he was
02:56I was terrified
02:58this call is from a scottish prison it will be logged and recorded and may be monitored
03:08yeah I can't be any queerer I never murdered Samson if not Michael who did kill shatner
03:20man with a mask on came in I thought he was in to shoot everyone
03:38this is my first time to the Orkney Isles ever since I've been a journalist I've learned about a murder which
04:04happened here and it's always really fascinated me colleagues in the newsroom would talk about it
04:12as one of the strangest cases they'd ever reported on it's a story so wild full of twists and turns
04:20so I've come to Orkney to investigate what happened all these years later why are there still questions
04:31about the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood and the guilt of Michael Ross
04:48The island of Orkney is more isolated than almost anywhere in Britain 45 minutes by ferry from John O'Groats off the northern tip of Scotland
04:56it's not the sort of place you'd expect to see a major crime and when one happened there this summer
05:01it was a crime that would have been extraordinary anywhere
05:15This is where Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood was murdered more than 30 years ago
05:21he was known to everyone as Shamsuddin Mahmood and he was shot while serving diners in the Indian restaurant there when it was called Mimitaz
05:2814 years later a young man called Michael Ross was found guilty of murdering him it means that Michael would have been just 15 when he killed Shamsuddin Mahmood
05:40To this day Michael Ross denies it after all there was no forensic evidence there was no murder weapon found and he had no connection to Shamsuddin Mahmood
05:52many in Orkney believe that this was a major miscarriage of justice others that justice was finally done
05:59I want to really dig into what happened all those years ago but before doing so I want to understand the official version of events
06:29it was a beautiful June day it was sun was out tourists were wandering about not a care in the world
06:42they had cruise ships coming in they had visitors coming in
06:45and then
06:46okay I think I remember who's got what one chicken tikka
06:54that's me
06:55I was showing two customers to the table when the door opened behind me and I turned round to see who it was
07:02a man with a mask on came in then I saw the gun in his hand as he went past me
07:10he went up to the table where Shamel was serving the customers
07:18when the gunmen came in it looked like a fancy dress
07:25when the gun went off and I realised it wasn't
07:31it was a horrible thought to have your children there and not be able to do anything about it
07:38I thought he was in to shoot everyone
07:41and I heard the door open behind me and he came out and went down the other lane
07:47and the last I saw him was going down the Naggar lane at the back of a restaurant
07:53in horrific cases like this it's always important to remember the victim
08:12Shamel was a 26 year old who was the victim of a shocking murder
08:18why would someone do that?
08:27Shamel had arrived from Bangladesh to Britain in May 1991
08:31wanting to work here and send the money back home
08:35he was friendly and he was popular
08:38so it's hard to imagine a reason why anyone would want to kill him
08:42it was an absolutely horrific scene
08:53my name is Angus Alexander Chisholm
08:58I was detective inspector based in Inverness
09:01but with the responsibility for serious crime throughout the whole force area
09:06we could see blood on the floor the deceased had been obviously taken away from the restaurant at that time
09:20we could see that there was a hole in the wall
09:24where apparently a bullet had lodged in the plasterboard in the wall
09:28and lots of blood on the floor of the restaurant
09:31Shamal Mahmood was the victim of the first murder on Orkney in 25 years
09:38why would that happen?
