24 Hours in Police Custody S00E32 The Butcher of Suburbia Pt 2 of 2 (30th June 2025)
Transcript
00:00OK, so this interview is being recorded.
00:10It's also being monitored by our supervisors.
00:14You've been arrested this morning.
00:17Can you tell me the offence that you've been arrested for?
00:21Um, you suspect that I killed somebody.
00:26Yeah, OK.
00:27So you're here because you've been arrested for the offence of murder against Annette Smith.
00:32So are you responsible for the death of Annette Smith?
00:46Yes.
00:50As soon as the news come out that Annette was missing,
00:53the first thing we all said was, have you spoke to Scott?
00:56They were always with each other.
00:58Some people seemed to think that he was her carer,
01:01but I had the impression that he was a friend and more of a lodger, maybe.
01:05They had a fantastic relationship.
01:07They were like a mother and son.
01:09She was on her own, obviously vulnerable.
01:12She let him live with her.
01:13He was just a guy that everyone knew in the area.
01:15Just really, really friendly.
01:17Genuinely shocked.
01:19And we want to bring closure and find Annette for her family.
01:26Where is Annette?
01:28It's crucial that we find the truth.
01:44Come here!
01:46Hands behind your back!
01:48Got to question everything, believe nobody.
01:51What do you want to do?
01:53It's almost a game of chess.
01:54Trying to slip up.
01:56This is your opportunity to talk to me.
01:58Your legal rights still stand.
02:16I know that you've said you don't want a solicitor, but that's an ongoing right.
02:21I find it really difficult to comprehend how somebody can go from nothing to murder,
02:29and it does make me worry whether this is his only offending.
02:38We want the truth from you in this interview.
02:40Yeah.
02:41And I want you to be completely truthful with me.
02:43Yeah.
02:44So, have you ever done anything like this before?
02:46Yeah.
02:47Not that I...
02:48..can think of.
02:53So, when you say, not that you can think of, take your time.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Because you would know if you have done something like this before.
03:07OK?
03:08Yeah.
03:09No, I've never done anything like that before.
03:24You've never killed anybody before?
03:26No.
03:27OK.
03:31Even though Scott has confessed, we still have to test what he's saying
03:36and challenge what he's saying.
03:39He may confess to parts of what has actually happened
03:43because actually that is better than us finding out the actual truth of what happened.
03:51But I think with this particular case, we don't know where Annette is.
03:55We have no body.
03:56And not only do we need to know that for evidence
03:59and to be able to prove what has happened to her,
04:02but also there's a family that are missing their loved one as well.
04:06So, trying to, you know, really understand what has gone on
04:10and dig as deep as possible to get to the truth is really important.
04:16Just before all the missing stuff started, Scott had really changed in his demeanour.
04:30I saw him one day outside, parked under the tree, which was Annette's parking spaces.
04:36He'd gone from being this flamboyant, you know, extrovert,
04:42to kind of trying to go unnoticed, if you like.
04:47He'd put weight on, his hair was longer, he was drinking more.
04:53It was almost like there was two sides to him.
04:56Yeah.
04:57There's just one or two inconsistencies that we want to clear up.
05:09He started work last July at the farm.
05:12It did involve butchering, so that was of interest.
05:16He told his boss as well in the statement that we got yesterday
05:19that he had an operation on the 31st of October.
05:22And it's been mentioned that he had five weeks off of work from someone.
05:26And I do know that he has emailed or text Pat to say
05:30that he's stressed with it or needs some time off work.
05:33I think he was supposed to go back off three weeks.
05:35He was supposed to, the first day that he was due back in,
05:37she said he only managed half a day
05:39and then went off and then was given loads of excuses
05:42for another couple of weeks before he actually managed to get back.
05:45And I think that's been a bit of a theme throughout,
05:48you know, right back from the high-risk investigation
05:51that his accounts to various different people are very inconsistent.
05:56You had started annual leave 30th of October.
06:05Mm-hm.
06:06That was your first day of annual leave from work?
06:08Yeah.
06:09OK. So when you've taken your annual leave,
06:11how long have you agreed with work at that point
06:14that you were going to have off work?
06:15Two weeks.
06:16Two weeks?
06:17Yeah.
06:18It was during that second week that that's when you've suffocated Annette.
06:22Yeah.
06:23What was work's understanding of you not being there?
06:29What have you said to them?
06:31Um, I had to go to hospital.
06:38OK. What for?
06:42Uh...
06:44An operation.
