So did you walk down to the beach on your own then?�?BR>Reply "Yes, as far as I remember I think Matt and Russ had gone, gone already, gone down before me.�?BR>1485 "And did you see anybody on your way down?�?BR>Reply "Err…�?BR>1485 "Your group or other?�?BR>Reply "I can’t remember.�?BR>1485 "And when you got down to the beach was the beach busy?�?BR>Reply "Err not, not horrendously, no. I mean there was some other windsurfers there err you know I remember when I was out windsurfing you know seeing other people windsurfing as well.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "But you know, again, it wasn’t particularly busy.�?BR>1485 "How long do you think you stayed out there for?�?BR>Reply "I think I was probably out there the best part of a couple of hours.�?BR>1485 "So we’re saying around about six o�?clock ish, would that be about right?�?BR>Reply "Err well I mean we were probably, as I say, windsurfing I was windsurfing around two to four o�?clock, then we had the girls come down so there was some playing on the beach.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "Then we went for something to eat and then we left the err restaurant and err you know, I hadn’t got a watch on me, I hadn’t you know I hadn’t got a mobile, all we had was the camera which you know as I say the time on that suggests that we left the restaurant err you know after six o�?clock, so you know just working backwards…�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "The time that I thought we’d finished you know…�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>00:27:23 Reply "Water sports would be around four o�?clock, then a bit of time on the beach and then you know your meal, which would take an hour, which seems to fit in with the, you know the timescale of events.�?BR>1485 "So who did you leave on the beach when you, when you walked up?�?BR>Reply "When, when we left we didn’t leave from the beach we left from the err restaurant.�?BR>1485 "The restaurant, but who did you leave at the restaurant?�?BR>Reply "Err the, basically the err the children and the ladies that stayed behind, err just to finish off there and err and then we, you know Fiona said to me we’d better get going if you’re gonna miss all the, you know any activities err so we said right well we’ll go, we’ll get up there and you know play tennis.�?BR>1485 "Yeah, when you say the ladies, that was Fiona and…�?BR>Reply "Yeah, Jane and Rachael, yeah.�?BR>1485 "Right, and the respective children?�?BR>Reply "Yes, yes.�?BR>1485 "Okay, and who did you walk back to the Ocean Club with?�?BR>Reply "Err there was Russell and Matt. As I say I can’t, can’t remember what hap, whether they went, we peeled off and they carried up to the apartment and I said oh I’ll just go down to the tennis, you know, I can’t remember exactly what happened at that stage, but I know I went and spoke to Gerry.�?BR>1485 "So on your way back what route would you take on the way back? There’s a map for this one.�?BR>Reply "Yeah, we…�?BR>00:28:40 1485 "Unfortunately the map doesn’t show the beach, it’ll show the proximity going back to the apartment block. Which way is the beach? If you imagine, or if you look at, that’s, there’s the Tapas.�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "So that would have been Kate and Gerry’s apartment.�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "So you’d walk round there from your Tapas, so which way would the beach be?�?BR>Reply "Okay, so, sorry that’s the, is this the Tapas here?�?BR>1485 "That’s the Tapas yeah.�?BR>Reply "Yeah, so our apartments would be about here so err you know we went, crikey, the Ocean Club is there I presume, does that say Ocean Club? Yeah.�?BR>1485 "The Ocean Club garden.�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "I think that’s the Ocean Club in general.�?BR>Reply "Yeah the main reception part sorry, so we, we would walk past here, this is the Supermarket I presume, here.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "You’d walk past that way. There’s err you know we’d go along past the err Ocean reception down and then there was a road which kind of like quite a steep road which had err there was a small Supermarket there.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "There was err a pub there which I think was quite popular with err you know locals and holiday makers and that, that road led you right down and at the end of the road is the err restaurant. Now, you know, I wouldn’t say every time we walked back that way, there, there was another route that you, we, we cut through as well but I, I’m pretty sure that night we walked up that way and round because I know we walked past the Ocean Club.