Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080
'The following programme
contains strong language.'
2
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,040
'Just remember.'
3
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,120
One step at a time
4
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,440
like we said.
5
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,200
They arrest us,
they read us our rights.
6
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,800
We know what we're gonna say.
7
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,440
We've gone through it
a thousand times, and we're ready.
8
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,080
Just don't say a word
without a solicitor. Right?
9
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
And remember... you're in charge.
10
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720
'Then come the police interviews.'
11
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600
'They'll try to confuse you,
but don't let them.'
12
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,320
'Just tell our story
simply and calmly.
13
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920
No need to make anything up.
14
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,400
Just tell them the truth.'
15
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,920
'Ah, hello there, Mrs Edwards.'
16
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,320
'Oh, hello. It's Susan Edwards.
You're being offered as my, um...?'
17
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,320
'Yes. My name is Douglas Hylton.
I'm coming in to help you tonight.'
18
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,200
'Oh, good, because you've heard,
I think, that my husband and I
19
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,800
got ourselves into
a bit of a pickle.
20
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,600
I know it sounds all rather morbid.'
'Susan. Susan, sorry, can I'
21
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,240
'So, for his sake, everyone should
know the truth from the outset.'
22
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760
'Susan, this isn't a private call.
I'm not your representative yet.
23
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,440
That's what I'm coming to do now,
24
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,560
to take your instruction,
and then I can...
25
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Does that make sense?'
'I see. Yes, sorry, silly old me.'
26
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,320
Just tell our story simply...
and calmly.
27
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,560
No need to make anything up.
28
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,120
Just tell them the truth.
29
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Oh.
30
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Thank you.
31
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Morning, Susan.
Oh, you came back, then.
32
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,680
How was your night?
Oh, you know.
33
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Yeah. First night's the worst.
Ah... the waiting.
34
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,080
Yeah. And also
just not being with Chris.
35
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,600
Even though he's just down
the corridor. Very peculiar.
36
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,080
Yeah.
Still, not for long, though.
37
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Huh? Sorry.
38
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,400
Ah! Thank you.
39
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,960
Erm, Douglas, I was wondering...
40
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,120
You know your advice
41
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,760
about not telling
the police anything.
42
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,800
Is that because you
don't believe us?
43
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:35,000
Um, no. It's just to keep it simple,
so that we don't get tripped up.
44
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,040
To be honest, it's not my job
to have an opinion, really.
45
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,560
My job is to help you.
46
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,600
So, when the police start asking
questions, I just ignore them?
47
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,400
You simply let them know
you prefer not to answer.
48
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Most people like to go with,
"No comment."
49
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,760
"No comment" to everything.
At least until we know... more.
50
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,360
You've gotta remember,
they've only got until tonight
51
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000
to convince the CPS
that they have enough evidence
52
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,920
to win a trial or get an extension.
53
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,920
If you and Chris don't give them
anything, you might go free.
54
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,480
I can't promise, but it does happen.
55
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,040
OK. So, "No comment."
56
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,760
And how do we let Chris know that
that's the new plan?
57
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
I... Erm, we... we don't.
58
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,640
The police aren't mega-keen
on suspects sharing tactics.
59
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,920
It's just Chris never said anything
about "no comment".
60
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200
We agreed that we would
just tell our story.
61
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,200
We would never have handed ourselves
in if we thought we had something to hide.
62
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,280
OK, erm...
63
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,040
Tell you what...
64
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,360
How about we
65
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
write a brief statement.
66
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,160
Just the basics.
67
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Your story in your words,
very short, which I'll read out.
68
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,560
And after that - "No comment."
69
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Ah, got it. Erm... OK.
70
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,440
So, go for it, as simply as you can.
71
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,760
OK, erm...
72
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,720
The day before my parents' deaths,
73
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,640
I took a National Express coach
74
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,000
from Victoria Coach Station
to Mansfield.
75
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,080
It was route number four-five-O -
it was then
76
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,160
Er, Susan, sorry.
Could you slow down a bit?
77
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,320
Oh, sorry, sorry.
We don't need the routes and so on.
78
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Just the important stuff.
Oh, OK.
79
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,640
'Ey up. How you feeling?
Fucking wired, mate.
80
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,400
Yeah? Nervous?
81
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Nah, I'm not nervous. I'm wired.
There's a difference.
82
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,760
It's like there's a little bit of shit in
my pants, but I'm also really excited.
83
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,680
Ah, all power to you, mate.
84
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000
It's just 15 years, long time
to get their story straight.
85
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,440
'Just tell our story...
simply and calmly.
86
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,840
No need to make anything up.
87
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,280
Just tell them the truth.'