09:41in Orkney of all places
09:46it was like a scene out in an American gangster movie
09:50my name is David Mateer, I'm a retired detective sergeant
09:55and I was based in Kirkwall Orkney from 1992 for six years
10:02there was a strange atmosphere if you want to call it that
10:07the whole location had been taped off
10:11and officers were guarding the location until forensic officers arrived and carried out an examination of the restaurant
10:21I had been involved in several murders before I went to Orkney
10:26it was part of the job, most if not all officers that were based in Orkney at that time had never worked with a murder
10:36he walked into the restaurant and straight up to Shamal and shot him
10:40from point blank range the bullet went into his eye, exited behind his ear and red lodged itself in the wall in the plasterboard behind him
10:48My name's Eddie Ross, or Edmund Ross
10:55I was the team leader for what was called the firearms team in those days up here
11:01I got down on the floor and had a look at the base of the case, took a note of what I could see
11:09and I looked at the case as it was lying there without touching it
11:15I could see just by a glance that it was a 9mm parambellum round
11:20and it belonged to the Kirki Arsenal in India
11:23I was coming into work in the Kirki police station at 8am when Eddie spoke to me and he said
11:39oh by the way, I have a box of Kirki 9mm bullets to which I said, pardon, where did you get them was my next question
11:54Some years before I got in a box of ammunition and realised the same make of the ammunition from the same company
12:07The Kirki Arsenal in India, they'd been there for ages
12:12I forgot that they were in the box
12:14So, one of the local PCs, Eddie Ross, has the same type of 9mm bullets as the one that killed Shamal
12:36You can see why the finger of blame starts to point towards the Ross family
12:42But then in these woods, there are reports of something else which increased these suspicions
12:49Police hear about a sighting of a man in a mask in these woods a fortnight before Shamal was murdered
12:55He was in combat gear and he was acting furtively in the woods
13:10Going back and forwards between trees, hiding between trees
13:14Had their face covered
13:17The balaclava was quite distinctive
13:19It was one that was covered the full face
13:23But it had three holes really tied in with the murder
13:26We eventually homed it down to be Michael
13:28Who was the son of Eddie Ross, Constable Eddie Ross
13:31This was a very important lead
13:34And now we knew that it was Michael
13:37I was feeling very good
13:38You'd think it was a slam dunk case, wouldn't you?
13:53Because you've got possession of rear bullets, check
13:59You've got Michael Ross acting suspiciously in a balaclava, check
14:04You can see why the police thought they had enough evidence to prosecute Michael Ross
14:10But with no forensic link, with no motive, there isn't enough evidence to charge Michael Ross
14:18And the case against him is closed
14:22The police were left with a high profile unsolved murder case
14:27But for Michael Ross, life carried on
14:33This one here is of Michael when he, probably one of his last days in the cadet force
14:40Because he went off to the army after that
14:42It's a good photograph because he looks smart as he should be
14:46This photograph is of Michael when he was in the Black Works Regiment
14:51Probably within the first year
14:53There's no date on that one, but that's what it would have been anyway
14:55This one is his in Iraq
14:57This will be it
14:59That's him lying in a sniper position
15:02And he's holding a L96 7.62 sniper rifle
15:09An Orkney soldier has been recognised for his bravery during his tour of duty in Iraq
15:14Corporal Michael Ross, who served with the Black Watch for nine years
15:17Was singled out for showing bravery
15:19After he held people wounded by an explosion in Basra
15:21Over a decade after the murder, an extraordinary event would throw the Ross family back into the spotlight
15:36Twelve years later, a new eyewitness comes forward
15:41Out of nowhere, a man says that he saw Michael Ross in the toilets which once stood behind me
15:47With a gun and a balaclava
15:49This is just round the corner from where Shamil was shot
15:50I was in the toilet
16:05When I had somebody rust in a bag
16:09In one of the cubitals
16:10In one of the cubitals
16:19Somebody came up with a toilet
16:25It was a young boy
16:28He had a gun in his hand
16:30And I knew who he was
16:31I knew he was Michael's face
16:33I knew he was Michael in the toilet
16:35I knew he was Michael in the toilet
16:37I was also terrified
16:41I was very scared, yeah
16:43I was very scared, yeah
16:44I was very scared, yeah.
16:56Fourteen years after the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood,
16:59William Grant's new testimony was enough to put Michael Ross on trial.
17:09The Arcadian covered every day of the evidence of the trial of Michael Ross.
17:14In 2008, day after day, witness after witness.
17:20Full pages upon full pages of coverage of what was said in the High Court in Glasgow.
17:29My name's Ethan Flett, I've worked at the Arcadian for over three and a half years now,
17:33and in that time became the person that most often covers the Michael Ross case
17:38and the murder of Shamsuddin Mahmood.
17:41For 14 years, Michael Ross pursued a career in the army,
17:44but today he was convicted of one of Scotland's longest-running unsolved murders.
