Mr. Park gave evidence about the clothes. He was asked about them, and he said he did not recognise them. He did accept that Carol Park occasionally made clothes of her own, and might have made trousers similar to the yellow pair that we have in the folder, but otherwise he did not recognise the clothing.
I am now going to turn to hammers. We had about that the evidence of Mr. Rideard and Mr. Baxter, both experienced forensic scientists. Mr. Rideard examined the lead piping. He described it. Unfolded it was 67 inches in length he told us, and about 1.5 inches in diameter before it had been flattened. It appeared to be the sort of pipe that might be used for a high level cistern of a toilet installation. He said it bore a number of round indentations, indicating that it had indeed been flattened by the use of the hammer, a hammer. The diameter of the indentation was about one and an eighth inch, and the sharp appearances of the edges suggested the hammer would have been either new or at least in good condition. The piping that was recovered from Bluestones he said was of a different manufacture from the pipe folded and found with the body. Moreover, there was paint on the Bluestones piping which did not match anything on what I might call the body pipe. Mr. Rideard thought that the pipe that had been attached to the body package could fit the toilet bowl recovered from Bluestones, but he said it did not match paint splashes to be found on that toilet bowl.
