Overview
- Adelaide Armstrong told the court she found a black phone in Castleton Park on June 22, took it home to charge, saw missed calls from a contact listed as “Mum,” and then tried to reach that number before contacting police.
- Armstrong said the phone’s screen was broken and that it was located four to five feet inside the park near railings, noting it was possible the device had been thrown.
- A resident testified she heard a high-pitched scream after midnight on June 21, and another said she was woken around 3am by someone trying her back door handle, though neither saw who was responsible.
- Earlier evidence from Northwood Road residents included sightings of a black bike on its side and a black helmet the next day, with Chris Morrow alerting police after seeing social media appeals and confirming his presence on local CCTV.
- Other residents described finding a navy jacket, a blue hoodie and dark trainers with a bright Nike tick in the area, adding to the items documented as the jury assesses Noah’s last movements and the established post-mortem finding of drowning.
