One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked1flowers by the police. It was also said that she could2 a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in3the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible 4when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him5. Then she waited alone for three6while armed police prepared to 7the building.
She said, "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen
8 in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who 9in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and 10sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his11. 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, 64, 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 the12man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki
1315 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning14the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a15."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers16passages and staircases to the top floor room and17over 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,18I could see the passage. The police kept19at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he 20have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (帶上手銬)。
