Murder: Joint Enterprise Page #5

---

She was a virgin and she thought her moment had come,

but he couldn't keep his hands off me.

- MAN:

- Joint enterprise - R v Swindall and Osborne, 1846.

Two cart drivers were racing, pedestrian got killed.

They wouldn't say which hit him.

Since both were "equally encouraging the other in the race"

it was deemed irrelevant which of them had actually struck the man.

Joint enterprise.

Joint enterprise?

Till they get to court, that is. Then it's cut-throat.

What, I encouraged her and she encouraged me

and together we killed her sister?!

F*** me.

He'll have no godfather now.

Stefan Hollick, 25, of Springhill, Doncaster.

All this, it could bring her back.

Coleen Lowell, 23,

Flat 4/5, Caxton House, Vernon Road, Basford, Nottingham.

So this is the story of what's just happened.

I said, "When the Detective Inspector asked you

"if you'd hit your sister at the flat,

"why did you make no clear reply?"

I said, "Stefan Hollick is a man of violence."

I showed her the documents. She could be in no doubt.

I said, "It was you that said not to accept the drinks from him.

"It was you that wanted to leave the pub and go and get the tattoo.

"It was you that said to ignore him.

"On all counts your instincts were proved right

"and tragedy followed because your instincts were overruled.

"It's an absurdity that they've got you here.

"Why did you make no clear reply to DI Sheehy's question?"

She said, "Because I hit her." I said "Yes, you did..."

I said, "We've all seen that.

"We've all seen that on the video footage from the pub,

"on Deena Pritchard's camera phone.

"It forms part of the evidence against you.

"She said, "No," but I said, "Yes, I'm afraid so.

"It's there for all to see on the camera phone.

"There's no getting away from it."

Oh.

I said, "The boyfriend, H...

"..another man of violence -

"are you protecting him?"

She looked at me then.

I said, "The bite mark, the bite mark on your sister's arm...

"..not a playful bite. A deep bite.

"A bloody bite...

"Two men of violence...

"Two men who like to hurt women."

I said, "Should I get that bite mark forensically examined?"

She had a tear in the corner of each eye,

she didn't trust herself to speak, but she nodded.

I said, "In that case, I will."

I never bit no-one.

There's no way they can make me take that test.

Tooth's broke anyhow.

The bite mark is hers.

HE WHISPERS:

"I have a confession to make...

"I have a confession to make... I have a confession to make, my Lord.

"I have a confession to make, my Lord.

"I bit my wife...

"I have a confession to make, my Lord.

"I bit my wife last night...

"I have a confession to make, my Lord. I bit my wife last night...
