'It wasn't fun anymore': Friend of man allegedly murdered at 40th birthday party takes the stand
A close friend of a man allegedly murdered at a 'debauched' celebration on his 40th birthday has recalled the moment she realised 'something had happened' and that 'it wasn't fun anymore.'
He told police he put Mr Toulson, who the court has been told was gay, in a 'guillotine hold' as he began 'dragging him towards the bedroom' with his barrister telling the court he 'honestly believed he was about to be raped or sexually assaulted.' Mr Johnson met 42-year-old Ms Smith whilst they were both working as prison officers at HMP Forest Bank and he moved into her home with her in April last year after splitting with his girlfriend last year.
She said the plan was originally to return to Mr Toulson's flat to 'change into comfies', walk her dogs which she had left there and then 'spend the night getting a takeaway.' However, she said she didn't remember leaving the brunch event, after which they went to another bar. "I could see down the hallway, Dave was laid down on the floor and Nikki was at the side of him. I think she was doing CPR at that point, chest compressions, but I don't know if it dawned on me at that point."
Ms Smith said she remembered someone passing her a mobile phone. "I don't know whose phone it was. I put it to my ear, someone was asking questions. One of the questions was 'is he breathing?" I don't think I answered because I didn't know the answer. I was still trying to get what was going on."
