A court was told a woman claimed murder accused Thomas Cashman came to her house after Olivia Pratt-Korbel was killed and asked her for a change of clothes.
The woman saw the news about Olivia's death the following morning. A court was told how she "only managed to put the pieces together" when she saw a newspaper article which referred to Joseph Nee, at which stage she "realised who he was and how it was connected to events" of August 22.
The court was told she said: "I broke down, like I physically can’t. I can’t like keep this away, I can’t. I physically couldn’t, I just couldn’t do it. Basically I couldn’t protect him."
