One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked 21 flowers by the police. It was also said that she could 22___ a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in 23 the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible 24 when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him 25 . Then she waited alone for three 26 while armed police prepared to 27 the building.
She said, 'I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen
28 in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who 29 in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and 30 sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his 31 . She said, 'He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact.' Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, , and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the 32 man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki
33 15 minutes.
'It was about ten past two in the morning 34 the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a 35 .'
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers 36 passages and staircases to the top floor room and 37 over the key.
'I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, 38 I could see the passage. The police kept 39 at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he 40 have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐)。
