“Police, what’s the emergency?”
“Someone’s been murdered down the alleyway with a hammer.”
“He died at 8:50 this morning, so we’ve now got a murder investigation.”
“Wow, it’s quite shocking. His last moments were in this room.”
“What was that? Could be the murder weapon.”
“I’ve killed someone. He was just possessed. It was a man on a mission.”
“Oh, there we go.”
“Get on the floor now. Get off there, please. You’re under arrest for murder.”
“Explain to me what’s going on.”
“He said there wasn’t the plan. Where were you heading then?”
“They are two really dangerous people. The streets will be a much safer place without them.”
“This patient was fully slaughtered at procedure. A brutal attack on a man in his own home. There’s a female inside. Turns into a murder investigation. It’s quite like a frenzy attack. He’s clearly doing a kicking motion. There’s no disproving that. It’s evidence.”
“I lost a friend, and now I’m getting accused of being mad. That is disgusting.”
“Patient breathing? He’s breathing, yes, but he’s good. Can you talk to me?”
“He’s not moving.”
“And what are you doing? Is it… I think he’s being knocked out. Is it moving? Is the attacker still nearby?”
“I don’t know. Please, can we just get an ambulance?”
“We are… we are engineing help. Okay, don’t worry.”
“Where is he bleeding seriously from?”
“He’s dead. He’s bleeding all over. What are you worried? Can I give you up? Please, please.”
“Stop on your left. Listen carefully. I need to make sure we do chest compressions so we can help them before the… get there. One, two, three, four.”
“A 49-year-old man has serious head injuries. Victims are truly unconscious, but he’s breathing. There’s blood all over the flat, and there’s a female inside… trying to help you, fell.”
“All right, I just got a… yes, I don’t know what’s happened.”
“Who is it that’s John Hutty?”
“John Hutty.”
“Is anyone else in the address apart from you?”
“No, just me.”
“Olivia?”
“No, no, no, just a friend.”
“Are you aware of what’s happened?”
“No, no, no, not aware at all. You came round because I always come around, just off chance. You just came around?”
“Well, no, I would have been here and then I popped out and come back.”
“But who else has been here?”
“I don’t know, I’m not too sure.”
“Just short.”
“Stop, this patient actively sees him. It looks like he’s probably got an injury to the back of his head. Looks like there’s a bit of blood pouring around the back on the floor, not obvious at the moment that I’ve seen.”
“Just until I get upstairs and find out what’s going on. You want just to stand by? I just don’t want everyone up there contaminating the scene if we need to keep it sterile.”
“What we got now? There’s male and female that are present in… now, female said that she’s been here, while she’s gone home for an hour, she come back and just found him. Doors unlocked and found him unconscious on the floor, looking like he’s been hit on the head.”
“Would you be willing to provide a statement to him?”
“I don’t know. I found him like that. I had seen nothing. I don’t know.”
“Can you give any indication who would have done that?”
“No idea.”
“No mention of anybody else? So that’s true suspect was interesting.”
“Yeah. Is it going to be all right or what?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Yeah, you just keep it for the time being, okay?”
“Why?”
“Just while we sort of establish exactly what’s going on.”
“All right, but I don’t know what’s going on. Can I go again, please?”
“So you were there, yeah?”
“No.”
“Who is she to this person?”
“Just a friend, I think.”
“Let’s… let’s bring her in. We need to find out who she is and anyone… if nothing, we can treat you as a significant witness.”
“Kindly hello.”
“All right. It’s moment in time, you’re under arrest on suspicion of Section 18 assault. You have to say… didn’t I have a defense for you? You’re not mentioning my question something which you later reign in court.”
“Why am I… why am I getting arrested for this? I ain’t done it.”
“The officer just told you you’re at this, but I found him like that, and… and I rang the ambulance straight away. It’s not me.”
“Just say it, why would I do that?”
“We weren’t here.”
“No, I know, but I want to hear the ambulance, you know?”
“I know, but we need to be certain of that, don’t we?”
“Yeah, but because I’ve got… that’s what it is, that’s his, yeah, it is.”
“Okay, we’re going to want that then, aren’t we?”
“Can we speak on this?”
“Absolutely.”
“Officers are now following the mail to the hospital. We’ve got this one female for GBH. Can you make CSI aware? We’ve got the scene secure until they arrive.”
“Morning everyone. Headlining the investigation is Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson.”
