This is an old revision of the document!
Testimony of: Rajinder Raj Singh BALU → statement PJ
states in testimony on Date 28 May 2007:
…Sometime between 19:45 and 20:00, Neil and I left the apartment and went to the Tapas restaurant. We ordered our food and had a drink whilst waiting for the food to arrive. We returned around 20:15-20:30. We returned the Berry apartment and all of us ate on the veranda. After 22:00 we were still sitting on the veranda in the Berry apartment. We heard noises downstairs and afterwards found out that a child had disappeared. My testimony dated 6th of May 2007 related the details of the conversation we overheard and the information regarding the paper that Neil and I used in the searches. I cannot add any more details save those which have already been given in this testimony.
In the Tapas-timeline first one, the Name Ella was twice written and then deleted: Ella.
It is interesting to note that CHARLOTTE PENNINGTON is missing from the nannies list! For more see: → PJ Files. It is also interesting to look at this Staff list → PJ-Files. Look at the 5th column. All employees have a number, but NOT Charlotte Pennington. Why is that?
There has been speculation that Charlotte came as a nanny to one of the Tapas 9. This cannot be substantiated. Charlotte lived in Howick, New Zealand from when she was 18 months old. Kate McCann worked in a hospital in Howick, New Zealand in 1996.
What was the reason for this fact? This could be crucial to the question regarding the last independent seeing of Maddie on 3rd of May. But I think there are more independent witnesses (e.g. C. Baker)?! Answer:
Question: Did Mary Smith (wife of Martin Smith) give a Statement to the PJ? It is not in the PJ files, but mention of her making a statement is mentioned here:
“Additional statement from Martin Smith 2008.01.30 (English)
Detective Branch Drogheda County Lough
Re – Investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
I took an additional statement from Mr Smith as requested. His wife does not want to make another statement.
