Meat again. Not quite in the volumes of some previous statements, but still, a theme that continues to disconcert. First point to make is that I believe [[Goodall, Craig|Mr. Goodall]] gave us a fake name and details when making his statement, as neither myself nor [[Not-Them|Sasha]] have been able to find any record of him to follow up, certainly none that match [[Blackwood, Martin|Martin]]’s admittedly vague recollections about the man. [[Stoker, Timothy|Tim]] has confirmed the [[2009-09-27|27th of September 2009]] as the date of the fire that destroyed the takeaway in question, which was registered as “[[Waltham Express Grill]]”, but can find no record of anything out of the ordinary about the fire, which was put down to unknown local vandals. We’ve also been unable to find anything on a teenager being picked up for trespass on that property, though that’s not a particular surprise.
I’ve had [[Blackwood, Martin|Martin]] looking into the case of [[Haan, John|John Haan]], though it’s slow going, as whenever there’s a picture he ends up needing to take a breath of fresh air. Apparently, [[Haan, John|Haan]] was second-generation British Chinese, marrying his wife [[Haan, Lanying|Lanying]] shortly after she arrived in the country, and setting up [[Waltham Express Grill]]. He seems to have been utterly normal, according to the testimony of his former employees.
What [[Blackwood, Martin|Martin]] did find, is that according to the coroner there was a noticeable lack of defensive wounds on what remained of [[Haan, Lanying|Lanying]]’s body, and some of the injuries seemed like they might have been self-inflicted. From my perspective, however, what is more interesting is that six months before his arrest, [[Haan, John|John Haan]] let the last of his staff go and replaced them with a nephew of his who had recently moved over from [[China]].
The nephew’s name was [[Haan, Thomas|Haan Tao]], although upon moving to this country he took the name ‘[[Haan, Thomas|Tom Haan]]’. I’ve checked, and this is the same [[Haan, Thomas|Tom Haan]] who was employed at the [[Dalston]] meat processing plant from late [[2009-11-01 - 2013-12-31|2009 until his disappearance in 2013]].
I doubt this is the last we hear of him and his strange relationship with meat.
End recording.
