Very Modern Prosecution 

In the Liverpool Crown Court, the jury heard about all the events in the weeks before she died in Dale’s voice recordings. A large number of them were placed in evidence and played to the jury.

Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings described the impact.  “For me, as a senior investigating officer, this was the most compelling and emotional part of the case.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen the evidence of the murder victim play such a crucial role in a court case.

“Ashley was narrating her own story and events that led to her death.

“There was barely a dry eye in the courtroom as her increased fear and anxiety was played out through recovered voice notes from her phone,” she added.

Cummings explained how through hundreds of voice recordings recovered from her phone the murder victim told her own story and brought her killers to justice.