06:46So you have told work that you had to go to hospital for an operation?
06:51Yeah.
06:52OK.
06:53What did you tell them the operation was for?
06:56Um, to have a tumour removed.
07:02OK.
07:03From where?
07:04Uh, my abdomen.
07:08OK.
07:09Did you have to go to work for...?
07:10No.
07:11OK.
07:12Talk to me about that.
07:13I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the time off.
07:18Because...
07:21It was really busy.
07:24Um, so I lied.
07:31It's difficult to trust everything that Scott is telling us
07:34because clearly he's not telling us everything
07:36and in some cases he is lying.
07:43No.
07:44No.
07:46No.
07:49No.
07:53No.
07:56No.
08:02No.
08:09No.
08:10In my opinion, telling your employees you've got cancer to have time off work is extreme.
08:24Yeah.
08:25You know, you could have said...
08:28You could have just said I felt sick.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Mm.
08:32What made you go to that sort of lengths just to get some time off work?
08:38I don't know.
08:42Did you take the time off work because you knew you were going to kill Annette?
08:48With the suspect in custody, Bedfordshire Police's intelligence unit
09:08analyse his phone.
09:10Looking to see if there's anything contained in his recent watching history
09:16that may give an insight into what's occurred or anything that might have been in his mindset.
09:21OK.
09:22So these are all in his list.
09:24A lot of gory stuff, isn't it?
09:26This one's quite a gruesome series as well.
09:29He likes his horror, doesn't he?
09:31Yeah.
09:32It's a large percentage of it, isn't it?
09:34Yeah.
09:35There's loads.
09:36When you're looking at a domestic-related murder, it is extremely important that you understand
09:50the relationship between them to try and understand where things might have started to go wrong,
09:56started to turn a bit sour.
09:58Tell me about your relationship with Annette.
10:04Me and my partner at the time split up and we sold our house and I didn't really have anywhere else to go in Annette.
10:12I said, oh, will you just come and stay with me for a bit?
10:16She said, I've got a spare room.
10:18So I moved in and we just got on like a house on fire.
10:25We would cook for each other, we'd go out to theatre and for meals.
10:31People would come round, she'd do dinner parties.
10:34We just had a really nice time.
10:37I guess I was a house guest, really, but we were friends.
10:43But three years ago, she went into hospital and had a mini-stroke.
10:49She could do less for herself than she could before.
10:52She barely got out of bed.
10:54I was the only visitor.
10:57Yeah.
10:58And stop.
10:59There was no-one else that I, as far as I can tell, ever went into that flat for three or four years.
11:07She hardly ever had anybody coming into the house.
11:11She used to before.
11:13She'd have her nails done and her hair done and go out and all the jewellery and look nice.
11:21But, yeah, she sort of didn't want to do any of that after she got poorly.
11:26Yeah, OK.
11:27She used to have house dinner parties.
11:30Mm-hm.
11:31Always...
11:32Annette's always got something going on.
11:34Everybody's new as the queen around here.
11:37Aw.
11:38Bless her.
11:39It sounds like she was really outgoing, being known as the queen of Fairfield,
11:45and she's talking about, obviously, having a lot of parties and having everybody round.
11:50And she always had some nice jewellery.
11:53Now, Scott said that she took her jewellery with her.
11:56OK.
11:57Oh, God, she did like...
12:00They said that she liked her big jewelry.
12:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:02Put those earrings.
12:03Do you wear something?
12:05Oh, and that necklace.
12:06Where have these feathers come from?
12:07The hoods.
12:08Oh, yeah.
12:09Oh, yeah.
12:10I think I've got something of interest here.
12:1424th of November, nine days after Annette goes missing.
12:19So, on Scott's phone, he has got...
12:22two valuation messages from Cash4Gold.
12:25So, he's clearly sent something off to them to get valued.
12:29OK.
12:30So, yeah, if we can get a DPIA into them...
12:34Yeah, no problem.
12:36It'd be good to know if any payments have been made to him, what it was.
12:40And then I'll obviously speak to the OET and see if they can speak to the family and see
12:43if she's got anything that's missing.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Bearing in mind that is nine days after he says that she's gone missing.
12:46Yeah.
12:47We'll have a look at his financials, see what he's received, if there's any payments in
12:50from...
12:51Yeah.
12:52Okay.
12:53So, yeah, if we can get a DPIA into them...
12:54Yeah, no problem.
12:55...it'd be good to know if any payments have been made to him, what it was.
