Peter Rouch QC, prosecuting, told the jury the attacker must have carried out reconnaissance of the spot and undertaken target practice before the assault. You may think that the shooter was proficient in the use of a crossbow and must have undertaken target practice before killing Mr Corrigan. In effect, he was her carer, the court was told. But Rouch told the jury that Williams was likely to tell them he had not seen Whall that night. Whall told police he had never met Corrigan or his partner.
