Llanelli: Murder accused thought he was being ‘scammed’ – court

During a later interview, the court heard DC Gouldson asked Mr Jones what happened on the day of Ms Evans’ death, to which Mr Jones replied: “My head went over this scam.”

Asked what happened, he said: “I can’t really remember about it all, I was erratic.”

He told officers he remembered going to Ms Evans’ house to look at drains at the property, and she answered the door in a towel, having come out of the shower.

The court was told Mr Jones said he started talking about the “scam” to Ms Evans.

During the police interview Mr Jones said he “lost his head”, when Ms Evans said “nothing” about it.

“She said it wasn’t my idea, it was Jamie’s,” he told DC Gouldson.

The court heard Mr Jones said he banged his hand on the kitchen island, and when asked why, he said: “My temper I think.”

“I lost my rag didn’t I?,” he added.

Mr Jones then said he did not remember anything except being “down the country park” hours later.

The court heard Mr Jones told officers during the interview he sometimes suffers from memory “blackouts”.

Asked about injuries to Ms Evans’ body and whether Mr Jones caused them, he replied, “I don’t think so”.

Told it seemed “impossible” that someone else could have caused Ms Evans’ injuries, he said “it seems it”, the court heard.

The trial continues.
