'She was always alert. She has great awareness,' her mother says. 'When Daisy did the identity parade, she said afterwards: 'He looked different – he's changed his hair.' It wasn't until later in court that we learned that he wetted his hair, to make it look darker.'
Bishop was arrested but denied everything so little Daisy was forced to face cross-examination at Lewes Crown Court.
'The police wanted her to testify. We didn't want her to appear, even to give video evidence,' her mother says. 'She mulled it over in her mind for a few days. Her main question was – 'Will I see the horrible man? And will he see me?'
It was Daisy who made the decision to appear in the end – from behind a screen. She described being hunched up in Bishop's boot but studying everything so she could tell the police later: she had already decided she would survive.
With enormous prescience, and despite being in the dark, she made scratches on the inside of the boot and memorised their number, shape and position. This was to help police identify his car.
When she gave evidence you could hear a pin drop. Some were near tears as she described struggling to get off her roller skates because 'I knew if I could get my boots off, I could do a runner when he opened the boot'.
The defence tried to portray her as a little girl so traumatised she couldn't be believed, but the jury was convinced.