88
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,880
'"On the weekend of
my parents' deaths, in May 1998,
89
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,560
while my husband Christopher
was at our home in London,
90
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680
I took the National Express coach
number 450
91
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,960
from London to Mansfield
and visited my parents -"'
92
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,520
That was the route number then. It might
be different now, the way these things go.
93
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Erm, "I... I took the National
Express coach number 450"
94
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,160
from London to Mansfield and visited
my parents at their home.
95
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,240
All I'm prepared to say
is that, firstly,
96
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,720
I am not responsible for the death
of my father William Wycherley.
97
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,840
I believe my mother
Patricia Wycherley shot him.
98
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,120
I will say that I did, in fact,
shoot and fatally injure my mother,
99
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,360
but only after severe provocation.
100
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,920
I was in a very fragile
state of mind at the time.
101
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,440
I would like to make it
absolutely clear that my husband
102
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,480
Christopher Edwards had nothing
to do with the deaths of my parents.
103
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,080
He was only made aware
of their deaths by me
104
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,320
"one week after the incident."
105
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Signed and dated.
106
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,160
As I've said, it's my handwriting
but it's my client's words.
107
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,920
Thank you, Mr Hylton.
Susan, ARE these your words?
108
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,320
Does that reading accurately reflect
the content of your statement?
109
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,200
No comment.
110
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,800
OK, Susan.
If I go to the end of the statement.
111
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,840
This your signature? No comment.
112
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800
It's OK, Susan, you can answer.
Oh, sorry. Yes, that's my signature.
113
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,440
That's all right, Susan.
Your statement's very helpful.
114
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,880
So, tell me, when you say
you went to visit your parents,
115
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,440
what was their address in Mansfield?
5 Braxton Close.
116
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,000
And at that time,
you were 39, just about to turn 40?
117
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,800
Yes. "No comment."
118
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920
Erm, again I must stress to you,
that although it's completely
119
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,880
your decision, my advice remains
120
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,000
that you answer all questions,
"No comment."
121
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,280
No comment.
I can see you're confused, Susan.
122
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,160
Your solicitor and I
are coming from different angles.
123
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,960
But I'm just trying to establish
some extremely basic facts.
124
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,280
So, if you want to, you can answer.
125
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Right?
126
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,600
You say Christopher Edwards
is your husband. When did you marry?
127
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,840
No comment.
128
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Can I ask why you're smiling?
129
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Well... no comment.
130
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,840
Whoa.
131
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,560
We've uncovered some slightly dodgy
financial activity,
132
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,360
which Sandra's looking into,
133
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,040
and apparently they were friends
with Gerard Depardieu
134
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,800
whatever the fuck
that has to do with anything.
135
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,240
Oh, hello again. You done?
136
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,040
Yes. Thank you. I-I'm sorry.
Breakfast isn't really my thing.
137
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,320
But my... my compliments
to the chef, though,
138
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
or whoever it is that prepares
the microwave packages.
139
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,960
Cos scrambled eggs, they're not
easy to do in bulk, are they?
140
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,120
They often go hard, don't they?
You still going with that?
141
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,680
Oh! Er, no, all done. Thank you.
142
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,520
It was great.
It wasn't what I expected.
143
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,160
Oh, really? No.
144
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,160
Apres vous. Merci.
145
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Me, too!
146
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,320
How is it so late?
I've missed the last train!
147
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,016
Well, get a bus. Or I'll help you
with a taxi - It's already so late!
148
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,896
What's the panic?
It's not the end of the world.
149
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,920
I know it's silly!
But we have... we have this routine.
150
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,320
We usually have a cup of hot chocolate
together at bedtime and talk about the day.
151
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,360
We've done it since I was little.
It's story time.
152
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,680
Only, I didn't tell him or Mum
that I was gonna be late.
153
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000
So they'll be waiting up,
wanting to go to bed.
154
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Just phone them. If they're sleeping,
I'll wake them up.
155
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,040
OK. How about this?
If you want...
156
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
If it's easier for your parents,
I mean,
157
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,680
you can stay at mine tonight.
I mean, I'm not...
158
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,240
No, er... no funny business.
159
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,360
But... I've got me mum staying.
She's on the sofa.
160
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,440
A bit of a long story but er...
161
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,080
But, anyway, I'll sleep
on the floor. You can have my room.
162
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,520
Oh, I couldn't make you do that.
No, honestly. I'd be happy to.
163
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,280
And in the morning,
I can help you get home.
164
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,240
Oh, Chris.
165
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,760
'Just to confirm one more time,
166
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,120
Chris, you are content for this
interview to continue without a solicitor?'
167
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,160
'I am content.'
