Thanks for the updates.
What a grubby little picture this is painting for me.

Mr Nicholson confirms it was a rounded key which looked like a Mini key.He asked if he could trust me and I said ‘with what.’ He asked me again if he could trust me. I said ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about or what you want.’
He walked off to the Obsidian work van and came back with a key a few moments later.
Mr Nicholson confirms they put the key in a crisp packet which they then put in the digger. When asked what Mr Brown was like on that day, Mr Nicholson said: "Far more forward than he was in the time since I had met him. Not so placid."He asked me to give the key to Richard. I said 'I’m not getting involved in your s***.'
I'd hazard that one word is bang. Unfortunately.Anyone guess what the asterisks denote in above?

I don't think the word 'bang' would be censored. Even WS allows it!I'd hazard that one word is bang. Unfortunately.
Yah, but if joined with another word it might be censored out. You could be right though.I don't think the word 'bang' would be censored. Even WS allows it!

Kristina Lee to give evidence

Ms Lee spent around four weeks investigating the Sevenoaks site where Mr Brown had been working at the time of his arrest.

Investigation at Sevenoaks site
Ms Lee confirms that the investigations were initially focused on the barn that the defendant had been working on but following the discovery of human remains, the search was widened to cover a greater area of the building site.
Investigations were carried out in the skip and the land surrounding the skip where some of the oil drum’s contents had fallen following its removal by Kent Police. “There was quite a large sieving investigation,” she said.
Ms Lee tells the jury that she was the one responsible for saying whether remains were human or non-human before other samples were sent off for further review. “There were no animal bones recovered from the oil drum,” she said.
Regarding the remains found inside the barrel, Ms Lee said: “Everything was human.”
14:51 KEY EVENT
'Burnt bones and teeth' found
The focus now switches to the barrel where human remains were found. Police had removed the barrel from the skip.
On December 1 2021, a colleague of Ms Lee saw "burnt bones and teeth" surrounding the skip. It had fallen from the barrel when this was removed from the skip.
“Everything was removed from the skip down to its metal base and sides,” Ms Lee said. Regarding the ash that was found in the skip but was no longer inside the barrel, she added: “It was very similar in its makeup and also it contained human remains.”
Seven bone fragments from the skull were recovered in the remains, Ms Lee positively identified these as human. Teeth remains were also found.
Ms Lee has stated that the bones were too badly burned for any DNA to be extracted.
14:56
Jewellery found in skip
Ms Lee has said that pieces of jewellery were also discovered in the skip, and these were subjected to heat exposure. A chain, piercing stud, buckle, buttons and rivets from clothing were all found.
The jury is shown images of bone fragments discovered in the barrel and skip.
15:09 KEY EVENT
Kristina Lee leaves witness stand
Giving her final piece of evidence before leaving the witness stand, Ms Lee said: “All of the human remains found in the ash in the skip had originated from within that barrel."
When asked whether she believes this is how Alexandra Morgan's body was burned, Ms Lee said: “Yes, so the findings at the scene suggest that was the method of burning Miss Morgan’s body.”
Kristina Lee has now left the witness stand and has finished giving evidence.

He adds that the job would be worth more than £100,000 and would involve Ms Morgan spending several nights at a Brighton hotel and going out from time to time to go shopping.Good morning sweetheart how are you and your little man, hope you’re feeling better. A job has come up that I could use you on. I wont say much but it's risk free and worth a lot of money.
