Kilburn mother was so ‘out-of-it’ she didn’t know killers of Sabrina Moss were hiding in her flat
A mum-of-two accused of hiding the killers of a nursery worker in her flat in Kilburn claims she was so ‘out-of-it’ she had no idea they were there, a court heard.
Fiona Cullum, 25, of Rowley Way, allegedly provided a safe haven for Hassan Hussain, 30, and Yassin James, 20, hours after they shot dead Sabrina Moss, 24, as she celebrated her birthday in Kilburn High Road in August 2013
The Old Bailey heard claims that Cullum also lied to officers when asked about the men after they were arrested.
Her barrister, Rebecca Randall said she had been drinking heavily and taking large amounts of drugs during that weekend so passed out on her bed and forgot to lock the door of her flat.
Ms Randall said: “It is at least a possibility that in this sort of state that Hussain entered ... and stayed there for however long, entirely without her knowledge.”
