What's he going to say about not immediately phoning 999 - the most obvious response in such a situation?
Asked why he did not call the authorities, Brown said:It looked like a murder scene.
Brown says he made the “stupid” decision to “cover it all up". At this stage he says he did not know how he would do this other than by cleaning up the blood. The defendant tells the jury that he made the decision to cover it up a few minutes after the incident.I've got a dead escort on my workshop floor and there is blood everywhere, what does it look like?
I went and got a sleeping bag and wrapped Alex up in a sleeping bag. I carried her into the shipping container and left her there. I wrapped a jumper and towel around her head to stop more blood dripping out.
I started trying to clear up the blood. I had a bin liner and a load of blue roll, like a hand towel. I was down on my hands and knees trying to get it off the floor, but it was spreading it around more than anything.
Regarding Alex Morgan’s Mini, Brown says he moved it into the open barn where his friend Tony had been.I had asked her to get me some bleach because I’ve run out. She said she’d got some and left it on the doorstep. I phoned her to get her to bring it down the farm for me.
He went into her house??? My god.
I wonder if she told him she’d left a note there that incriminated him, and he went there to look for it and destroy it? He might not have believed her at the time, but he was worried enough to go double check.
His cocaine story doesn’t make any sense to me, why risk going there to protect her reputation? Like what??? Is that what’s really on your mind whilst she’s lying dead in your workshop?
To me it’s much more likely that he’d attacked her at some point after arriving and she has told him if anything happened to her the police would come straight to him as she’d left clues at her house.
He obviously didn’t put 2 and 2 together about the subtle note about the rollerblades.
Even the fact she left that note in such a subtle way - It’s like she had a gut feeling. It’s utterly heartbreaking.
When Mr Downs gave evidence, he told the jury that Brown had used the term “double murder” in his conversation with Brown on November 24. Brown denies ever saying this.I do believe I had told him I would be arrested because the police had taken my keys and phone the night before.
I think he said ‘what the f.u.c.k for’ and I said ‘probably murder’. I assumed they had found the blood. I said they had the workshop and said it would be that and anything they find inside.
I agree with your take on this. He rang his partner within an hour or so of meeting Alex which suggests he killed her soon after she arrived. He finally managed to speak with his partner after 12 to get her to bring the bleach.He went into her house??? My god.

“I presumed I was going to be arrested for a murder no matter what,” Brown says.That would be true but I did try to keep the lie as little as humanly possible. I was just trying to buy more time.
When I walked into the workshop it looked like a murder scene and it looked like I'd be treated like a murderer.
