How long were you in there Pat? I had been drinking and cannot remember the exact time that I was there, but whilst I was upstairs I heard someone downstairs say be careful someone is coming. Did you hide? Yes I hid for a while and then I heard the bang I have told you about. Carry on Pat? I ran out. What were the others doing? The three of them were still in the room. What were they doing? They all looked shocked and were shouting at each other. Who said what? I heard Jimmy say "it went off by accident". Pat, I know this is upsetting but you appreciate that we must get to the bottom of this. Did you see the boy's body? Yes, sir, he was on the settee. Did you see any injury to him? Yes, sir, he had been shot in the head. What happened then? I was appalled and felt sick.
