00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,399 Chambers last night 222 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:03,079 the Secretary of Valerie Coral no she 223 00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:05,880 was at at a club with friends what about 224 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,240 the chief clerk uh what's his name oh 225 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,120 Harry Norton Harry Norton yeah the first 226 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,680 of many to tell us what a fine lawyer 227 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,920 visha alridge was seems everyone 228 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,279 shorthand for not liking her very much 229 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:17,680 she wouldn't have kept him on after 230 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,480 retirement age if she'd become head of 231 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,360 Chambers true but he was back home by 232 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,720 7:4 Simon 233 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Castello he left early his wife got in 234 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,760 just after 6 they had a meal and watch 235 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,320 television Mrs Castell confirms that but 236 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,040 my friend Valery says that Costello had 237 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,720 a r with venisha that afternoon Costello 238 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,040 didn't remember the argument till I 239 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,680 reminded him he said he slipped his mind 240 00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,680 he claimed venisha Aldridge wanted his 241 00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,360 support but he was more inclined to give 242 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,680 it to Lord it was the other way around I 243 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,639 think Lord wanted to stop her taking the 244 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,240 job that's why he was with her later 245 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,440 discussion about the future he called it 246 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,519 I'd say another r 247 00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,079 opinion seems to be that Lord wanted 248 00:12:01,079 --> 00:12:03,639 head of Chambers very badly badly enough 249 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,240 to kill well he expected to get it until 250 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,240 she threw a hat in the 251 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,519 ring what about Lord's alivi does it 252 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,279 stand up he said he was at the theater 253 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,839 the seavoy alone it's not a long walk 254 00:12:16,839 --> 00:12:19,000 from 255 00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:22,519 chambers rri also spent the evening 256 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:26,079 alone he left Chambers at 7:15 and went 257 00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,959 home to drop off his briefcase and then 258 00:12:27,959 --> 00:12:30,160 went to a restaurant rules in Maiden 259 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,560 Lane for dinner it was his birthday and 260 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:34,839 apparently that's what he always does 261 00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:36,360 and Langton was home in Kensington by 262 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,519 700 that too is confirmed by his 263 00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:41,720 wife so the only person we know for 264 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,120 certain was in the building at the time 265 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,600 of death was the cleaner was his 266 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240 Carpenter so did anyone else come into 267 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,279 Chambers someone we don't know the 268 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:52,320 killer knew the place knew about rri's 269 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,160 blood knew where the wig was she was 270 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,680 stabbed with her own paper knife and 271 00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,600 died instantly the killer was either 272 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,839 luck or just knew what he was doing the 273 00:13:01,839 --> 00:13:03,600 head was then decorated with the wig and 274 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,199 the blood from the 275 00:13:05,199 --> 00:13:07,360 refrigerator there's something about 276 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,959 what was done to the 277 00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:11,160 body I find it more shocking than the 278 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,480 murder 279 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,880 itself do you know there's a question we 280 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,760 haven't 281

00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,199 on well it speaks of a depth of hatred 285 00:13:29,199 --> 00:13:30,480 that's 286 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,480 frightening I mean so far we've been 287 00:13:32,480

00:13:42,160 that I think the truth's 291 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,320 hidden hidden in a dark corner of 292 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,720 someone's 293 00:13:57,759 --> 00:14:00,759 life 294
