Stephanie Bon

Following the break up of our relationship Simon did collect all his belongings.

Excerpt from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002

Again, it is still not known on what date exactly Simon Hall collected “all his belongings” from Stephanie Bon’s home in Colchester, Essex.

Lynne Hall
Phil Hall

Where Did Simon Hall Sleep On Friday 14th December 2001?

Is is also still not known where Simon Hall slept on the night of Friday the 14th and where exactly Matt (Matthew) W picked Simon up from to go and collect his new Audi motor vehicle, which Simon had been to view with his girlfriend Stephanie Bon “the previous Wednesday the 12th December at a garage known as Haverhill Kar Khange”.

Killer Simon Hall stated;

Having seen the car on that day I had agreed to purchase it and collect it the following Saturday the 15th.

I could not have collected it on the Wednesday as Stephanie does not drive and whoever took me over to pick up the car needed to be able to drive themselves back

Excerpts from pages 1 and 2 of Simon Hall’s Proof of evidence statement

Matt W confirmed he had picked Simon Hall up on the morning of Saturday the 15th December, in order for them to collect Simon’s new Audi motor vehicle.

Simon Hall had already paid for the car on the Wednesday, when he viewed it with Stephanie Bon.

However Matt W did not mention in his statement where exactly he picked Simon up from ie; Simon’s adoptive parents Lynne and Phil Hall’s home in Capel St Mary or his girlfriend Stephanie Bon’s home in Colchester – or somewhere else.

Christmas Fairy Lights

Lynne Hall told Suffolk police that Joan Albert had bought Lynne some Christmas fairy lights, although it’s not clear based on Lynne’s statement on what date exactly Lynne collected the Christmas lights.

It is also not clear from Lynne Hall’s police statement on what date her adoptive son Simon had allegedly “put them up in the bush outside” Lynne’s kitchen window, or if he ever really did.

Lynne Hall stated;

I remember that Joan bought me some Christmas fairy lights from the Co-op in Capel, she actually paid for them and told me that I had to collect them.

I collected them and Simon put them up in the bush outside my kitchen window

Excerpt from Lynne Hall’s police witness statement dated the 25th of July 2002
Example of outdoor Christmas fairy lights

Two days after her adoptive sons murder of Joan Albert, referring to the Friday evening (14th of December) Lynne Hall stated to Suffolk police;

The last time I actually saw Joan was on Friday evening, the fourteenth of December.

I waved to her at about 8.10am as I went to work to catch the bus.

I always used to check that she was up and Rusty was in the window.

I came home after work. I got the 5.40, number 93 bus, from the Buttermarket in Ipswich.

That usually gets me into the village at between 6.15 and 6.20pm.

I was already carrying shopping. My own and some that I had done for her. I also had Phil’s Christmas present.

It was a device that turned a bath into a spa bath.

I got off the bus and went into the Co-op and got a few items. I then went straight to Joan’s.

I was feeling ill just starting to come down with a bug.

I popped in intending to be quick, it was not usual for me to go in if I did not take Rusty out because he would get so excited.

We talked about the Christmas lights that she had bought me from the Co-op because some of them were not working.

Joan actually phoned me not long after I got home, it takes me maybe 5 minutes to get back.

All she actually wanted to know was if I Simon (sic), our son, had checked the lights.

Excerpt’s from Lynne Hall’s police witness statement dated Tuesday the 18th December 2001 (Read more excerpts in Part 4 here)

Although Lynne Hall mentioned the Christmas lights to the police, along with Simon’s name, Lynne did not actually state she had seen Simon on the Friday night or whether or not there were any plans for Lynne to see Simon that night.

Plus Lynne Hall only mentioned seeing her husband Phil Hall who had allegedly had a work colleague of his with him when Lynne got back home from visiting Joan Albert.

Lynne Hall stated;

Phil was at home with a colleague and he left just after 6.50pm and I had not even taken my coat off

Excerpt from Lynne Hall’s police witness statement dated Tuesday the 18th December 2001

Argument Over Christmas Meal At Stoke Rochford

It is therefore not clear whether or not Simon and his then girlfriend Stephanie Bon (and Lynne and Phil Hall) had argued on the Friday about there allegedly not being “enough room at the table”, at the pre arranged Christmas family meal up in Lincolnshire.

Stoke Rochford Hall, Grantham, Lincolnshire

It is also not known on what date exactly Stephanie Bon questioned “whether the relationship was worth continuing with”, as Stephanie had stated to the police.

