I have been a person who signs things in four minutes and a person who builds a file for five weeks, and they are the same person, and the second one was trying to make up for the first.
What he was actually doing.
And here is the part that took eleven months and a trial to get straight, and that I have had to let go of in stages.
He was not going to do it with us in the house.
He knew I was on days that week. He knew Nia was at school from ten to
nine. He had the texts to prove he believed we would be out of that building by twenty past, and the prosecution accepted it, and so in the end did I.
What he intended was an empty house, a gas fire, and a claim.
The eight hundred and fifty thousand is a joint policy that pays on death and he never once tried to claim on it, and the fire would not have triggered it, and the thing he wanted was the buildings cover.