12:58And then we can...
12:59I'll obviously speak to the OET and see if they can speak to the family and see if she's
13:04got anything that's missing.
13:05Yeah.
13:06Bearing in mind that is nine days after he says that she's gone missing.
13:09Yeah.
13:10We'll have a look at his financials, see what he's received, if there's any payments in from
13:14cash for gold as well.
13:16What I'm looking for is details of the items, if they've got any visual on it, what the estimate
13:22was and if it was paid.
13:24Yeah.
13:25And I suppose it's probably worth asking if they've got any other history.
13:44cash for gold.
13:45So, it's receipt for £2,715.
13:49Check deposit.
13:51Cash for gold.
13:52How can I help?
13:53Oh, hi, Scott.
13:54I've got your valuation ready.
13:5512 items in total.
13:56The chain with the six small diamond chips, there's no value in these stones, unfortunately.
13:58Okay.
13:59The money's really in the metal there.
14:00Yeah.
14:01And there's a bangle that is silver.
14:02There is a value in silver, but it is a fraction of the price of gold.
14:06Mm-hmm.
14:07All together, sir, I've got £2,511 for you.
14:08If you happy with that, I can get you paid, sir.
14:09Yeah, thanks very much for that.
14:10Yeah, you're more than welcome.
14:13value in these stones unfortunately okay the money's really in the metal there what's yeah
14:18chips in the trade and there's a bangle that is silver there is a value in silver but it is a
14:23fraction of the price of gold all together sir i've got two thousand five hundred and eleven
14:28pounds for you if you're happy with that i can get you paid sir yeah thanks very much for that
14:34yeah you're more than welcome
14:43did you um pay rent or anything for stone so what was the arrangement there i tried to offer her rent
14:53on a number of occasions but she'd always refuse so when we went out for dinner and stuff i'd pay
15:01for things like that hello darling and she's a speaker and you know me i don't eat that much
15:08so a medium size one will do yeah i'll do that that's not a problem oh hi it's scott hello darling
15:15i'm out of ciggies if you can pop on for five minutes can you bring me something absolutely
15:21no worries at all thank you so much bye cheers bye i could just eat a duck breast tonight
15:28yep no problem did you have money problems before you moved in within it
15:33um i got into a lot of credit card debt about six years ago how much were you in debt
15:42uh i think it was about 30 000 okay one of the lines of inquiry that we conducted which is quite
15:52normal in any investigation is into scott's finances to establish if there is a financial motive
16:01the business partner that that scott was with he was aware that scott was spending a lot of money
16:09and he was a bit concerned about this and him and his partner decided to speak with with scott
16:15just to highlight their concerns but he was scott was kind of like live for the moment and he said
16:21everything was was fine until november 2018 whereby he gets a letter from the tax man to say that
16:28uh they owe 20 000 pounds and then he digs a little deeper and he discovers that uh he's not been
16:35paying the corporation tax um suppliers um etc and the figure um then appears to be more in the region
16:43of 50 000 pounds in debt but he does say that in his opinion it was down to mismanagement and
16:51incompetence on scott's behalf rather than any um dishonesty when scott and steve parted company scott
17:00was spending money like it was going out of fashion he got a new car went on holidays and paying for
17:04friends to go with him scott wasn't concerned it was very much uh live for today right okay interesting
17:11they want to build up a financial history for him so now anything in terms of his finance
17:28there's loads of letters here and stuff with annette's name on just miscellaneous paper belonging to
17:35annette smith well so this is a debt thing for him yeah this is probably going to be the most key
17:45thing so miss annette smith card in the name of scott patterson scott lived a parasitic lifestyle
17:58we've looked at scott's bank account and he certainly didn't have a stable income so living
18:06with annette would have been a really attractive proposition for him
18:16this is her place in spain
18:18she'd often go away with family and friends on holiday she'd just do it because she wants people to
18:31be together and enjoy themselves she'd be the one let's let's go away for a weekend she was quite
18:37glamorous you look at images and photos from her from when i sort of got to know from the 80s
18:42she had the big shoulder pads and you know she was that she liked a gin and tonic and a cigarette
18:47she did like wearing nice clothes she liked the finer things she liked her jewelry i would say if it
18:54shines she liked it so if it had a twinkle or a sparkle that would be the jewelry she would often go for
19:01so this video has been taken while annette is missing it doesn't look like a man who's sickened by what he's done
19:20he just looks like the life and soul of the party doesn't he just a really fun loving person
19:32460 friends from scott's social media you can see that there are pictures of him on holiday enjoying
19:40himself it certainly appears to be a lifestyle that is beyond his means he relied on annette he was
19:52living at her house rent free and she was basically funding his lifestyle
