I received a call from Thomas Jones - Witness Care he advised that the CPS have dropped the case of
Curtis v Cordell. Reason - Not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of any conviction. In
further discussion Thomas said DC Campbell was of ill - has now returned; however, he said he will
contact Mr Curtis in relation to the current position of the matter. I asked Tom if the CPS will be writing to
Mr Curtis directly - he said they should to advise accordingly. Tips given to report further incidents and
keep records.

Visited Christine (flat 97 Burncroft Avenue) and Karen (flat 105). Christine stated that she witnessed the
September when Mr Cordell threatened Mr Curtis. She stated that she was with her neighbour Karen
when they heard Mr Cordell shouting and as they came out to see what was happening, she saw Mr
Cordell shouting at Mr Curtis. She alleged that he was shouting abuse and threats and that Karen told
him to leave Mr Curtis alone, that he is an old man. Mr Cordell then started shouting abuse and threats
at Karen. Christine stated that she is not prepared to give a statement and that she will not keep incident
logs.
We then met with Karen outside the block. She stated that she and Christine witnessed the incident that
happened in September. She stated that Mr Cordell was shouting abuse and threats at Mr Curtis and
that she told him to leave Mr Curtis alone as he is an old man and that Mr Cordell then turned against
her and started threatening her. She stated that she is not afraid of him when she is on her own, that her
only concern is that she is looking after 2 very vulnerable children and she will not be able to defend
herself and them if Mr Cordell was to attack her when she is with them. She is happy to make a
statement and will log any further incidents.
