Mandy has now turned to Erin inviting Simon to the mushroom lunch which was held on 29 July 2023.
Mandy points to Simon’s evidence yesterday that Erin had informed him she had “important” and “serious” medical news to share when she invited him to lunch.
“Let me put this to you, Erin did not say the words ‘important’ or ‘serious’ when she spoke to you that day,” Mandy says.
Simon replies that he can’t remember the exact words she said but that “important and serious are reasonable descriptions of what she communicated”.
Mandy suggests that the words “important” and “serious” were not used in his police statement.
Simon does not refute this.
