A teenager wept as she claimed she had been attacked by the man accused of murdering body-in-the-suitcase girl Terry Edmonds.

The girl said Bell terrified her just months before 17-year-old Terry was killed in a car park stairwell next to Tunbridge Wells railway station in April 2006.

She told a jury at Maidstone Crown Court the incident happened in the same stairwell.

She was aged 15 in July 2005 when she went with Bell to get some tobacco from Safeways by the car park. There was a queue and Bell said he had some tobacco where he was sleeping.

While there, she said, he asked if he could kiss her. “My answer was no,” she said. “He kept asking. Eventually, started to kiss my mouth and neck.

“I kept saying no. I asked him to stop. I asked him to get off. I was trying to move away. He swung me round onto his bedding so I was lying on my back.”

She sobbed: “I was feeling terrified. I could hardly move. He was over me on his hands and knees.

“He put his hand on top of my thigh. I was wearing a skirt. I had no tights on because it was really hot that day.

“I said: 'Get off. I won’t tell anyone.’ I said it constantly. He didn’t stop. We heard voices above. He told me to be quiet because they would hear us.

“He was still kissing my neck and mouth. He got off me. I was shaken up.”

The girl said she had kept a note of what happened in a diary produced in court.

“He started to apologise,” she said. “He asked me for a hug to say sorry. I said: 'No, I just want to go home.’ He kept asking me.

“I said: 'Fine, I will only give you a hug if I am by the fire exit.’ I was still scared. I gave him a hug so I could leave quicker.

“We then went out of the fire exit into the outside area. We walked out of the car park.”

The girl added: “I didn’t meet or speak to Philip Bell again. I didn’t want to see him.”

Bell, 23, of no fixed address, denies murder.

The trial continues.
