DS G
and changed, and you put on a red T-shirt, blue jeans and red trainers. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
The red trainers you wore that day, are they the pair of red trainers I showed you which you identified as yours in the charge room this morning?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Do you own a pair of red trainers?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Then you talked about changing into a, as I say, a red T-shirt, blue jeans and red trainers and Michelle put on a black track suit top, zip, which had a zip in the hood, black T-shirt, green track suit trousers and her pink and white Nike trainers. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You further stated about 3pm, you both left and went shopping in Bromley in Michelle's car, which is a white Ford Sierra Estate. You believe it's a 'Y' reg. but you don't know the actual registration number. Is that, is that correct?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You went to Bromley and you parked the car, you said you went into about 7 or 8 shops, but you didn't buy anything.

LT
No comment.

DS G
You recall going into the Body shop, that was the only shop you can remember visiting. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You further stated that uh, we - meaning you and Michelle, were walking past MacDonalds when you saw a man you know whose first name is Philip, whom you describe as a black Rasta, you just know him to say hello and pass the time of day with, you described him and said he was driving a little red Ford car. He asked what you were doing in Bromley, that sort of thing and drove on. Is that correct?

LT
No comment.

DS G
A

LT
hough you couldn't recall what shops and so forth that you'd been to, you stated to the officer when you made a statement that this was about 4.20 because I looked at my watch.' And there was also a clock on one of the building meaning on the buildings in the shops in Bromley. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You can't remember any of the shops you went to to look for dresses?

LT
No comment.

DS G
And you apparently didn't like them because they were too low cut, is that fair comment?

LT
No comment.

DS G
But you can remember the time?

LT
No comment.

DS G
That's rather strange isn't it to remember the time where you are specifically but not remember any of the shops you went into?

LT
No comment.

DS G
I would have thought when girls and women go shopping for clothes and things they are far more au fait to what sort of shops they're

DS G
visiting than men are. But you can't remember any of the shops?

LT
No comment.

DS G
That's just another one of your lies isn't it?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Moving on from 4.20 where you looked at your watch, and at this stage, you stated in your statement 'we were walking back to the car You left Bromley, traffic was heavy and you drove straight to the Churchill clinic where you arrived at 5.20. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Did you go back to the Churchill clinic at 5.20?

LT
No comment.

DS G
A

LT
hough it's your right Lisa to make no comment because you have been cautioned, and it's obviously your right in law, it, uh, I find it rather strange going through the statement you made, the fact that ironically, that you're very good with times, and very bad with places you'd been to. How did you know it was twenty past five Lisa?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Have you got a friend called Tessa JORDAN?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Can you recall making arrangements with this Tessa JORDAN on that day for any particular reason?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You further stated that when you got back to the clinic you and Michelle entered the clinic and Michelle went to her room initially

DS G
you went to JJ, meaning Miss TAPP's room, and JJ, I beg your pardon, Michelle subsequently joined you and JJ in JJ's room where you sat and had a chat and spoke about JJ's forthcoming birthday and she was talking about or telling you about the drink and stuff she had bought for the party, meaning her birthday party. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Can you remember if the television was on?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Can you remember what programme was on TV?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Do you watch 'Neighbours?'

LT
No comment.

DS G
You further state that during the course of the period you were in JJ's room, that you stayed and that your sister left and went off to do the flowers with John SHAUGHNESSY in the clinic. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Just so you are aware of what I'm talking about Mr HOLMES, for your benefit basically, um, Monday nights at Churchill Clinic, John SHAUGHNESSY has an extra job and does the floral display on Monday nights. Lisa's sister, Michelle, helps him to do this usually between sort of 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening. This is a regular thing on a Monday evening basically.

MH
Thank you for the explanation.

DS G
Right. And just adding to that in fact, her sister does admit that she helped to do the flowers that particular evening.

MH
Uh huh.

DS G
Um, going back to your statement Lisa, that um. you um, stated at that um, your sister um, left the room and went off to do the flowers with John SHAUGHNESSY. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You stated you also made a phone call, which is outside your sisters room, is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You phoned your friend Tessa. Did you make a phone call?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You said, "Michelle left JJ's room at about 6 o'clock or just after. I went back downstairs to ring my mother." Now your mother's made a statement, obviously as you're aware, and mum says that she spoke to you on the phone just after 6 o'clock, when 'Neighbours' had basically finished, that's why she remembers it was 6 o'clock. Is that a fair comment?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You further stated you went back to JJ's room where you both chatted played Monopoly, and that about 7.30 yourself and JJ left her room and went to the off licence which is beside the Ship pub, to get some chocolates and crisps. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You talk about going to visit the reception area where John and Michelle were doing the flowers and you asked them if they wanted anything from the off licence. They said they didn't basically,

DS G
you went off with JJ to the off licence, bought some packets of crisps and chocolate bars, JJ bought a diet coke, and then you got back to JJ's room at about 7.45. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Do you deny making this statement?

LT
No comment.

DS G
So that's not a no is it?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You state that at about five to eight, Michelle came back into JJ's room, went to the toilet, had a cigarette and told you she was taking John home in her car. This was about 8.15. Is that right?

LT
No comment.

DS G
She was going to collect some flower pots from the house.

LT
No comment.

DS G
Have you ever been to Varden's Road?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You stayed in JJ's room and when you subsequently received the phone call, your Mum phoned you and told you to stay with JJ, that something had happened to Alison. And mum stated to you that she was on her way to the police station, meaning Battersea Police Station. Can you recall that conversation on the phone?

LT
No comment.

DS G
You subsequently received a second phone call from your sister Michelle fairly soon after your mum phoned and after that phone call JJ was with you, you were upset because of the fact that Michelle had told you that Alison SHAUGHNESSY had been murdered. Do you

DS G
remember that phone call?

LT
No comment.

DS G
Can you remember being told that Alison had been killed?

LT
No comment.

DS G
I will just stop there if I may actually. The tape is just about to run out. The time is 11.11am. I'll stop this interview for the moment.