168
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,040
I don't need someone
who knows nothing about me
169
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,280
telling me when, and when not,
to speak.
170
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,280
Right, you understand you can change
your mind on that at any time?
171
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,440
So, I've been told.
172
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,280
In fact,
people won't stop telling me.
173
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,480
Right. Thank you.
174
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280
I can't say I didn't know.
175
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Right, Mr Edwards.
176
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Before we begin
with specific questions,
177
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,760
is there anything you would
like to tell us from the outset,
178
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,000
anything about
why you think you're here?
179
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,360
Yes, I would. Thank you. Ah...
180
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,920
The following is an account
of the events as I recall them.
181
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
On a bank holiday weekend
in May, 1998,
182
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,040
my wife Susan Edwards took a coach
from London to visit her parents,
183
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,520
William and Patricia Wycherley,
in Mansfield.
184
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,320
I myself remained at home in London.
185
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Now, I went with my wife
to Mansfield
186
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,120
the following weekend
187
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560
and only then
learned of the tragic events
188
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,560
that had transpired
the previous weekend,
189
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,320
ie, the death of her parents.
190
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,200
I wanted to ring the police,
of course,
191
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
but my wife can be very fragile
192
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,000
and she convinced me
that nobody would understand
193
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,960
the complexity of what had happened
194
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
and why she was not at fault.
195
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,480
That's when we er
196
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,080
when we did what families
traditionally used to do
197
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,720
still do in many parts of the world,
in fact - which is to inter them,
198
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,400
uh, respectfully,
in their own home dwelling.
199
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,120
Or domicile, if you will.
200
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,360
'I mean the thing that's really
tortured me all these years
201
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600
is had I been with her
on that previous, fateful weekend,
202
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,400
none of this would have happened,
you can be sure of that,
203
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,440
and we wouldn't be sitting here
right now, you gentlemen and I, no.'
204
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,560
'Right, one last question.
205
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Do you happen to recall
the coach company
206
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,680
you and Susan took up to Mansfield?'
207
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,400
'National Express.
208
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,720
Route four-five-O, as it was then.
209
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,480
It might have changed now,
the way these things go.'
210
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,160
'All right, well, I think
we've covered the crux of it,
211
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,560
so erm... we'll take a break there
and pick things up later,
212
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520
if you don't mind, Mr Edwards.'
'Happy to oblige.'
213
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,880
"Happy to oblige" with the same
bollocks wifey's peddling!
214
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,000
Only difference is
she's got a solicitor.
215
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,320
Yeah, but they've given us
a confession, haven't they?
216
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Of sorts.
Er, "Dear Christophaire",
217
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,200
it was a big mistake to tell your
stepmuzzaire about ze-" Shut it, Gerard!
218
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,520
What do you reckon they'd get
if we take it, sir?
219
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,640
Not enough. Financial stuff aside,
whatever fraud they've committed
220
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,800
Oh, yeah, worth doing again,
221
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600
it went so well
the first fucking time.
222
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,840
That's Susan up on loss of control
manslaughter for shooting her mum.
223
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,000
Assuming that "severe provocation"
business holds up.
224
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,040
So, what - five years?
225
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,040
Eight at most. And Chris is only
gettin' a year or two if that.
226
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,600
For what? Interfering with the duties
of a coroner or some vanilla crap.
227
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Which is not bad if they've
actually committed double murder.
228
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,400
Maybe not such idiots after all.
229
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920
That story won't hold up in court,
though, will it?
230
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,440
Bullet wounds like that.
231
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,600
It's one shooter,
just a question of who.
232
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,360
I reckon we press him on that -
Sir?
233
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,800
I wonder if we could try something?
234
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,400
Mess with their heads a bit.
Go on.
235
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,240
Could I handle both interviews, sir?
236
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,880
You've got big bollocks today,
don't you, Lancing?
237
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,560
This is your statement, Susan,
now labelled as item EL-06.
238
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,560
We're glad to have it,
but it doesn't begin to explain
239
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,600
how your parents wound up dead
and buried in the garden, does it?
240
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,560
Do you have a question
for my client?
241
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,400
Dozens. How did you first learn
your mother shot your father, Susan?
242
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,400
Where were you? No comment.
243
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,640
Was it daytime or night-time?
No comment.
244
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,240
What about the gun? Whose was it?
245
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,840
Had you seen it before?
No comment.
246
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,840
What did you do with it afterwards?
No comment.
247
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,760
What did you do with the bodies?
No comment.
248
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600
Did you wrap them in duvets,
put them under the bed?
249
00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:06,520
No comment.
250
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,960
Did you make a phone call
around 2:00am?
