Warnock's Defence of Sexual Encounters With Lucy

Warnock told detectives he first noticed her when he took a pair of damaged Dr Martin Boots to be repaired at her father's shop. He said they started to meet up as friends when they would go for walks and sit on part benches to discuss their lives. Over time, their relationship deepened and Warnock claimed he had sex with her on about ten occasions. His legal team suggested that Lucy had brought home an older man for sexual encounters as a way of rebelling against her traditional Greek Cypriot upbringing. When asked how he didn't know about her murder from the newspapers and TV, he said that he only read the sports pages and there were only four TV channels at the time
