‘He had drunk a quantity of rum belonging to Mr Hatton.'
"Where's the rum gone?"
Mr Edwards added: ‘Police attended and a blood-stained tissue was found on a worktop.
‘The defendant had injured himself. [The blood] matched the profile of this defendant.'
"Here, end table! Hold my rum and watch this!"