251
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,240
Perhaps to your husband,
Christopher?
252
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,920
Is... Is Chris talking?
What about his solicitor?
253
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,040
No, "No comment."
You said he wouldn't talk!
254
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,400
Your husband's opted not to take
legal advice, Mrs Edwards.
255
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,480
Have you told him it's free?
He knows it's free.
256
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,600
It's just he's chosen
to be cooperative.
257
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,760
He's told my colleagues
everything he can, Susan.
258
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Which makes me look a bit silly,
to be honest.
259
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,320
I'm meant to be the smart one, but
it's Bill and Ben in the other room
260
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,440
getting all the juicy stuff
from your very charming husband.
261
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,120
Only, he wasn't there,
was he, Susan, that night?
262
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,240
So, we're inclined to think
he might be making it all up.
263
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
You do want us to know the truth,
don't you?
264
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,480
My advice remains -
You said he wouldn't talk!
265
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,680
Now he's doing one thing, I'm doing
another, and we're not together.
266
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,280
I'm sorry.
It's actually... it... it's quite
267
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,480
erm, strange.
Does Chris know anything
268
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,120
Chris is very clever man.
Don't worry.
269
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,000
Perhaps you'd like to take a -
No, I would not!
270
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,920
'OK, Susan, can we go back to
the beginning?' 'Yes, of course.'
271
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,400
'Thank you. Let's break it down
one step at a time.'
272
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,160
Big balls.
273
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,880
Er, do you want me
to leave you alone for a bit?
274
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Or I can show you
where to get some fresh air
275
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,440
Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
276
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,720
OK.
277
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,520
You're doing really well.
278
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,800
Am I?
279
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,920
Yeah. Er, definitely.
Just... stay strong.
280
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,400
Try not to take the bait.
281
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,080
OK.
282
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,560
It's October 31st, 2013.
The time is 13:31.
283
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,120
Interview with Christopher Edwards.
284
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,240
Hello, Mr Edwards.
How are you today?
285
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Never better. May I ask what
happened to the other two officers?
286
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,880
Something more important than this,
apparently.
287
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,640
Very rude, if you ask me.
But, anyway...
288
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,840
And thank you for providing
such a thorough account
289
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,880
of the awful events of May 1998.
290
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,440
It's a very sad story, Mr Edwards.
291
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800
It is. Yes I'm... very happy to help.
292
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Would you mind if we just review a few
things? Not at all, Detective Constable.
293
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Susan was up with her parents
in Mansfield.
294
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,320
You're at home in London,
in Dagenham.
295
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,400
She rings you up
in the middle of the night.
296
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,120
You answer. What does she say?
297
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,920
Nothing, really. She couldn't
tell me anything. She was too upset.
298
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,280
'Upset about what?'
299
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,640
I need you, Chris.
It's all wrong without you.
300
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,520
'Well, she'd had a terrible night.
301
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,880
Her mother was drunk,
her father abusive.
302
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,360
The usual story, I'm sad to say.'
303
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,400
I can't wait to get back...
to London.
304
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,560
'And the next time you see her,
you say, is the following Tuesday?
305
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,400
After the bank holiday Monday.'
'Indeed.'
306
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,880
'At Victoria Coach Station.'
'That's right.'
307
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,600
'You say she'd not told you anything
about what had happened,
308
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,520
but was there anything that struck
you as unusual about her? Her mood?'
309
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040
'Yes, she was odd... quiet.
310
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,680
She said er...
311
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,520
What was it? Something like...'
312
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,000
It was the most awful weekend,
Chris. Really dreadful.
313
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,840
I need a drink.
314
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,080
'Which was very unusual.
315
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
She almost never drinks.
316
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,600
I remember she asked
for a port and brandy.'
317
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,640
Port and brandy?
318
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,440
Er, yes. Port and brandy.
For the nerves.
319
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Shot of brandy,
shot and a half of port.
320
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Right.
321
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,080
OK. Port and brandy.
And what did you have to drink?
322
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,920
Erm... well, I didn't want a drink.
323
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,600
I had a cup of tea. Earl Grey.
324
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,960
So, you go up to the house
the next weekend
325
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,160
week after Susan first went up,
326
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,400
she having said nothing
that whole week,
327
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,760
about having killed her parents.
About her mother killing her father.
328
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,880
About her killing her mother, then.
She was provoked.
329
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,000
Provoked. So you say.
So, SHE says.
330
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,040
So you both say. Very neat.
331
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Look...
332
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,800
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend
333
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,280
I don't know it's a defense...
provocation.
334
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,200
"Loss of control" you call it now,
I believe.
335
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Reducing murder to manslaughter.
