• A black cardigan with black beads around the shoulder and neck. This was worn under the blue cardigan
• A pink cardigan with gold and pick buttons and a long collar. This was also worn under the blue cardigan, although it is not stated whether this was also under the black cardigan

She also wore a knee length black skirt with a ‘Jaeger’ label.

She was wearing a gold band type ring and also had in her possession a packet of paracetamol tablets purchased from Superdrug and an ‘After Curry’ mint with the word ‘Kansaras’ on it.
