So was there an inquest or a court case?
Well the problem was that it took about a year before they realised that that all the court appearances [pre-hearings] were leading to nothing. He was not a person we could trust. And one minute he was perfectly all right, the next he would be everywhere. So it ended up just being one day in court in the end. After many, many appearances in court where you… they were trying to establish whether he was fit to be in court. So it was just one day in the end. I had my day in court.
So did you go to any of the other hearings?
No. His girlfriend went, Tom’s girlfriend.
And what were they doing at those?
They’re just interviewing him.
Questioning?
And they didn’t get anywhere. The judge gave, gave him so many chances. But after all he’s a sick man [crying].
So nobody ever had to give any, any evidence in the end, did anyone give any?
No. No.
So what happened at the one day in court that you went to?
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He was just reading what someone else gave him. With diminished responsibility.
Oh.
And that was that.
So nobody was called to give evidence or anything?
No. There was the statement from the defence and the statement from the prosecution. And that was that.
