How do you miss something like that for 6 days?
By the use of painstaking, rigorous and thorough police work, that's how.

Luckily, despite savage budget cuts, the police are still able to call on dedicated ballistics experts who were able to deduce that Palmer had in fact been shot six times in the chest.

Had he been, say, decapitated with a Japanese Samurai sword, the sad fact is that because of the brutal austerity imposed on police resources - and the subsequent closure of specialist police Samurai Weapons advisory units - it may never have come to light that he died of anything other than heart-attack-related natural causes.

Presumably the post mortem was six days later and before that no examinations had been carried out.

Nevertheless, I would have thought that being shot in the heart wouldn't manifest itself visually as only a scar (which would surely only occur if the victim stayed alive long enough for the wound to heal?)

Either way, Goldfinger Palmer is dead. And he died after the robbery.

Exit wounds will often bleed profusely as they are larger but entrance wounds can sometimes look only like small holes - unless the weapon is fired at close proximity to the victim.

Small calibre firearm = no exit wounds. And massive internal bleeding.

You don't miss it for six days. You miss it once. The paramedic, who is responsible for 'certifying' death at the scene of a sudden death, misses it due to open-heart surgery.

It is then picked up in the obviously more detailed PM 6 days later.

Whether or not the miss was reasonable or not is unknown.

I've not been keeping on top of this case, but I wasn't aware any of the people who went to the vault were charged.

I wonder how large the sentences will be, especially the ones who may be found guilty after a trial.

When he didn't disable the alarm he deserved peanuts.

Was there any deliberately tripping of the alarm in the run up to the robbery to normalise it sounding without there appearing an actual reason for it sounding?

That's a plotline from The Sweeney.

Some suggested those fires under the streets in the run up to Easter were connected

The sentencing will be interesting, and some may be spending more time in prison than they do out of it. It must have been a cracking investigation to work on.

Michael Caine has said he'll do the film.

They better get their skates on.

With Basil gone there's an opportunity for a sequel.
