Moondog was being taken down the corridor towards the Interview Rooms.  Millar left Weatherup sitting in the reception area, re-loading his camera, changing the lens and carefully labelling the used film.  Then, writing furiously into a well thumbed spiral notepad, he made sure he remembered the events in fine detail.  Things often happened so fast that he had trouble recalling those little things which add spice, drama and human interest to the story.  Teenagers reading it would even want to know what kind of trainers the lad wore, what music he liked, and which football team he supported, if he could get such details.  He always hung around to try to get more of such trivia.  If not fuller details of the story breaking.

The Desk Sergeant filled in the D.I. on events which took place while he was out at York Road.  He talked in a low voice, with his back turned to Weatherup. 

“We’ve got John the Word in Interview Room 2 and his sister, our Forensic Psychologist, in Interview Room 1.  The surveillance team tailing them followed them right here.  They both met up on the corner and came in together.  You’re not going to believe this Sir, but the woman has confessed to murdering her Father back in 1962.”

“She’s what?”  Millar, in his shock, said it a bit too loudly, drawing the journalist’s attention to himself.

“Says she killed her Father years ago.  And that’s not all.  She says he killed their Mother.  They were just kids when they concealed the murders.  Seems they’d got away with it too.  Beats me why they’re owning up now, but there you are.  She wants to talk to you.  The Forensics crew are over at the Wilson house now.  They hid the bodies in the basement.”

Weatherup knew something was going on, so he was not going to rush home in a hurry.  Not just yet anyway!

The scene the Forensics Team found at the Wilson home was bizarre, to say the least.  The Doctor examined the remains of George and Martha Wilson.  The cold temperatures in the unheated basement had slowed down decomposition, but the bodies were still in bad condition.  However, it was obvious that George Wilson had been hit several times on the back of his head.  His skull was fractured in three places and there was a massive wound above his right ear and extending backwards from it.  The wound had rough, uneven edges and had been caused by a blunt instrument.  Strands of hair and particles of bone were likely to be found inside the skull at autopsy.
