The following morning, Russ called to say that we were to be questioned further following the discovery of Beckyâs body parts. We were going to be taken to separate police stations, on opposite sides of Bristol.
âWhy do we have to be separated?â I asked, but Russ just said it was to do with where they had space.
He then told us that they knew the cause of death: Becky had been suffocated. He assured us that it would have been quick. I had dozens of questions. How was she suffocated? Where was she? But he said we could only be told a limited amount while they were still putting the legal case together.
The police came to get Anjie first.
âIâll see you later,â I said as I helped her into the car.
I turned to one of the officers. âMy wife relies on me to take care of her, so if she needs something, please make sure she gets it.â
When I got to the station where I was being questioned, I went in with quite a different viewpoint than on the last time Iâd been there. I wasnât going to defend Nathan any more. He had already admitted killing Becky. Instead, I told them everything I could think of that might help, while still being honest about his personality and his relationships with the different members of our family.
âWhat is he like as a father?â they asked me.
âI have to admit, he is a good father,â I said. âHe does everything for his child.â
âDoes he have a temper?â they pressed.
âYes, he does, occasionally,â I answered. âHe can sometimes have a bit of a short fuse. But I never would have thought that he would be able to do what he has, not in a million years. I never knew he was a monster, otherwise he would not have been welcome in my home. He was always a good enough kid.â
I had mentioned in previous police interviews how young Shauna was when he first got involved with her, and I had already told them about the incident when he brought home those twelve-year-old girls in his car. At the time, I had thought it was a wind-up, but now, after everything he had done, I believed he was capable of anything. This time I made sure I mentioned it again. It seemed to take on new significance, somehow.
My mind was turning over every memory Iâd ever had of Nathan. I remembered those times when he kept jumping out on Becky to scare her. I had dismissed that as just an older brother trying to wind up his younger sister, distressing as it was, but now it felt much more sinister and evil.
There were so many things that kept circling around in my mind. When I looked back, Nathan and Shauna had seemed to be getting on better with Becky in the few months before her death, and I had been pleased. Was that all part of the plan? Was he trying to get Becky to trust him so that he could attack her?
I spoke to the police for hours that day.