20:01the intelligence unit received video evidence of items sent by the suspect
20:06for valuation by cash for gold right let's see if we can match them with the transactions yeah
20:12what's the most expensive one you've got uh there is um on the 14th of november 12 items were sent in
20:20including gold chains bangles and chains and that's gonna be this just over two and a half thousand pounds
20:27you're looking at you know three and a half thousand pounds worth of gold transactions
20:57this is gonna be a significant amount of money to someone in his situation isn't it i think so
21:02definitely yeah could she have found out that he was selling all the gold i mean that's a
21:07quite a lot that he sold already could that have been the flashpoint as to as to what's happened
21:11yeah well yeah i mean it's got to be put to him isn't it it definitely yeah
21:27scott patterson has sold jewelry which we believe belongs to annette
21:34scott has been contacting cash for gold over five different occasions with different bundles of
21:41jewelry in total he sent 34 items and has received 5 2028 pounds back from cash for gold
21:49The fact that Scott was stealing and selling Annette's jewellery does add to the hypotheses
21:58that you know it was a financial motive not just what he was trying to sort of lead us to
22:06in terms of having enough of her demands and caring for her
22:22there are a couple of things i want to put you that just a few inconsistencies
22:26that we just need to clarify so first of all um i want to talk to you about cash for gold
22:33so tell me what you know about cash for gold
22:36um i don't know you
22:44do you not know or do you just not want to say because you're embarrassed
22:49um
22:53because now is the time to tell us how many times have you been to cash for gold
23:00and sold jewellery
23:01uh once for myself um jewelry that i had and that's how i knew about cash for gold
23:23okay so we've got a statement so you've gone five times
23:31uh okay right twice after you'd killed her three times before
23:40okay and the first time is on the 27th of july
23:42and that's before annette's died and that's before annette's died oh right so what have you sold
23:50uh a half sovereign um a south african gold coin
23:58i don't remember what else it's all i can remember
24:02so on the 27th of july four items were sent including platinum stone earrings and a sovereign coin
24:12okay so who's with the platinum stone earrings
24:16i guess there must have been annette's why do you say you guess because i don't know why i would have platinum earrings
24:30so were they annette's or were they not annette's i don't remember
24:34are you saying you don't remember when you don't want to give me an answer
24:48i must have been are you aware that you didn't go to them with your stuff yeah okay so you've lied yeah
24:54okay
24:57who gave you permission to sell
24:59i agree okay so you'd stolen those from annette yeah where were they in the house
25:06in her jewelry box okay so you've gone through her jewelry box and taken her earrings and sold them
25:13yeah so was annette in the room the time at the times that you were taking her jewelry
25:17yeah did she see you take the jewelry no
25:23i'll just stay when she's asleep okay and on the times that you've taken the jewelry
25:27after you've killed annette where would have never been in the property
25:32in the covering stairs
25:40just see if there's any blood on it at all i can't see with no trace of a body
25:46officers searched the estate where annette smith lived and its surroundings
25:57i just wanted to have a quick chat with you about this netflix date just to see what he was looking
26:14at just before the disappearance but he watches a massive amount of blood gore and murderers and
26:21quite a bit of that comes within the last couple of months leading up to it could be a coincidence
26:26but the title he watches a trailer of the day before she goes missing is called the murderer
26:31it's certainly interesting isn't it given the circumstances another title that he looks at
26:35is called the funeral director he shares the science and procedures involved in his profession
26:40it's a bit different when you're when you're doing this on somebody you know it isn't it
26:54so in essence it's an education process showing him how to dispose of a body it's certainly a
27:00consideration when you look at the time frame but it suggests that there was a bit of more
27:04pre-planned aspect to it perhaps yeah i think scott's fascination with extremely violent horror movies
27:17is highly suspicious has something that's happened in a horror film has that influenced the murder
27:28this interview is about finding out the truth about what's happened yeah where isn't it
27:34there isn't a full body
27:43uh did keep her in the house for quite some time and then as time went by i realized that she couldn't
27:52stay in the house um wasn't sure what to do so i did dismember her
28:05to murder somebody and take somebody's life is bad enough but to then go on to dismember their body is
28:15particularly horrifying
28:19it was a gradual thing i couldn't face doing something like that just all
28:26so what did you remove first i think her feet and how do you do that a knife and a saw
28:35and it was easier than i thought it was going to be
28:37i work in a butcher's so i see how they deal with things like that at work
