5 New witness statements
SIO Harris has now received two new witness statements that have been gathered as part of the ongoing investigation. These comprise a statement from one of the officers who attended at the scene (Sandra Ashton, whom Neale flagged down in the street) and a statement from Coral Gledhill, who lives next door to Leonard Anderson, the victim. You should read both statements with care, paying attention to all of the details. Make note of any detail that you think is relevant to the case, and also bear in mind that after reading these statements you will be asked to update your investigation timeline.

Activity 8
Go back to the timeline that you created earlier and add to it any other information that you have picked up from these witness statements. You can add general notes on what each person was doing between particular times to help you get a sense of what was going on when the body was discovered. While many of these general notes might not seem a great deal of investigative use, they will help familiarise you with the case in all its detail. You may also want to read through the witness statements again.