336
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720
You've done your homework!
It's good I have.
337
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,640
You've just arrested my wife
for murder,
338
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,320
whereas in truth
all she's ever done is suffer.
339
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,760
And I don't think anyone should
go to prison for that, do you?
340
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,040
And as for that night - no, no,
she couldn't have shot them both,
341
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,280
because she couldn't have done
anything to hurt her father.
342
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,360
I know her.
I know her better than you.
343
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,560
He had too much power over her.
344
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,480
Trouble is, it looks to us
like your in-laws
345
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,200
were both shot from a similar angle,
perhaps by the same person.
346
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,880
Well, I don't know anything about
that, but Susan didn't lie to me.
347
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,600
OK. Let's get back to you, then,
Mr Edwards.
348
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,440
That following Friday, you both
take the coach up to Mansfield.
349
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,240
That is correct. The Friday,
right after I finished work.
350
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,920
And she still hasn't told you?
I'm getting to that.
351
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,880
It wasn't until we arrived
at the house.
352
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,000
First, we picked up fish and chips.
353
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520
We always have fish and chips
on Fridays.
354
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,880
It's just when I'm tucking in that
Susan starts to act a bit different
355
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,840
and suddenly she says
something like
356
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,480
I can't stand it any more. They
haven't gone away. They're upstairs.
357
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,600
And I'm,
"What are they doing upstairs?
358
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,720
Why don't they come down
and say hello?"
359
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,240
Something like that.
360
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,080
And then I don't remember
the exact words
361
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,600
but then she says something like...
Because they're dead.
362
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,640
And I'm, you know...
363
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,160
"What do you mean?"
364
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,160
It's a surreal... disbelief thing.
365
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,400
I lose all interest
in my haddock and chips.
366
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,760
And I love haddock and chips.
It's my favourite.
367
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,200
A big deal, then?
368
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,720
Well, I've not had a single bite
of haddock since that day.
369
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,040
Strictly cod.
Isn't there a smell?
370
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,360
What? Ah, you mean a fish smell?
371
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,880
It was warm that week. We checked.
372
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,240
Yeah, but it was night
when we ate our fish and chips.
373
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,120
The point is that the bodies
would've been lying there for days.
374
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,240
Forgive the unpleasant image -
they're your in-laws after all,
375
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,480
but there would've been
quite a stench.
376
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,000
Ah. I er... Yes, well, I know.
377
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,680
That's one of the er...
But, no, I didn't smell it.
378
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,960
But Susan... Susan said...
379
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,160
Or, well, later I think she said
380
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,120
that there had been an awful smell.
381
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:23,160
But, no, I didn't...
notice it at the time... myself.
382
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,400
Hard to explain, really.
383
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,080
Except, of course,
that the house always smelt
384
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:33,240
overwhelmingly of cigarettes
because of her parents.
385
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,400
Sandra!
386
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,880
Sandra!
387
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280
There you are.
You're looking for me?
388
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,160
Oh. Yes, sir. Sorry. Why you apologising?
I hear you've found something good.
389
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Just make it quick.
We're in the middle of interviews.
390
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,720
I spent the morning
at the branch in town.
391
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,640
In the archive room.
Oh, bank archives.
392
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,360
The glamour never stops, does it?
Yeah! It won't stop. Um...
393
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,920
But, yeah - Excuse me.
394
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,600
Er, this is a bank statement
for a joint account.
395
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,480
Susan Edwards
and Patricia Wycherley.
396
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Right. And if you look over here
397
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,400
that's the date
the account was opened.
398
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,280
This is good, Sandra.
This is very good. Come with me.
399
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,920
Come here! Fuck's sake!
I'm not gonna eat ya'!
400
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,800
'First of all, Susan, I'd like to
introduce you to Officer Sandra Winters.'
401
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,920
Hello.
402
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,280
Officer Winters is a member of
our Forensic Financial Department.
403
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,840
Oh, my husband's an accountant!
404
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,440
Can you look at this bank document,
please? Police Item CKA-04, Sandra.
405
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Do you recognise that?
406
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:53,440
That's a bank account statement showing the joint
account you opened in your name and your mum's.
407
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Can you read the date there, please?
Left-hand side.
408
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,560
5th of May. 5th of May, 1998.
409
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,040
So, talk me through it.
410
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760
You kill your mother.
Your father's dead as well.
411
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,320
You dispose of the gun and then
first thing Tuesday morning,
412
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:10,280
after the bank holiday -
9:17am to be specific
413
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,440
you transfer a bank account
into you and your mother's names
414
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,080
and withdraw almost half the funds.
415
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:16,720
In cash. In cash.
416
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,680
Yes, I... I... can't remember.
