now in your statement you reckon Martin drank about one champagne two table ones plus dessert one and two brandies yeah I remember saying that um I wasn't aware he was driving nor I'd have done something about it it but the four other guests we've taken statements from say he wasn't drinking at all wasn't he so he had a glass I don't know what was in it apparently because he had a dental appointment the following morning well I mean looked like Waianae sort of assumed but when you thought we had a brandy that was in a brandy glass I mean you can have a brand in a straight glass of course you can but you wouldn't put a soft drink in a brandy glass um straight yeah you know like um tumblers Linda what do you call those tumblers we go on the Lakes tumblers Cameron tumblers yeah I'll show you [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] I thought the Caterers supplied the glasses well some of them yes they supplied some of the glasses some yes some no this isn't fair I know and there's

didn't and who's we no we've been through the books at work ah your mercy she's left well yeah that's another cork isn't it an accidental death can't see the woman for dust temp it means temporary yeah and busy is short for being places and Linda's not kidding we've got witnesses saying that Marcy was with you when did you meet her when you did for the party I swear on the life of my house and then back for the bag yeah just the two of you there's your bank piss off we shouldn't piss far off though did you so the taxi driver saying he picked her up just down the road let's go Linda's right

how did that come about Martin shepps when I was waitressing at the party he asked me what my day job was I said this I hate it wanted out and he said they might be looking to take on a clerical worker people often say that drunk it doesn't go anywhere but you never know he wasn't drunk he wasn't drinking I know I could tell which is why I followed it up came to see him at work the day after yeah really she was dead by then I know that's the point is he I'm realizing that the guy I've come to see is the guy who's death I'm witnessed for great Brentwood was a remain several times yeah he was a nervous wreck how do I say I saw the body would you have told me you saw his best mate died if they knew that I didn't have a chance to get in the job well keeping it if they found out I'd be like a like a permanent reminder wouldn't I well yeah I haven't eaten meat since I don't anyway according to Linda Brentwood um you cleared out the minute the verdict was announced because her name came up at the inquest so they all know now yeah I didn't know you could do that without my permission thanks for that [Music] I see [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] didn't work you didn't even bring an ambulance he was dead Linda yes it was my fault but it was an accident but you knew that they were having an affair well not from either of you two thank you friends we thought it was over yeah well it wasn't no far from it plus he got me to lie to the police I lied to the police about when Martin left admit that meaning what if it was an accident hey Linda just don't even know why it happened to you that's why you don't talk you can't talk quick ER children every single bloody problem we had was tomorrow I used to think you were getting your thoughts together but where I only knew what you were thinking when you'd been in gone and bloody done it which is why we ended up in this [Music] Rose Hill is it well you know what Marcy he won't be coming out to play for a while neither will you when the police get hold of you because I know you're both lying so how come you're sending her flowers I rang them to see the order hadn't been delivered they said they'd bring me straight back on this number I sent the flowers because she lost a child no he's not dead he's 11 she just luster she deserved flowers and the flowers [Music] get in what you won't tell me the truth will he you can't get in [ __ ] off don't do me anything [Music] move Craig can you tell him I'm not tell him you drive off you're gonna kill me look you don't need to do this just think about it yeah that's all I have done against me acts of bloody lutely nowhere keep him here ready [Music] who burnt the car Craig whose idea mine not burning it maybe put a match to it yeah he pushed it over and it went up what were you doing cleaning your house he goes I didn't mean to do it so you go okay and start rolling your sleeves up he was telling the truth how could you be certain of the Hat you're obviously a long way off stupid bloody knew I was having their fear no he couldn't have found out after Martin's death because I told no one you ever said a word bloody well wish we had no so the police could nail the bastard he didn't know until I told him that's just a bad lie how the hell could you know if Greg didn't you hadn't even met me before then so much in touch your party is this little thing with his hand and when I told her to Gracie that was the first he'd heard oh my God where were you going with Martin I knew nothing about the money you knew about five Grands worth yeah because because I know posits about 300 a fortnight money guide and not stolen I hadn't a clue where the rest of it I do know even in the books and how much I hadn't found out because that's the only thing he's ever done what the hell's wrong with me I'm swapping the basket case but the one with his fingers in the middle straight choice great judgment Linda foreign do you know why Martin did that if you're in no bloody position to go slinging his name around no no I'm saying that I think I do what what he was never going to spend the money had you told him you're going to leave Greg yes what if Martin was trying to force your hand because the worst business got the faster you'd have to put your house in the market it was only the house keeping you and Greg together Martin was just trying to trying to speed things up so you could leave not a penny has been touched from that account see I think that Martin was always going to give it back because exactly what he'd do the call Mr Brentwood yes sergeant now people don't usually like me saying this but um swayed your wife to see a doctor well honestly there's no shame in using sedatives for a week or two they're going to be very helpful in a situation like this yes I'm told yeah thanks for that yeah foreign foreign I've never got this many people and of course I shall Wonder for the bill no I wouldn't hear of IT stand the company insurance more than covers it but that's very good of you right I'm saying Martin you're supposed to shampoo it first hose it later and he goes I never do that he loved that car cleaned it every
