“I woke up and switched off the alarm and the first thing I saw was blood on my hand. This one here,” and held up her bloodied right hand. I thought it was my own blood initially, of course. I saw there was blood all over me. My nightdress is absolutely covered in it. Look at it. Lots of blood. I don’t understand how it could have got there. I looked across the bed and saw Billy looking like that. I freaked out of course. It was a total shock. I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it. I must have called for an ambulance right away I think, and they got here before you guys did. But Billy was dead they said. I probably sort of knew he was dead all along though. He looked awful lying there. How did this happen? Who did this to him? Who was it? How did they get in here? Who was it killed my Billy? Why would someone, anyone, want to do such a dreadful thing to my Billy? It doesn’t make any sense to me.”
“That’s what we are now investigating Anna. We will try to find the answer to all those questions I can assure you. Now I do have some more questions for you. First, the obvious one of course. Tell me Anna did you do this? Was it you who stabbed your husband with that knife?”
Anna’s eyes opened wide and her eyebrows and voice rose. “Don’t be ridiculous. Of course not! That’s completely ridiculous. Are you not listening to me at all? I’ve told you what happened. I found him lying like that. Why on earth did you ask me that? I don’t tell lies. That would be a sin. It’s the truth I’m telling you. I don’t know who did it. I’ve told you I woke up and found him that way. Someone else obviously did it, but who did it and why? I need to know. It doesn’t make any sense at all to me. None of it does. How could it have happened?”
“That’s my job to answer such questions. I have a few more questions. Now tell me Anna, you say you woke up this morning and you were extensively covered in his blood. Do you happen to know what time is was you woke?”
Anna ran her right bloodied hand through her blonde curly hair, “Hmm. I presume it was 6.30. That’s when my radio alarm is set to go off. No wait, it must have been a few minutes later. The radio came on at 6.30 as it always does. I remember it doing that, but I hit the snooze button on the alarm once as I have a habit of doing when I first wake up. The peace lasts for a few more minutes. But it comes on again, and I switch it off and always get up. I never ever snooze the alarm twice. Never. I don’t know what time it is now. I don’t have a watch on me. I usually look at my cell phone to tell the time.”
Tim glanced at his watch, “Ambulance control got a 111 call some time before 7 am. I’ll find out what time it was logged at later. I got the call from my controller at 7.05am and it’s now…… twenty to eight. What about earlier? Before you went to bed and sleep. When did you go to bed? Do you remember that?”
“Probably 10.20 or so. I think. I didn’t look at the clock. I went to bed before the rugby ended and Billy was still watching the game.”
“The Hurricanes game?”
“Yeah. They were beating the Blues I think.”
Tim’s eyebrows involuntarily raised as she said this, as it was the first thing she had said that did not ring true to him and he blurted, “The rugby finished well before 10. I saw it too.”
“I know that of course. It was recorded on MYSKY. You can check on the set if you want to. Billy wanted to see the game so he had programmed it to record the match and he watched it a bit delayed. He often does that if he is working late, like he did last night”
Tim nodded in understanding. ‘That explains the obvious time discrepancy, so probably not telling a lie.’ Tim being a local, was also a keen Hurricanes fan.
“It was a good game. The Hurricanes won of course. The Blues are a crap team. So, you’re telling me Anna you left him watching a delayed replay of the rugby at about 10.20 and went to bed. Do you happen to know if you fell asleep quick?”
Anna shrugged, “I presume I did. I usually do. I don’t remember. I went to bed and it usually takes a few minutes till I fall asleep. I’m a good sleeper now. I was fast asleep as usual whenever Billy came to bed. I don’t know what time he later came to bed. Probably right after the game ended. I tend to sleep deeply. He doesn’t ever usually wake me if I’m asleep when he comes to bed.”
