Once more from the top ... Lamumba ...
Knoxy gave a statement which made no mention of Lamumba.
The Police had some sort of thing against Lamumba, and wanted him arrested (a common theme with this Prosecutor).
The Police asked Knoxy to explain how it coulod have happened, if she had not done it. This is not her job, by the way !!!
So it went something like this ...
P. So if it wasn't you, who was it?
AK. I don't know.
P. Do you know Mr Lamumba?
AK. Yes.
P. Where was he on the night of the murder?
AK. I've got no idea.
P. So he could have been at Meredith's flat?
AK. I suppose so.
P. He wasn't anywhere else, as far as you know.
AK. Well, I don't know.
P. So you see now, that he could have been at Meredith's flat.
AK. Well, I suppose so.
P. And he had a thing for Meredith, didn't he?
AK. Well, he may have done.
P. So you are saying that Mr Lamumba was the murderer!
AK. Well, it wasn't me!
P. So it was Mr Lamumba.
AK. Can I have a lawyer?
P. No.
AK. I'm confused. Can I have a rest?
P. Not until we have have typed up your statement, in which you are now saying that Mr Lamumba had a fixation with Meredith, and that you believe he went to Meredith's falt on the night of the murder.
AK. But ...
P. We have no more questions.
