There was no sign that the door had been locked shut, and Elizabeth Moss, a crime scene investigator, said that she could open it easily without any resistance.
DCI Round expressed his worry about a’strike’ to the door and sought permission from Falaq’s family to talk with his younger siblings, who were five and seven years old at the time.
He informed Ms. Kearsley, who saw the kids as crucial witnesses, that her office had turned down his “repeated” requests.
Medical evidence prevented further action, notwithstanding DCI Round’s belief that the CPS should pursue a manslaughter case.
According to Ms. Kearsley, three explanations have been put forth: first, that Falaq was punched; second, that she had experienced a coincidental medical crisis; and third, that the door to the restroom had struck her, causing her to stagger back and strike her skull.
Zabida Bebi, Falaq’s grandmother, was previously interrogated by Ms. Kearsley on her statements as a witness and the remarks she made in Punjabi that were audible during the 999 call.