17:49The first in the island community of Orkney for 25 years.
17:53That's what you might call the accepted narrative of events.
18:09It ends with Michael Ross being sent to prison for life, and he's still there 17 years later.
18:15It's a bizarre story with loads of twists and turns, but what I find even more extraordinary is what Michael's guilt would mean.
18:25And that is that a 15-year-old boy, schoolboy, walks into a restaurant and kills a man who doesn't know, shoots him for no apparent reason.
18:39I can't find many other cases where a boy that young would murder somebody with a gun in Britain, let alone on an island with 20-odd thousand people.
18:53It's one reason why many locals still believe that this could be a miscarriage of justice.
19:05I have followed miscarriages of justice my whole life.
19:08There was the Birmingham Six, there was the Guildford Four.
19:11Things like that always really bothered me.
19:13My name's Karen. I've been involved in Michael's campaign for the last 12, 13 years.
19:20I think the police investigation was flawed from the outset.
19:25When the murder was being investigated, I always felt that there was something not right about it.
19:30It was like pieces were being hammered together.
19:33I knew that there were things that just didn't quite fit.
19:37So that, that is what makes me believe it's a miscarriage of justice.
19:43Obviously the case has come up a lot in the press, even all these years later.
19:47And I got quite randomly curious.
19:50It's two months into the investigation when Eddie Ross says that he's found a box of these bullets.
19:56If they're trying to hinder the investigation, why would they volunteer the evidence they're supposed to have been trying to hide?
20:02So that got my curiosity and it made me think, well maybe there is something more to this than meets the eye.
20:12We've been given unique access to over a thousand unreleased documents, reports and witness statements.
20:19We've also spoken to dozens of people involved in the case, many of whom have spoken for the first time.
20:25Given it's such a complex case, perhaps the best place to start is with what the witnesses saw.
20:35Fourteen witnesses gave statements to the police after the murder, who were inside the restaurant.
20:41And I have them.
20:44There are details, a lot of details which are so different, as to what people report that they saw.
21:00Well I was driving along Junction Road, heading towards the pier, and I was about to turn into the Albert Street car park,
21:17when I noticed this chap just outside the door of the toilets on my left.
21:21He was wearing a hooded top, and I noticed he was wearing a balaclava underneath that.
21:25We were driving down Junction Road at about quarter past seven, and as we turned into the car park,
21:32I saw a guy out of the window on my left.
21:35He had on dark clothes, and had mossy brown hair.
21:42Most of the folk inside the restaurant describe the killer as being calm,
21:46and average height, so being between 5'8 and 5'9.
21:53So three people have said that the killer looked hunched.
22:00And then one person has said stooped and hunched.
22:06Some of the witnesses also describe the killer as well-built.
22:10So does any of this bear any resemblance to Michael Ross?
22:14This photo was taken the year after Shamel was killed, not long after Michael Ross turned 16.
22:24He's 5'7", so on the bottom end of the height range that the witnesses described,
22:30he's not stooped or hunched, but he is well-built for a 16-year-old.
22:34So it's conceivable then that he could match some of the witness descriptions.
22:41This article talks about a witness who came forward after the murder,
22:46and they report to have seen a man with rounded or hunched shoulders,
22:56acting suspiciously at the side door of the Mumetaz restaurant,
23:01two hours before Shamel was killed.
23:03Well, I came with a fish shop here, and I was carrying some empty boxes
23:17when I saw this tall shop what I'm doing here.
23:20And he went down the lane in front of me here.
23:31And he went to the door to the restaurant.
23:35And he held onto the handle over and feet up in here, swearing off at me.
23:46And he thought that I was going to make a delivery to the restaurant.
23:51And he was waiting until I get by.
23:53And as soon as I went past him, he went in and slammed the door.
23:57And I knew he wasn't just another pedestrian.
24:00You know, the next day, I got a phone call saying
24:05about the murdering character and this guy came right back.
24:17So the witness goes to the police and says he saw a man
24:21who fits the description of the murderer behaving oddly
24:25at the restaurant two hours before Shamel is killed.
24:31The police then draw up an e-fit of the man in the lane.
