You must all read Lars’ link to the mass killing (5) in Moscow over a relationship breakup. Now with colonialism something of the past, other markets had to be found for this Soviet/Russian export. As you will all know it was the freedom fighters’ favourite weapon in Africa’s wars of independence in the 1970s/80s. There has been 23 such shootings in Marseilles this year and there will undoubtedly be a few more before December 31. As Peter pointed out the gangland shootings in Marseilles are all carried out with AK47s. The killer could therefore have bought it very cheaply,and he had done so because he did not have the kind of money he would have needed to buy a AK47. This says to me that it was no longer in a good condition and no longer had any kind of value/price on the gun market. What would drive such a person to commit a crime of this nature is difficult to explain, alas. How this idea of an ostensibly law-abiding local using his only unregistered gun fits into the overall picture is a different matter. Hence, I do not see him as a hired gun from far away, but as a local shooting enthusiast with an unblemished police record (the latter is a prerequisite for the former) who was cautious enough to choose this unregistered collectors’ piece rather than one of his registered firearms. The P06 is anything but old stuff going for a couple of Euros – it is a prized and expensive collectors’ item. Unless he has a particular fetish about vintage Swiss Army weapons (an idea that I have also entertained), the Chevaline killer obviously lacks the criminal connections that would enable him to purchase an untraceable ex-Soviet-Bloc or ex-Balkans weapon, for less than half of the sum than the P06 would have cost him. Everybody rooted in the criminal underworld, as any “hired gun” would surely be, could easily get hold of a weapon that may not be state-of-the-art, but still quite modern and fit for purpose: a Makarov, a Tokarev, a CZ, an FN Hi-Power or something like that. Look at what’s going on in Marseille: Those gangsters all use AK47s. I’m sorry, but I beg to differ regarding the gun. They bring their own guns and ammo, and these are not the newest deadly weapon on the market but old stuff going for a couple of euros or dollars in the underworld, but no less deadly.Īnd this is what I think happened in Marilyn Those who wanted to take Saad Al-Hilli out would have hired such men.

What I am getting at by mentioning this is that there are ‘hired guns’ about and, their target hit and dead, they return to where they’d come from. Bamberski said they had contacted him after having read about his daughter’s death and that Germany was refusing to extradite Krombach, and offered to go and get him and bring him to France. The website I reported this crime for is under maintenance so I can’t get to my article, but they were not Russians, from one of the Soviet republics perhaps, but I can’t remember. The three were wrongly said to be Russians.

Kalinka’s father Andre hired three men to kidnap Krombach, to drive him to France and to dump on a street for the French police to find him, arrest him and put him on trial for the rape and murder of the 14-year-old Kalinka. You would without doubt remember the Dieter Krombach/Kalinka Bamberski case. Hired killers are often (even mostly) demobbed soldiers from the former Communist Bloc. I have a thought about the choice of gun.

I am pleased that someone here agrees with me that this was not a nutter killing for kicks.

He is a local, he is a regular shooter in a club, he has multiple firearms registered in his name, and he feared that he would come under suspicion (either because he is known to have held a grudge against SM or because he simply expected that if the murders were committed with, say, a SIG-Sauer P226, all local owners of SIG-Sauer P226s would be routinely checked by the re: Premeditated murder. I think that I have found, if not *the* answer, then at least a pretty good one: That P06 was his one unregistered gun. I have given a lot of thought to the question of why somebody who obviously knew what he was doing would use such an old piece. The only thing about this multiple murder that has an “amateurish” feel to it is the odd choice of gun used, a vintage P06. The fact that he managed to escape from the scene of the crime either makes him an extremely lucky man or somebody who knew the location very well, most likely a local. Everything points to this being a carefully planned, premeditated murder by an experienced shooter: The fact that the killer did not touch his ammunition with his bare hands, the fact that he must have used bleach or a similar substance to rid his gun of all DNA traces, the fact that he wore gloves, the fact that he switched off his mobile phone beforehand, the likelihood that he either wore a motorcycle helmet or earplugs to protect his hearing.