417
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,960
You don't need to remember.
It's all there in the document.
418
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:30,840
Well, yes, as I say,
she's been er...
419
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,440
Sometimes she's simply
economical with the truth.
420
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,080
We all are sometimes.
421
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,480
But this... This is difficult.
422
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,440
It's straight after the killings.
It's obscene. It's mercenary.
423
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,160
And, to be honest with you,
it's a little bit daft.
424
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Well, I think she was obviously
very - It's not confusion, Chris, is it?
425
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,960
Bang, bang, open a bank account.
426
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,840
Well, yes, I...
427
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,840
You said the word, I suppose.
428
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,120
Mercenary. But...
429
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,080
Is there something
you're not telling us, Chris?
430
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,640
Something that could help Susan?
431
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,720
Because at the moment, this doesn't
paint a very pretty picture, does it?
432
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,640
It's...
433
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,120
It's a very personal matter.
434
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,080
Personal?
435
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,920
I'll tell you what's personal.
436
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Being shot in your own house,
kept under the bed for a week
437
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,360
and buried in your own backyard
for 15 years.
438
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,200
I'd like it on record
that I don't think it's very fair
439
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,000
what I've just said about Susan -
or rather what you said.
440
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,520
It does her a grave disservice
to call her "mercenary".
441
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,200
Why?
442
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Because Susan has always had
443
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,600
much bigger things to worry about
than money.
444
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,920
Right. Clean sheets on yesterday,
in case you're wondering.
445
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,200
Here's a towel. Toothbrush.
446
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,640
Thank you.
Are you sure this is all right?
447
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Yeah, of course, yeah.
Yeah, it's my pleasure.
448
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,440
Is your mum OK?
449
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,640
Yeah, she's fine.
450
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,960
She's er...
451
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,320
She's not very well at the moment.
452
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Well, I had a very good time
with you tonight, Susan.
453
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Me, too.
454
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Have a good sleep
and I'll see you in the morning.
455
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Good night. Good night, Chris.
456
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,040
You OK for coffee?
457
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,880
Everything's good, Mum. Thanks.
It's very nice.
458
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Eggs aren't her strong suit.
459
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,080
It was so nice of her
to cook for us.
460
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,800
Oh...
461
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,840
I'm sorry. I really should go.
462
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,440
All right.
463
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,120
Thank you. All right, then?
464
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,000
Both done?
465
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Oop! Oh, silly me.
466
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,200
You going already, Susan?
467
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,880
I'm sorry. I've had a lovely time.
Thank you for your hospitality.
468
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,160
And you're walking her back.
469
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,600
Lovely. Chivalry lives!
470
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Separate rooms and everything.
471
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,640
Christopher, I know I embarrass you.
472
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,360
But I was right about
the dating agency, wasn't I, hmm?
473
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,040
It was my idea.
Might even give it a go myself.
474
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,480
It was very nice to meet you.
475
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,240
You too, Susan.
476
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,000
And hopefully,
we'll be seeing each other again.
477
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,720
OK.
478
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Look, maybe we should
just say goodbye here.
479
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,920
Oh.
480
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,160
All right, then. Goodbye.
481
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,280
Bye. Bye.
482
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,600
You've met MY mother!
483
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,720
You're embarrassed of me!
They're just old-fashioned!
484
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,680
Maybe next time!
485
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,760
Can you let me in?
486
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,000
Mum?
487
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Dad, please, can you let me in?
I can explain.
488
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Sorry to keep you waiting, Susan.
I know it's been a long day already.
489
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:57,480
What we need now are your words
on exactly what happened that night.
490
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,800
Chris can't really tell us,
because er
491
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,880
according to you both,
he wasn't there.
492
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,320
Only you were there.
493
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,920
Now, you say that your mother
shot your father.
494
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,040
That's not something
that happens every day, is it?
495
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,560
So the obvious question... is why?
496
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,560
No comment. Oh.
497
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,000
I thought you were feeling a bit
more comfortable talking to us.
498
00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:22,200
What happened, Susan?
499
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:25,080
Was there an argument or
disagreement between them? No comment.
500
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,640
What did you feel when you saw your
father there, dead on the floor?
501
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,600
Your mother having shot him.
502
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480
I felt terrible. Terrible.
503
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,240
That's a normal reaction, Susan.
504
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,440
- But what do you do.
- with that emotion? - No comment.
505
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,480
Do you confront your mother?
No comment.
506
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,240
What's she say to you?
These questions have to be answered.
507
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,400
They DON'T have to be answered.
That's not true.
508
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,080
But this is a horrible event,
isn't it?
