Murder accused gives final evidence

by isleofman.com 2nd April 2015

The prosecution has said a man accused of murder knew his alleged victim was dead when he called 999.
Ian Anderson, who's 46, denies murdering 60-year-old Neil Roberts from Ballabeg in late 2013.
Police found Mr Roberts's body at Mr and Mrs Anderson's former home in Queen Street, Castletown.
Today, Linda Watts for the prosecution, finished her cross-examination of Mr Anderson at Douglas Courthouse.
Mrs Watts put it to Mr Anderson on the night of the alleged murder he delayed calling 999, which Mr Anderson denied.
Mrs Watts referred to the call and quoted Mr Anderson saying "it's not an emergency" - she asked him if he didn't think it was an emergency because he knew Mr Roberts was already dead.
Mr Anderson said no, he didn't remember what he said on the phone because he was dazed and confused.
Mrs Watts also asked Mr Anderson if he thought anyone else was responsible for killing Mr Roberts. He answered "I'm not saying anything of the sort".
Mr Anderson has finished giving evidence. The trial continues at Douglas Courthouse on Tuesday (April 7).
