Before 2012, all police forces could send exhibits that needed storing or analysing to the service, but the government-owned company was closed that year after making large losses.Since then, police forces have had to make their own evidence storage arrangements and contract private providers for forensic services.Prof McCartney said she had witnessed an officer pull out what he called a "box of horrors" from underneath a desk which contained various pieces of un-catalogued evidence including a plastic bag with a broken wine bottle in it and a car numberplate.

"It was a door I was unable to shut for the rest of the relationship. There was so much of it after, and it was too much."

Jane testified that she went along with additional encounters because "I just really loved him at that point and wanted to make him happy." But she also said "many times" that she had told Mr Combs she did not want to engage in these "hotel nights."But Mr Combs asked her to participate in several more "hotel nights" and she "felt frustrated, I felt just obligated" to go along with his wishes, she told the court.
