A WOMAN who helped accused murderers flee the crime scene said she didn't know there had been a murder, a court has heard.

On Friday, November 25 and Monday, November 28, a series of Kelsea Byrne's police interviews were read out during a trial at Winchester Crown Court by DC Emma Yeomans, with prosecutor Sarah Jones KC, replying as Byrne.

Ismaila Kamarra-Jarra, of Milton Close, Basingstoke; Je Daine Carty, 18, of Ferndown Close, Basingstoke; and Cohan Daley, 18, whose address cannot be given for legal reasons, have all been charged with the murder of Frantisek Olah on Sunday, May 22.

Mr Olah, 31, was found with serious injuries in Musgrave Close, Brighton Hill. He was later pronounced dead.

As previously reported, the three men allegedly fled the immediate scene of the murder with the help of their girlfriends Kaysha Saunders and Byrne. While Carty and Kamarra-Jarra fled to Oxford, Daley was later arrested in Southampton.

Saunders, 18, from Highfield Chase, Basingstoke, and Byrne, 18, from Warwick Road, Basingstoke, and Abbie Mills, 18, from Woburn Gardens, Basingstoke have been charged with assisting an offender. 

The court heard that Byrne drove Carty and Kamarra-Jarra to Oxford and Daley to London. 

During one of the interviews, she said she did not know there had been a murder.

She was asked by police if she questioned why she was giving Daley a lift.

She said: "No as she [Saunders] has given him lifts before, so I didn’t think anything of it at this point or know where we were going.”

When asked whether she knew about a murder, she said "not at the time but it makes sense now."

The court also heard that Saunders had picked three men up believed to be Kamarra-Jarra, Carty and Daley before they were taken away from Basingstoke.

During Byrne's interview, she said she also believed Saunders had no idea about the murder.

The court also heard Byrne was scared about the situation. She was asked by officers whether anyone had "a hold on her".

She added: "No one has a hold over me but I am scared about what I say.

"I have never been in this situation and I am scared myself and I understand this is really serious and I didn't know."

Byrne was paid £100 for the Oxford lift and £50 for the trip to London.

The trial continues.
