I received a call from Thomas Jones - Witness Care he advised that the CPS have dropped
the case off Simon Cordell. Reason - Not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect
of any conviction. In further discussion Thomas said DC Campbell was of and- 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 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.