24:35This is the e-fit that Robert Smith helped the police draw up.
24:40And this was done a couple of weeks after the murder.
24:44So you think it would be pretty helpful to circulate this
24:49to help catch the killer.
24:51Yet the police do something strange.
24:55The police don't actually release this until three months later.
25:00In my mind, I didn't consider it too important.
25:03With all inquiries like that, you're going to get red herrings,
25:07if you like. I mean, I don't think he was doing anything
25:09particularly troublesome at the side door.
25:12And I'm not even sure why Mr. Smith considered it to be relevant.
25:18We had no idea who it was. I didn't think this was Michael.
25:21I didn't think that was Michael at the side door of the restaurant that day.
25:24Well, I believe this to be the good man.
25:27I'm very pleased with that photograph. That's the guy.
25:33And that's not Michael Ross.
25:36Why did the police ignore Robert Smith?
25:41At first it didn't make sense to me, but now it might.
25:44It seems by the time Robert Smith gave his statement on the 17th of June 1994,
25:51police may have already started focusing on Michael as a suspect.
25:56We had no idea who it was. I didn't think this was Michael.
26:02I didn't think that was Michael at the side door of the restaurant that day.
26:05And why might the police already be so focused on Michael?
26:10The answer is that sighting of him behaving oddly in the woods.
26:13When you hear the words Papdale Woods, you think of, well, a deep dark wood,
26:29but really this is just a smattering of trees.
26:32Now, just to get our bearings, over there is Michael's High School
26:36and less than a mile up the road is the Mumetaz restaurant.
26:39Two weeks before the murder, there are two sightings of a male acting suspiciously right here.
26:51What's key about this is that the person is wearing a three-hole balacalava like this.
26:58I've actually never worn one of these before.
27:04What do you think? It's pretty intimidating, isn't it?
27:09And it was the exact same kind as Shamil's murderer was using.
27:19That person wearing it in the woods turned out to be Michael Ross.
27:24What was he doing? And why?
27:26Michael Ross has never spoken publicly to explain what he was doing in the woods or about anything else concerning his case.
27:37He didn't give evidence in court. He's been in prison ever since.
27:40But I have got hold of recordings of him answering questions about his case, which have never been heard before.
27:48These questions weren't put to him by a journalist and he wasn't challenged on them.
27:53But they do give some explanation about some of his behaviours, like what on earth he was doing running around Papdale Woods with a balacalava on.
28:03I was in Papdale Woods because I was going to confront a boy and fight with him.
28:16He was going out with one of my ex-girlfriends and I was stalking him.
28:20But I found out that he'd been beating her up and I didn't like the best fact that he was beating her up.
28:29So I went to sort him out and give him a scare to try and stop him from hurting her.
28:34Well, I thought good on Michael for trying to protect that girl and, erm, well, I'll say sort this guy out that was abusing her.
28:52I found a balaclava in his school bag.
28:56Didn't I really think too much about it?
28:59You could tell me about it.
29:02I must have.
29:04I was wearing a balaclava, not to hide myself from the police, but more so that people wouldn't tell my dad that it was me in the woods.
29:13And I was more scared of getting a right ball in from my dad.
29:18The infamous balaclava.
29:20The police are fascinated with this balaclava and Michael in a balaclava
29:26because it's the only thing that links Michael with the murderer.
29:33So what have the police actually got then?
29:36Well, Michael Ross's statement at the time is consistent with what he says today.
29:40So then we cut to a statement from that cadet boy and he confirms it.
29:51I would say that about once a fortnight I had an argument with X.
29:56Sometimes these arguments resulted in me hitting her.
30:00Most of the times we had an argument I would hit her.
30:03Which is horrible.
30:07But what I think it does for Michael is that it actually makes what he's saying and the reason that he's given, I think, more credible now.
30:18So, although it seems like odd behaviour, there is an explanation.
30:27But then, Michael does something with his balaclava which is harder to explain.
30:32I'd taken it into school to show a friend and I got a ball looking for dad.
30:41So I thought I'd just get rid of it.
30:44So I thought I'll just take the balaclava, throw a couple of stones in it and throw it into the sea.
