Rebecca says she was in the library from 20:00 until late on the night Marilyn was killed.

Statement:

My name is Rebecca Pallridge. I'm 22 and studying Chemistry at Oxford University.

Marilyn was my roommate and friend. With her gone the room feels ever so empty. It's eerie, really weird. I am just so glad that I wasn't there when this terrible atrocity took place. I'm so scared and I can't sleep at night. None of this makes any sense. I've just tried to lose myself in my work.

She had a gregarious lifestyle. Marilyn was so wild it almost seems as if she brought this upon herself. She was always out with Guy and never knuckled down and did some serious study. Parties, boys, drink, she even told me she smoked cannabis once. She was very difficult to live with sometimes.

Who would want to do this? Well, when Carl turned up things got very strange. He gives me the creeps, he smelt funny, he was a real simpleton and the reclusive sort. He got a job here a few weeks ago and set about harassing Marilyn from day one. He was obsessed with her. I tried to be there for her but as ever she turned her back on our friendship.
