She assured officers "it's all alright" but due to the tone of the voice two officers were sent to her home near Maguiresbridge. When the officers arrived at the house they found Mr Gallagher, who has Down's syndrome, coming out of the house with a stab wound near his stomach. A wallet containing Phair's driving licence was found during a search of his clothing, said the detective.'Killer's mindset was apparent'Data collected from Ms Leonard's phone showed evidence that Phair was consistently trying to contact her, the detective told the inquest.
