Yesterday, the woman, who was given name suppression, said Fallowfield and Reedy came to lunch at her Tuatapere home on the way to Te Anau on the day Reedy died. At 4.53pm the same day, the woman received a call from Fallowfield in Te Anau who told her Reedy was dead. Fallowfield then told her he would drive back to her house in Tuatapere and hand himself in. He told Kennelly that Reedy was a schizophrenic who had made a previous false claim about him raping her and as a result a non-association order was issued.