509
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,480
Two people shot dead. Your own
parents. This is what I mean by bait.
510
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,720
But it's not a full explanation
to say you're simply "provoked".
511
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,200
People are gonna provide
their own answers if you don't.
512
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:57,640
You don't have to say anything.
No comment.
513
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,200
The bank account you opened
the day after the killings, Susan.
514
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:04,720
The pensions you collected,
the sale of the house,
515
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,400
all those debts you had to cover.
516
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,120
That feels like a slightly better
explanation, doesn't it
517
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,880
to someone who wasn't there -
that this really was about money?
518
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,240
After all, you'd not
seen your parents for over a year,
519
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,280
you say, and then suddenly
you pay them a visit.
520
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,120
And then they die.
But it wasn't, as I said
521
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,720
We've just been with your husband.
522
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,400
Do you know what word he used
to describe your behaviour
523
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,000
with that bank account?
524
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,680
Mercenary.
525
00:36:26,720 --> 00:36:29,440
And, I'm sorry, but I'm inclined
to think a jury would agree.
526
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,400
He wouldn't say that.
527
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,360
It might be useful for my client -
It's on tape, Susan.
528
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,720
Chris told us
something else as well, Susan,
529
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,840
that I'd like to ask you about
if you're comfortable with it.
530
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,040
He said that your mother
told you something that night
531
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,400
that you didn't know.
532
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,000
What did your mother
tell you that night?
533
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,720
She said um...
534
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,840
She said um...
535
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,040
Sorry.
536
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,520
Must have been very hard
for him to tell you that.
537
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,320
Can I just... I'm sorry -
It's OK, sir, I'll explain.
538
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,120
I know how hard it is.
539
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,080
But it'll be better for -
I just said, I'll explain it.
540
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,320
Even while I was sleeping,
I was aware of shouting,
541
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,120
some sort of row.
542
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,000
But that was nothing unusual
in that household, not at all.
543
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,520
And as I told you,
I had been drinking a little
544
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,600
a little more than normal.
I... I don't normally drink.
545
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,080
'I don't know what time it is.
Maybe 2:00am.
546
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,840
And I've been woken by these bangs.'
547
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,160
'How many bangs?'
'Er... I dunno. I was asleep.
548
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,400
Two, maybe? Or just one.
Definitely not three.'
549
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400
'One or two?' 'Yes.'
550
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,040
And I know immediately
that my father's dead.
551
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,760
I don't know how I know,
I just know.
552
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,480
And my mum is standing there
with a gun.
553
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,080
There are brass casings
on the floor.
554
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,960
Brass casings?
Yeah, erm, spent bullets, I suppose.
555
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,760
And I can tell she's even more drunk
556
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,280
than she was when I went to bed.
557
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,960
Then I say something like, "What
have you done? You've killed him!"
558
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Something like that.
It was a long time ago.
559
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,736
And she says -
I can't give you the exact words,
560
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,240
but she says something like...
I had to.
561
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,160
I can't take it any more, Susan!
I couldn't look at him.
562
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,720
Something along those lines.
And then she turns on me
563
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,000
and she's actually waving the gun
at me at this point
564
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,320
God knows why you care, after
everything you've been through,
565
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,320
grubby little man.
566
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,360
Horrible, horrible man.
567
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,640
What a disgusting
piece of work he was.
568
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,040
And then she throws the gun on the
bed somewhere about here, so I pick it up.
569
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,640
He treated me
as though he was disgusted with me.
570
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Er, sorry, Susan. Yes?
571
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Why'd you pick up the gun?
572
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,720
Er, it's just, well,
she'd been waving it at me
573
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,120
and she was drunk
and I suppose I was afraid
574
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,040
that she was gonna
pick it up again.
575
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,400
Erm, so anyway, and then she starts
saying that thing.
576
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,840
I hated him.
577
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,440
For years, I hated him.
578
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,440
And I hate you too.
579
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,480
Cos when I look at you,
I know I failed.
580
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,680
I failed you, Susan,
and I know that.
581
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,680
I know what he did to you.
582
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,960
I knew it and I just let it happen.
583
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,440
How do you think I feel about that?
584
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,440
You knew, Mum? You knew?
Look, of course, I fucking knew.
585
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,280
I'm your mother, aren't I?!
586
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,680
He didn't even want me after that!
He couldn't do it.
587
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,320
He couldn't even get it up!
588
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,480
I've spent 15 years
trying to forget what she said
589
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:49,960
so I can't tell you exactly,
but it was something like that.
590
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,640
Oh, I'm sorry.
591
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,560
I am so sorry, Susan.
592
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,360
I'm not a monster.
593
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,520
I did my best.
