After the Raid, the machinery of falsehood grew bold.
👩🦱 Bea stood as complainant, whispering to Thames Valley Police that she was in fear.
👨 Chris added his voice, inflaming suspicion with tales of stalking and menace.

The police, hearing lies, chose to treat them as truth.
Thus began the making of false witness.
And it was in those days that the tongues of neighbours became sharpened swords.
The woman said: “I am afraid of him,” yet she drew near to the MAN daily.
The man said: “He is a danger,” yet it was his own hand that struck first.
🐍 Lies were sown into paper, and paper into court.
But the lies were brittle, for they contradicted themselves.
