Murder: Joint Enterprise Page #4

---

Like we were just going to go and move there.

- I said, "No way am

- I

- moving."

She said, "Why?", I said, "You know why...Mum."

She said, "Mum'll find us if she comes," but I just said, "No way...

"No. No way, no way, no way."

Yeah, she was a rubbish mum but I loved her.

She couldn't handle us.

She'd put me in the bathroom and tie the door shut till I calmed down.

And one day she just left.

Erin would never go without me.

And I said to them...

"If you look at that,

"it looks as though you're pulling her towards the flat

"against her will.

"Like you're doing what he's telling you."

She didn't answer that.

I said, "So, you have arguments, and we know you hit her in the pub.

"What about later on? What about at the flat?

"Did you hit her there...

"with the Amaretto bottle? Did you both hit her?"

No reply.

I said, "Just say no if you didn't.

"Otherwise I'll infer that you did."

No reply.

I said, "So, I'll infer that you did."

No reply. I repeated,

"I'm entitled to infer that you did if you won't say you didn't."

Silence.

Long silence.

I can handle silence...

she can't outdo me on silence.

You're looking at the bloke who sits by a river with a rod in his hand

saying nothing to no-one for days on end.

Then she just says...

"I did."

Two things she could've meant by that...

first, "I did say that I didn't."

Second, "I did hit my sister with the bottle later in the flat."

"Which of those two do you mean?" I said.

'We're sisters. We argue...'

'He killed her.'

Closed up. Moment was gone.

WOMAN:
The pool-ball injury wasn't fatal

but we found traces of Coleen Lowell's skin

under Erin's fingernails...

and traces of Erin's under Coleen's.

No scratching on the footage taken by the barmaid

and no scratches visible on either of them here. So...?

I was arrested at 11 at night...

I was drunk, I was speeding.

If I hadn't been doing those things

then maybe I'd still be a free man now

cos she never knew my second name or where I was from.

But the clincher, right? You'll like this - look.

You spin a bottle, you hold it like this.

We had both the suspects' prints

on the Amaretto bottle in this sort of area -

and the deceased's.

But if you want to kill someone with it, this is how you hold it.

Big heavy thing, that Amaretto bottle.

Whose fingerprints you think we found round this section?

Both of them.

Oh, yeah, we upset her, me and Coleen.

We had sex and she didn't like it.

She hit the f***ing roof - thought me and her should be doing it.

Well, that was the way they'd f***ing worked it anyway.

So, she lost the plot completely -

started screaming, shouting, scratching out

but we never f***ing killed her!
