John McDonnell (Cont'd)

“I can remember the police standing John up and asking him whether he was alright, John mumbled something like ‘alright’. They took John out, and as they were going they said that they were taking him to Scarborough and I thought they meant the hospital. We were in a hurry to get dressed so that we could follow them to the hospital and did not notice whether John was in the ambulance or the police vehicle.

“We arrived at the hospital within 20 minutes to half an hour later but John was not there. We expected him to be having treatment. We waited there while Annie had treatment to her eye.

“At about 3am Sunday morning two police sergeants arrived and informed us that John had been taken to the police station and had passed away there”.