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>00:30:14 Reply "But err…�?BR>1485 "Okay, but how long would that generally take you?�?BR>Reply "How long? Err I’d say, yeah ten fifteen minutes walk.�?BR>1485 "So when you got back to the apartments or the complex.�?BR>Reply "Yes.�?BR>1485 "There’s the tennis courts there.�?BR>Reply "Yes.�?BR>1485 "So presumably what you’re saying is you walked up with Matt and Russell.�?BR>Reply "Yeah, yes.�?BR>1485 "That way.�?BR>Reply "As far as I can remember…�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "That, you know, I just seemed to have got the images of walking past the reception.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "Well the only way we could have walked past the reception is if we’d have gone that route.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "So that’s what I’m basing my err recollection on.�?BR>1485 "Did you go straight then to the tennis courts?�?BR>Reply "Yes, I think I did, I think I’d gone straight there to chat with Gerry just to check that, you know, what was going on and everything and then went err went back to see Kate after.�?BR>1485 "And what was Gerry doing?�?BR>Reply "Err Gerry had been, you know, playing you know tennis already, he was having a good err game and I think there was you know, and there were a couple of the other tennis players who had specifically gone out there on a Mark Warner holiday to play tennis and you know Gerry was, you know, getting a lot out of the week from the tennis and made friends with those people and he was having a good game with them. Err so you know he would basically be playing tennis.�?BR>1485 "Yeah, and at what point did you have the conversation with him? Did he stop the game or did you speak whilst he was playing?�?BR>00:31:48 Reply "I can’t remember, I can’t remember. I, you know, in my mind, you know, he stopped playing and you know but I can’t remember if I’m perfectly honest.�?BR>1485 "And how long did you stay and watch the game for?�?BR>Reply "Err all I remember is I was having a, you know, a brief conversation with Gerry, err you know and then you know I went back, I didn’t actually stay there for too long because of the time, you know, was ticking by err but again these are, you know…�?BR>1485 "Afterwards.�?BR>Reply "Yeah, recollections rather than you know whether there was anything in between, there could well have been.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "So where were you going then? Presumably you weren’t going to play tennis were you? When you left the beach, what was…�?BR>Reply "Yeah, oh yes that was always the intention and that’s what Fiona was saying, look if you’re actually gonna do anything tonight you’d better get yourselves up there and it’s getting quite late so that was, you know, that’s the reason we’d all gone ahead because we waited till the children had finished eating and err got in the prams and got up there, you know it takes another five ten minutes on top walking back with them, err then you know we’d have lost the opportunity. Err again, presuming that you know the tennis was usually around six thirty, that if you know, if we’re leaving the restaurant you know, quarter past six or whatever, around that time, that you know if we’d leave it much longer with it taking ten minutes or whatever to walk up just to start the tennis at half six, you know we were already cutting it fine and I think as it transpired we were playing tennis till you know even beyond there, it was quarter to seven, or around then and err you know if we’d have left it much later then we just thought well it’s gonna finish, so.�?BR>00:33:29 1485 "Right, were you going for a lesson or were you actually going to play?�?BR>Reply "We were gonna play, there was obviously me, Matt and Russ, and Gerry was making up the four, fourth err person.�?BR>1485 "But he was already playing?�?BR>Reply "Yeah he’d already been playing and that’s partly the reason that he kind of like threw in the towel early and said ah you know I’ve had, enough’s enough, I’ve had a good day and err but then we managed to get Dan, the pro, just to play a bit with us err you know so that made up the four ball err just for a little while.�?BR>1485 "So your four…�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "Was yourself, Matt, Russell and…�?BR>Reply "Well it started off with Gerry and we had a bit with him and then Dan played a bit.�?BR>1485 "And Dan, Dan replaced Gerry then did he?�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "How far through the game was that?�?BR>Reply "I can’t remember.�?BR>1485 "Sets wise?