16/11/2016: 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.

16/11/2016: 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.