594
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,160
We had some good times together,
didn't we?
595
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,120
Even though
you were a difficult child.
596
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,360
All I could think of was,
"I want to call my husband."
597
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,320
I even said, "We should call
Christopher. He'd know what to do."
598
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,400
Give up, Susan.
599
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,320
You think he's different
but he's not.
600
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,880
He's not gonna help you.
601
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,960
He's the same as all the others.
He's just using you for the sex.
602
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,040
No, Mum! And then I keep crying
and she keeps saying these things.
603
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,880
He doesn't love you!
Just accept it before you get hurt.
604
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,080
Nobody loves you!
Stop! Please stop!
605
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,760
God knows I tried
but it's impossible.
606
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,320
You're impossible to love!
Stop it, Mum! Stop it!
607
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,800
With your miserable little life, it would be
better for all of us if you'd never been born!
608
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,840
I just want to confirm the
implications of what you're saying.
609
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,560
Are you telling us that your father
abused you as a child?
610
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Yes. Sexually?
611
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,360
Yes.
612
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,440
And that night you discovered that
your mother had known all along?
613
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,400
Yes. And you'd never told her?
614
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,160
I was always too afraid
of what my father might do.
615
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,040
I spent my whole life
just trying to wish it away.
616
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Thinking of all those years after
school when she was at work and he...
617
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,760
And Chris, your husband.
618
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,400
Are you sure
he wasn't involved in the killings?
619
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:19,840
I only ask because the bullet holes
on your parents' chests
620
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,360
were strikingly similar.
621
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,480
And that bank account,
that looks like a plan.
622
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:29,360
With all this new information today,
some of which is quite important,
623
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,200
as my colleague is pointing out,
624
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:35,080
we will be applying for extra
custody time so we can continue.
625
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,040
So, we're just trying to get everything
as clear as possible before we progress.
626
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,440
Er, I think she's been
pretty clear already, don't you?
627
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,680
Are you sure Chris wasn't involved?
628
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,400
He helped you, didn't he?
629
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,880
He decided to protect you.
630
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,880
Susan?
631
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,400
Course, he did.
He always protects me.
632
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,720
Did he bury the bodies for you?
633
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,520
Yes, he buried the bodies.
634
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,200
He's very practical like that.
635
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:28,760
He has to be, cos I'm not, you see.
So, he has to be.
636
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,520
Ah, Susan, if you wanted a break -
We couldn't tell the police.
637
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,360
He understood that
so he took control.
638
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,200
And so... this was his idea, then
639
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:40,240
to bury the bodies?
640
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,160
Yes, it was his idea.
641
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,680
He did that for me.
642
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,600
He's the only person in the world
that's ever made me feel safe.
643
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,440
We'll get it sorted.
644
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,240
He's not allowed to keep you
out of your own house.
645
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,200
Has he always been like that?
646
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,680
It's OK. You don't have to tell me.
647
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:38,160
No, I...
648
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,240
I do want to tell you.
649
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,880
What is it?
650
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:49,480
It's just I've...
651
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,760
I've never told anyone else.
652
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,680
Well, whatever it is
653
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,760
it'll be between us.
654
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,680
Just you... and me.
655
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,320
'Susan Edwards had been
at her parents' house
656
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,400
when she was woken by a loud bang.'
657
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:44,760
'She'd gone into
her parents' bedroom.'
658
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,280
'Her mother had shot her father.'
659
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,200
'Susan Edwards claimed
an argument then took place,
660
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:54,920
during which her mother told her she
knew her father had abused her as a child.'
661
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,160
'Susan Edwards admits manslaughter.'
'Manslaughter."Manslaughter.'
662
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,640
'She says, killing her mother...'
'..she was provoked.."Provoked.'
663
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,840
'Provoked.'
'..into shooting her.'
664
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,320
'The Edwards claim they returned
to the house a week later
665
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,480
and had sat down
to eat fish and chips
666
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,240
and watch the Eurovision
Song Contest on television
667
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,240
when Susan Edwards suddenly
blurted out, "They're upstairs."
668
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,240
Christopher Edwards said
he went upstairs
669
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,400
to find the Wycherleys dead,
underneath the bed.
670
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,120
'..Before then dragging
the two dead bodies down the stairs
671
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,000
and burying them here
in the garden.'
672
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,480
'But prosecutors say
it was all a lie.
673
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:35,440
They claim the Edwards jointly
planned to kill the Wycherleys.'
674
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:39,400
'Over the years, the Edwards emptied
the elderly couple's bank accounts.'
675
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,400
'Both she and Christopher Edwards
admit burying the bodies and theft.
676
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,840
But both of them deny murder.'
677
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,880