30:50I know now, like the police will you think, that's me getting rid of evidence.
30:55So it was me getting rid of something that I'd gotten a ball looking for, from my dad.
31:00It was an unusual item.
31:03So, if it was innocent and didn't have anything to hide, what was the reason for disposing of it?
31:10Being a detective for 19 years, when somebody gets rid of something or try and hide something, it raises a bit of suspicion in me.
31:20End of.
31:24On the 24th of September, 1994, police bring Michael Ross in for questioning.
31:32My dad just said, oh, I need you to come into the police station and some of the murder inquiry teams
31:40would want to speak to you to just see what you're doing and stuff like that.
31:46After the interview, police take photos of Michael Ross, his rucksack and watch.
31:54The reason that Michael is such a strong suspect in this case isn't just because he was wearing a balaclava in Papdale Woods.
32:04There's another reason that the police suspect him.
32:07And to understand this, we need to go back to the biggest plot twist in this entire case.
32:13It's two months into the investigation when Eddie Ross says that he's found a box of these bullets in his collection.
32:30And he volunteers this information to the police. He says, I found this. And he has it arranged that they collect the bullets,
32:39which they check and find out that the box is sealed. All the bullets are in the box still.
32:43I had a big ammunition box upstairs.
32:56A big steel box, quite large double locks, which I kept all the ammunition in.
33:02And realised some years before, I'd gotten a sealed box of the 9mm 2Z of the Kirky Arsenal.
33:11And realised it was the same make of the ammunition from the same company.
33:15I was just thinking that I would be of some help taking this down and showing this is what I've got here.
33:29It does seem extraordinary that Michael's father Eddie has a supply of the same brand and calibre of bullet that killed Shavel.
33:38But how much of a coincidence, or not, was this really?
33:44How possible is it that anyone else, aside from Michael, a killer, could have access to these bullets?
33:53The box was sealed in cellophane. Clearly nothing could have been out of it.
33:58But I did slit open the box and check they were all there and nothing was missing.
34:03So the murder bullet could not have come from that box.
34:07Where did you get them was my next question.
34:10This was the size of the bullet we were dealing with. It's 9mm.
34:16My name's George Thompson. I was a police officer, cop for 14 years.
34:22I did my time as a detective.
34:24Recently retired from a long time in criminal defence work.
34:29A criminal defence investigator is a person who assists a solicitor in the preparation of a defence case.
34:37When we started off our investigation, the idea was to try and trace some more of these.
34:45He's only a little fella, but he's good, and there are thousands like him.
34:52I soon learned that the bullets that had been used in that gun had been produced in India and sold in mass to the British government for the army.
35:04We did learn that the Kirky Armoury had manufactured over 50 million of these.
35:14Some of them had been issued to the British Army.
35:18I 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.
35:28In this he says that there were some Kirky bullets floating around the UK at the time.
35:33He writes that Kirky made 9mm ammunition appears for sale on occasion on the web.
35:38So really, these bullets weren't as rare as you might think.
35:45So it's conceivable then that someone else, aside from Michael Ross, could have got hold of some and used them to kill Shamal.
35:53It begs the question though, how did Eddie get hold of them?
35:58P.C. Ross was asked about bullets given to him by this man, James Spence, a few years before the shooting.
36:10Bullets of the same type as the one used to kill Shamsuddin Mahmood.
36:15James Spence was in the Royal Marines until 1981 when he demobbed, and with him he took some boxes of bullets, stole them.
36:249mm ammunition manufactured at the Kirky Arsenal in India, and then gave these bullets to Eddie Ross.
36:32When questioned by police, Eddie Ross and James Spence disagreed about how many boxes of 9mm Kirky Arsenal bullets had been given.
36:41Eddie claimed it was only one box and that it hadn't been opened.
36:46James Spence claimed there were two, one of which had been opened, so Michael could have had access to that.
36:51In the end, police believed Spence, and Eddie was charged with perversing the course of justice.
36:57His trial would play out over the next three years.
37:00An Orkney policeman is beginning a four-year jail sentence tonight after being found guilty of concealing information in a murder hunt.