28:47but i obviously watch quite a lot of horror films and stuff so it's probably coming from there as well
28:55it was it sort of you then discarded the feet straight away i just put her in a bag next to a net
29:05in the hole okay and how long was a net in the hole for
29:09well in time okay at least a few weeks yeah so you've chopped off the feet yeah and then i just want
29:16you to think about what did you next do um hands what was that like that was weirder because it was
29:26a hand so it was more it was like i was holding hands with a net so that felt and were you holding
29:35a hand in one while you're cutting in the other yeah okay so then was the hand then just left in your
29:42hand and then where were they where the hands kept with the feet with the feet not in the same bag
29:49but like in a bag with feet and what kind of bag was it just to carry a bag i think
29:57and then what did you do next
30:02it was probably only a couple of days after that that's when i decided to remove the head
30:08and that's the first time i'd looked at it in the face since it happened and i think i probably
30:16covered it her face up again and left her before i actually did it because i was probably sick actually
30:26and i went back two or three times to try and couldn't do it and then obviously i did
30:48and that was really hard
30:50okay how many body parts were there when you were finished um
31:05nine oh plus the torso you can turn them together and you've done this over a period of a few weeks
31:13yeah uh and then just discarded the remains gradually um just in rubbish bins
31:30okay what rubbish bins it's public bins okay what where are these public bins uh i think there was
31:40there was one in lecture i can't remember the name of the street but near the little tescos one in
31:54little car park in lecture
31:58and what about the head that's that went into one of the bins as well and it's kind of down a little
32:06concrete road rather than a tarmac road yeah and just plugged it in oh my gosh
32:15did you buy anything in these shops did you put some hands in the bin and then go buy a can of coke
32:23or did you go to little put some feet in the bin and buy a pint of milk we're just trying to work out
32:27is there any purchases that you've made that we could then identify i can't remember but possibly
32:34i want you to think really carefully because you know not everybody has done this when in the last
32:42few months you know killed somebody dropped them up and put them in little bins okay so what i need
32:48you to think carefully about is on these significant days they're probably going to be quite significant
32:53in your life did you after putting them in the bin go into a shop and buy something i probably did
33:00okay because i was probably doing it as part of like my daily routine okay
33:14i can't believe he's chopped her arm
33:16are you okay yeah yeah yeah just took us by surprise yeah no absolutely took us by surprise
33:27yeah take a moment to kind of regather yourself i think i think he just is so relieved to get
33:35yourself stressed yes he's been harboring it for six months hasn't he yeah i still can't believe he's
33:40dotted everyone who parts around outside supermarkets officers continue their search for any human
33:49remains in the communal area of fairfield hall he always used to put his the rubbish out in black bags
33:57it's obvious it's not whatever it should be in there coming up to christmas it was constantly bags
34:03being put out yeah we have three big basements which could easily be accessed by residents
34:14it's absolutely crucial that we find annette it's important for the family so that they can
34:20bury her say their goodbyes and to come to terms with what's happened and grieve but unfortunately because
34:29of the time that has passed i do worry it might be hard to locate her body parts
34:43the key to his lockup
35:01oh unit 53
35:03all of the collections that have gone from liddles and tescos and the residential waste
35:15the the strong indication is that everything will have been incinerated i mean i think i think that
35:21does obviously change things um in terms of you know feasibility of search etc yeah yeah i think that
35:28probably negates anything so that we can do there unfortunately yeah what is of interest is a lock
35:35up so you're aware that we do know that scott has got a lock up um somewhere but ash has been doing
35:41some work on that today so i think with the help of the community team we've um unearthed some small
35:46businesses that are operating out late in buzzard so all the dpa requests have gone into those um today
35:52so hopefully this afternoon we'll bottom that inquiry out
36:06we're trying to find a net and we want to bring closure and find a net for her family okay so what
36:11i want you to really think carefully about is we've asked you where these body parts are and i know
36:17it's been a few months but this is quite a significant thing that you've done yeah you've
36:22mentioned these bins and was there any other areas think about the next the next time you left the
36:28house with a bag where where did you go oh uh down west drive in between fairfield and arse
36:38just down an old road that people walk up and down
36:42there's an electric cupboard or something and i just put it behind there i brought the dog down there
36:54but it was again a thing that i'll do every now and then because it's a nice walk for the dog