“So victim is Jonathan Hutty. Call comes in from our suspect, uh, Lauren Roundhill. She’s reporting that she’s been out, come back to the flat, and found Jonathan face down. It looks like he’s been assaulted. Police turn up, she gives a strange account and is trying to get away, so she’s arrested for assault. At this moment in time, our victim is still alive, and it’s been described as an irreversible brain injury, and it is anticipated that he’s not going to recover. We’re just making a phone call to hospital now, so imminently we’ll get an update on his condition.”
“In the background of the call to the ambulance, someone, a male voice, says he’s been hit with a knuckle duster.”
“The hospital made comment on any other injuries? It’s visible. I’m just thinking about the knuckle duster as a weapon.”
“No, but he’s been photographed and you can see he’s got a cut to his head here.”
“It sounds very much like we’ll have a postmortem come.”
“There’s an update come through. Literally just come through. He died at 8:50 this morning. Family have just arrived. It’s literally just happened.”
“8:50.”
“8:50. Okay, so we’ve now got a murder investigation.”
“We’ve just had the news literally just at the back end of that meeting with the forensic team that our victim’s passed away now.”
“Hi there, it’s Ben Robinson from Homicide Police. I need to speak to a coroner’s office to discuss a Home Office postmortem. The investigation changes now; it was an investigation into assault, it’s now a murder investigation. Cheers, bye.”
“I can’t imagine how it feels. The family are more determined than ever to, um, get the evidence to convict those that have done this.”
“We are going to interview Lauren.”
“A good friend, and she’s traumatized by it. See… see where we go, see if we can get her that support because if she’s having flashbacks, well, we don’t want that to, you know, force her to go back in to try and deal with that.”
“As soon as that comes through, we’ll get that done. All right.”
“We’ve now secured her evidence on a visually recorded interview, so that’s a… a real bonus for the investigation because we managed to secure that prior to any, um, of the suspects getting released from custody with a fear that they might have interfered with him.”
“So in relation to the suspects’ whereabouts, are they at the minute?”
“So Ian Smalley is in prison, yeah. Gavin Leaning is leaving prison soon, and the other suspect is on bail.”
“So against Smalley, we’ve got text messages from his phone. He says, ‘I’ve killed someone.’ We’ve got Lauren Roundhill putting him stood over with a victim on the floor bleeding, and then we’ve corroborated movements off CCTV, in any case. So, really, the forensics is going to be the icing on the cake on that for him… for him.”
“That comes back or not.”
“So the two that… where it becomes more important, the forensics is Leaning and the other suspect. According to, uh, Lauren Roundhill, sat on the sofa when she goes in there, and he then leaves, and Leaning, he ran past her to his flat, saying, ‘I’ve just hit…’”
“Yeah, so there’s just that one admission, uh, from him, that’s sort of implicated him as part of this assault. What we do know is our victim goes in uninjured, he never comes out, and he’s laying on the floor, and then he subsequently dies. And at that point, only these people have gone in and out the flat. Actually, determining who’s done what in that flat is a whole different kettle of fish, isn’t it?”
“That’s the forensics.”
“All right. I’ve had a chat with the boss, was pleased with how it was moving forward. We’re waiting to build the evidence against all the persons that we think are responsible. Part of that is the physical forensic work that’s ongoing. If we go half-cocked with bring them in and we don’t have everything, we run the risk of not getting the charges, then being released, and then the risk to some of the people that have bravely come forward to provide evidence goes up substantially. This is the way we’re doing it. This is the right way to do it.”
“Morning everyone.”
“What’s up?”
“So just a little update, um, Lauren Roundhill is dead. I think she took her own life over the weekend.”
“Yeah, um, and uh, yeah. So there we are. Apparently, it’s connected to what’s happened… um, I think that’s what she said in some of the messages, and she couldn’t cope or something, um, after what had happened with Jonathan and, um, her trying to save him, that she felt, you know, she couldn’t cope with what had happened.”
“It’s incredibly sad because when I spoke to her, when she gave her evidence downstairs, she’d… she was starting to turn her life around. She was 2 weeks off the drugs and was working hard, um, but it’s just really sad. It’s like another victim for the job really.”
“I don’t… I don’t really know what to say this morning. It all just feels a bit…”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“This job is just up and down, up and down. Seems just as we’re winning, this happens. The second life wasted.”
“Next time you’re under arrest for murder, okay?”
“Are you taking a pee?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you wish to account for why John’s not blood is on your trainer?”
