STATEMENT

Name: Anoushka Broncia LECH

STATES:

My name is Anoushka Broncia LECH and I am 17 years old and I live at 224 Chaucer Street, East Camberwell. I am making this statement with my mother Broncia LECH present on this the 16th day of May. I am a Year 11 student at Balwyn Girls Grammar. On Monday 2nd May I was with my schoolfriend Alberta Jane BYRON. I had stayed at her house on Sunday night in Cotham Road, Balwyn, and we went to sleep around 11pm. Bertie and I were driven to school on Monday morning by Bertie’s mum who was on her way to work. After school that day I went straight home.

I do not know Terry BARNES personally, but I know who he is because he makes fake ID cards. He made one for Bertie about six months ago and I went with her to collect it. I can’t remember exactly where Terry’s flat was, but it was one of those two-storey orange brick blocks with stairs on the outside. Terry was pretty friendly and joked around a bit with Bertie and then he gave her the ID card and she paid and we left. On the way home Bertie got a text from Terry saying, ‘I like your friend’. We just laughed because he seemed like a bit of a stoner. About a week later I got a friend request on Facebook from Terry, but I ignored it. I looked at his friends list and they all looked like stoners too. Bertie was on his friends list though, because she’s friends with anyone on Facebook. About a week after I ignored his request, he messaged and asked if I wanted to hook up sometime, so I blocked him. I convinced Bertie to block him too. I don’t know Terry BARNES. I never went to his house. I never heard from him again.

I hereby acknowledge that this statement is true and correct and I make it in the belief that a person making a false statement in the circumstances is liable to the penalties of perjury.
