‘It was like a shriek... it struck me as very odd’

PAULINE FRASIER said a high-pitched scream woke her up at 9.30am that Monday morning.

“It was like a shriek,” she said, adding that it sounded like a woman. “It struck me as very odd. It’s a very quiet road.” She looked at her watch and it was 9.30am.

“About 30 seconds later it happened again,” she said. “It was very unusual. I thought there was someone in trouble. It would have struck you as though something had happened to somebody.”
