Mr. Shaw said he arrived. He told you Carol was still on the floor with Gordon astride her. He appeared to be trying to restrain her. He was not being violent and Carol was not injured. She seemed however to have been crying. Mr. Park's father Sidney had also come round later. Mr. Park Senior suggested that Mrs. Walmsley left, and she did. Mr. Shaw said he thought that Carol had gone to bed, but perhaps that did not happen, as we know that she was taken off later to the North East. He said that, Mr. Park Senior, and he had stayed for a while and talked. Mr. Shaw described Mr. Park as being as normally calm and self-controlled, and he had never seen him use violence to anyone, and that was the context in which he gave the evidence I referred to before.
Mr. Brierley said he arrived at Bluestones, was met amicably by Mr. Park. There was chaos in the house with broken glass and compost from plants on the floor. There was a real mess he said. He then took Carol back up to the North East.
Mrs. Walmsley said that after this incident she started going out with Mr. Park again, which continued for a couple of months or so. She said she valued her relationship with Mr. Park, but again it had to be scrapped when Carol returned at the end of the Summer.
Mr. Brierley then told us about the rest of his time with Carol in the Summer of 1975. He said that during that period she became more and more depressed because she could not live without the children. He knew in his heart of hearts he told us that Carol would have to go back in the end. He said there was a feeling of despair in the house. It became impossible for them to stay together. He said he had personally a deep sense of grief that something that had started so wonderfully as he put it was ending. It appears that Carol was seeing a doctor in the North East about her health, and Mr. Brierley recalled her doing that in late July and early August, and we now have the evidence of what was happening at that period from the consultant psychiatrist, Dr. Mosel Hudin, who Carol actually consulted and whose statement was read to you, because he has unfortunately passed away.