37:10Constable 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.
37:20Ross 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,
37:30identical to the one used to kill Kirkwall waiter Shamsun Mahmood in 1994.
37:51And he took four years for perverting the course of justice. Why did he tell me about that bullet?
38:01I suppose, in his situation, if you find out, or if you have an inclination that your 15-year-old son has murdered somebody in your hometown,
38:11are you going to protect your son? I don't know.
38:18Do you ever wish that you'd thrown away the bullets?
38:20I could have tossed them away somewhere.
38:23I kept your mouth shut.
38:27Well, I suppose so.
38:30I thought I was doing the right bloody thing, you know?
38:34What was they wrong?
38:38Big mistake.
38:50We decided that we should bring in Michael in relation to the murder.
38:55Michael was still in school at that point.
38:58I think I was in PE. They explained in front of the master that, right, we're going to stay in here for six hours for further questioning.
39:10Personally, I think it was atrocious to go into school.
39:14And among his school pupils.
39:19We took him into the interview, interviewed him under caution, on tape.
39:24I remember saying to Michael that, if they're going to be entering you, they'll get out of you.
39:29Whatever it is, you know, that they're looking for.
39:33That's when I told him, I said, you just tell the truth.
39:37Tell them what you were doing, or whatever.
39:41Inside, I was just stunned and, I suppose, scared as well, because of the position I was in.
39:48But, I suppose you could kind of relate it to this one, looking calm and peaceful on the top, but the legs are paddling away like mad underneath.
39:57He answered every question, looked me straight in the eye and answered every question without hesitation or nervousness.
40:04If a 15-year-old has committed a murder, you would expect them to be a bit anxious, upset, nervous.
40:14He showed none of these signs at all.
40:16Cool, calm, collected.
40:18Which is what you need to be to walk into a restaurant and kill somebody at point blank range.
40:22The police continually seem to ask questions, thinking I was holding back, and not giving them the full information they were looking for.
40:32I'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 bad calamities.
40:41As Michael Ross is questioned by detectives, police decide to search the family home.
40:46I would have never thought in my lifetime that I would have ever been in a situation like that.
40:55It's usually me that would be on the other side, I think.
40:58I was at work, and you phoned me to say, you need to come home, because the house is being searched.
41:10When I got the child to go into the house, my action was to go and interview Moira Ross.
41:15I felt awkward, almost felt an intruder in the house.
41:18It must have been horrendous for her.
41:20I was nervous as hell.
41:23My leg was going 20 to the dozen.
41:27During the search, above Michael's bed, the officers seized a deactivated Danish Madsen submachine gun,
41:36which I'd bought for him, as a present.
41:41And it was deactivated.
41:44His bedroom wall was covered in pictures of guns and tanks and all army stuff.
41:50Where, of a kid that age, I would have expected nice-looking girls, or football teams, or rugby teams,
41:55whatever the sport they supported, but it was all just military stuff in his bedroom.
42:00I've never seen anything like this.
42:08The search revealed a house that seemed to be obsessed with guns.
42:14I mean, look at all this.
42:16All of these licensed guns were found, which is like an arsenal from a Hollywood film.
42:21During their search, police found five pistols, two revolvers, three rifles, and a shotgun.
42:31I don't know anyone with this sort of thing in their house.
42:36Michael Ross won't be charged for another 12 years.
42:39But what police find raises more questions about his relationship with guns.
42:44I wonder what kind of impact this might have had on a teenage boy.
42:52And, crucially, could it make them more likely to shoot someone dead at point-blank range?
43:05Whoever committed that crime was beyond psychopathic.
43:10I feel that Michael wanted to know what it was like to kill someone.
43:16But many people looked like a professional hit.
43:19Two men arguing with Shamsuddin Mahmood.
43:22Very heated argument.
43:24One of the witnesses claims he had heard,
43:26I'll shoot you.
43:29It's very rare to see somebody just completely out of the blue
43:32do something so brazen and so public.
43:35It is perfect in fact.
43:36As long as he found out,
43:48it's beautiful.
43:55It's beautiful, I think.
43:57Toyota.
43:58You