37:12i've never known a pathway that is so popular with dogs and dog walkers it's unbelievable
37:21that's been under a very long time yeah it's been under a year but
37:49it's just random we've done everything we can with nothing else left in there to search
38:00darren i think i found the lockup yeah so if we can um get access to it straight away
38:05but i'm not sure what else we need to get from the outside was that in letchworth is it yeah yeah
38:11okay yeah it kind of fits with the financial transactions and stuff and yeah thing yeah
38:15so i think it i'm pretty sure it is okay so these are the cctv stills which were taken from the
38:23storage unit in letchworth this is scott here oh okay this is the 28th of i assume the time is
38:30right 28th of february at 11 o'clock he's got some kind of trolley there with a couple of cases on
38:37and he's going to take it into is that his storage unit yeah okay yeah but you can see he's got two
38:42cases on the trolley there okay last one is him wheeling out coming out with an empty trolley
38:58so my thoughts are we'll do dna on the padlock yeah that will help us show that only he has been in
39:14and out okay so just to give you a bit of an update really we're at the um storage place and we've
39:36opened the locker i think we need to get that big tarpaulin out okay it is full of stuff um bits and
39:48pieces but there is also um we believe a large suitcase which is wrapped in tarpaulin
40:07so what we'll do is we'll try and open up the zip yeah um and um let's see what we can see yeah you
40:15might as well start unzipping in ash yeah there's a label there does that give anything away that like
40:20the brand or anything no it's just about importing information there's rotten flesh there the smell
40:26is just unmistakable yeah yeah yeah yeah that's um okay we have a torso and they've had a little peek
40:35and it and said that she's in a another bag wrapped in there
40:44i just found it odd that he's kind of kept that part of the rest of it
40:48did he just think that that was too big to put in a bin or something maybe
40:58going from having no criminal footprint at all or no suggestion of violence to then murder somebody
41:07and dismember their body is is quite shocking for him to then try and cover it up to try and get
41:15away with what he did i still worry that we only know about this one and whether there are other
41:22offenses and we we really have to look at the circumstances to try and identify whether that is
41:28a possibility we were looking into annette's father's um death so in terms of the father scott kind of saw
41:38him the day before and then the following morning the carers found him deceased but there there is a
41:44note on the log to say that his head was in the the um the bed bars which um yeah not sure if that's you
41:53know i suppose the concern is is is that an indication of a struggle to prior to prior to his death
42:07before we end this interview tonight is there anything else that you want to tell us
42:12i can't think of anything else it's quite a significant thing isn't it what i think somebody chopping
42:22them up is quite significant so have you done that before
42:31no
42:34why did you go to those lengths to do that to despise of the body yeah
42:40because i thought if there wasn't a body i'd get away with it
42:54this is a deeply distressing crime and the fact that any human being can do this to another human
43:01being is sickening but scott was supposed to be her friend you know they had a really close relationship
43:08and i think the fact that he could do that to somebody that he was that close with just makes
43:14this all particularly harrowing
43:15so since we last spoke we've approached the cps and they have made a decision uh that you are going
43:32to be charged with murder okay yeah so i'm going to go through that now so this charge is on the 8th
43:37of november 2023 at hitchin in the county of harborshire murdered annette smith and that is contrary to
43:43common law do you have any reply to that no i hope that the family have got some answers and i hope
43:56that they're able to grieve this will have a profound effect on the community that annette lived in
44:04not just because of what happened to annette but because of the person that scott was and the fact
44:12that he was a friend to so many
44:26i'm very angry hurt and angry i hold my hands up to being sorry yeah like i really really genuinely
44:49thought that he was innocent genuinely i was so certain inside that he wouldn't have done it and
44:59that scott could never be like that and now i just feel like you fooled me that's how i feel and i think
45:05a lot of people feel like that as well that they've been played for fools
45:08he made everyone believe that he was so lovely he built trust yeah with like everyone in the community
45:25she looked at him like a son yeah we thought she was being cared for looked after protected
45:31i need to stop i'm sick of crying over this cunt how can you do that to someone i don't know
45:47i trusted him so much he is a manipulative murderer and someone that knew what he was doing
45:56there is no forgiveness for what he's done and i hope he rots in prison
46:03if you dwell on the bad times we'll all suffer as a family so we raise a glass and think about the good
46:09times i'll always remember annette with a smile on her face and just enjoying herself
46:26that's it
46:31and i don't like it
46:33i think