�?BR>Reply "Err you know whether we played one, you know again this is just, yeah usually we’d play a set and then change over so most likely it would be Gerry played a set and then left, that was most likely how it happened.�?BR>1485 "Okay, and it was at what point that Gerry said to you go and, would you mind checking at Kate?�?BR>Reply "Well I mean coming back from the beach I’d got no equipment to play tennis you know, etcetera, so I had to go back to my room to you know change into stuff appropriate for playing tennis in, and err so he knew that I’d walk up that by and past so he said oh why don’t you err, you know can you just pop in on the way, the way up, so it was on the way back from me picking the stuff up.�?BR>1485 "Right, so you’ve walked past, you’ve walked past Gerry’s apartment to get to yours.�?BR>Reply "Mm.�?BR>1485 "Got changed?�?BR>Reply "No, you know it was, again whether it was, in my mind it was on the way up that I’d popped in to Kate but it could have been on the way back, again, I’m sorry.�?BR>1485 "No, it’s okay.�?BR>Reply "For my vagueness.�?BR>00:35:21 1485 "But either way you’d have had to walk past because you go the roadside don’t you?�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "So you’d have had to walk past Gerry’s…�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "Front door twice wouldn’t you?�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "Is that right?�?BR>Reply "So, the reason why I think it was more likely that I did it on the way there was because I’ve called in through the err patio, it kind of made more sense that I’d have walked in through the gate and then up through the you know where the sliding doors are to say I’m here, rather than going up to my apartment, coming back down, coming past the apartment and then coming in the sliding doors.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "Because what I would have done is I’d have got changed and gone downstairs and then knocked on the front door because that, you know that would have made more sense rather than going all the way round and…�?BR>1485 "Yeah, course.�?BR>Reply "So that’s in my mind why it makes more sense that it was, that that was on the way up.�?BR>1485 "Right, so how long did you spend in your apartment before, I know you, I appreciate that you can’t recall whether it’s going or coming.�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "The likelihood is that it’s on the way.�?BR>Reply "Yeah.�?BR>1485 "How long did you spend in your apartment?�?BR>00:36:24 Reply "I mean again, we’ve you know, we’ve chatted about the timings and everything and you know looked at the photographs and you know, you know we were leaving about quarter past six from the err restaurant, we’d gotta walk up there, ten, fifteen minutes, conversation with Gerry, conversation with Kate, you know that’s another five, ten minutes on to your ten, fifteen minutes walk so you’re talking twenty five minutes, so that’s taken you to twenty five to, twenty to seven, well you know we were certainly playing tennis for a, you know the best part of an hour err so you know it couldn’t have been long that I was in the apartment, you know a matter of minutes.�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>Reply "You know just to pick the kit up and, and then go back down really.�?BR>1485 "Did you have your own racquet?�?BR>Reply "I didn’t, no, I was using the, err Mark Warner’s racquets.�?BR>1485 "Mark Warner’s, okay. I just want to revisit the going and seeing Kate before we move on.�?BR>Reply "Mm.�?BR>1485 "Alright, and the reason why I’ve kept it separate is because I want you to just think now.�?BR>Reply "Mm.�?BR>1485 "And imagine, remember what you saw.�?BR>Reply "Mm.�?BR>1485 "Did you open the door, slid door? Or was it already open? Or…�?BR>Reply "Err I think it was already open, I think it was already open. Err you know, as I say, I walked up there, Kate was you know I say looking very relaxed and err I say a comment to her I said well crikey it’s early, early for them to be getting ready you know for bed, as I say she said ah no, I’ve had such a good, you know such a good day and afternoon err so you know, and Gerry’s just obviously finishing off playing tennis and err so you know hopefully try and get them down and as I say we were just, you know I, I know, it does sound bizarre but I just looked at the three of them and I couldn’t, you know they were just so well presented and so clean and immaculate it was, you know I was, and you know they just looked such healthy children, err you know, there’s, there’s you know nothing that normally…�?BR>1485 "Yeah.�?BR>00:38:36 Reply "Triggers in my mind like that but it was just how well that they looked and err…�?BR>1485 "Try to remember where in, where they were in the apartment.�?BR clear=all>