Also not known is if the real reason for Stephanie Bon to question whether or not her relationship with Simon Hall was “worth continuing with” was due to Stephanie not being able to attend the family Christmas meal at Stoke Rochford, or if it was because of something else.

Shaun Hall older brother of Simon Hall

Unless Stephanie Bon had learned after all that there was “enough room at the table” because Shaun Hall and his girlfriend Leigh had pulled out at the last minute following “an argument”, due to their son having only recently been released from hospital.

Shaun Hall told police;

During the weekend of the 15th, 16th December 2001 I recall working overtime at my place of employment from about 8am – 1pm on Saturday 15th December 2001

I further recall having an argument with my girlfriend Leigh when I got home, in relation to a planned family visit to Lincolnshire the next day. Leigh and X were due to travel with my parents, Simon and I for a family reunion with my mothers side of the family

However X was ill and Leigh was refusing to let him travel as a result of this

I was upset about this, as my mothers parents had not seen X before

Excerpts from Shaun Hall’s police witness statement dated 25th July 2002

And Leigh, Shaun Hall’s then girlfriend, told the police;

Further to my previous statement I wish to add that on Saturday the 15th of December 2001, I believe I remained at my parents address of (redacted) with my young son X who had been quite ill and only released from hospital on the previous Thursday.

On 16th December 2001, we were all meant to be attending a large family meal but, due to X being ill, Shaun and I remained at home

Excerpt’s from Leigh Marshall’s police witness statement dated 27th August 2002

Although this still would not explain why Stephanie Bon would have questioned “whether the relationship was worth continuing with” because according to Stephanie Bon’s police statement, it was Lynne Hall who lied about there not being “enough room at the table”, not Simon.

Although it is possible Simon Hall had never asked Lynne about bringing his girlfriend along.

Again Stephanie Bon’s evidence was;

On Saturday the 15th of December 2001 I remember being at home in Colchester with my brother and old flat mate, Lionel *****, who lived at the house for a year.

We remained in all night and I clearly remember this time, as I was meant to be going to a family meal the following day.

On the Sunday Simon was off for a meal with relatives and asked me to go along as well. I instantly agreed, looking forward to meeting the rest of the family but, unfortunately Simon did not get around to asking his mum until it was too late.

By the time Simon asked Lynne, there was not enough room at the table and I was unable to go along

This had annoyed me and I remember questioning whether the relationship was worth continuing with.

I believe Simon said he was going out with some friends on the Saturday night, although I am not sure

Killer Simon Hall: Bristol University’s Michael Naughton Aka Empowering The Innocent, Collusion, Dishonesty, Phoebe Grant, Flowers & Chocolates, The Missing “Larey Or Loud” Black Shirt With Red Splashes & More Questions For Stephanie Bon & Adoptive Parents Lynne & Phil Hall – Part 19c©️

Lynne Hall
Phil Hall

25th July 2002

On the day of their adoptive killer sons arrest, while he was in police custody Simon Hall stated during his 1st interview (Read more on page 30 here) that Stephanie Bon had been his girlfriend prior to Phoebe Grant;

When the police asked him about the night before his murder of Joan Albert and whether or not he planned “to come home after the evening out”, killer Simon Hall indicated to police he was “a single man” by this point and also stated “you don’t know where you’re going to end up” (Read more on page 15 here);

Killer Simon Hall also stated;

Mum had said she wanted me back at some point because we were going out the next day

Simon Hall – 26th of July 2002

Lynne Hall told police;

Simon told me at some stage that Saturday that he was going out and would probably not be back that night

I told him to be back because we were leaving early

I wanted him home at five or six am as I wanted to make sure he was okay and dressed properly

Lynne Hall – 25th July 2002

As previously stated, the only time Lynne Hall could have seen her adoptive son Simon on that Saturday was approximately during 6.00pm-7.00pm, and Lynne Hall’s statement of wanting Simon “home at five or six am” did not, and does not, ring true.

Phil Hall told police;

I don’t know when Simon left the house or even if I saw him at all that day.

I do not know what he was wearing that day at all.

I recall that Lynne had asked Simon to make sure he was back in time to leave for Stoke Rochford

Phil Hall – 25th July 2002

Not unlike his wife Lynne Hall’s ludicrous statement of wanting Simon “home at five or six” in the morning, Phil Hall’s equally ludicrous statement of “I don’t know when Simon left the house or if I saw him at all that day” was cancelled out by the fact Phil Hall had then went on to state he recalled that his wife “Lynne had asked Simon to make sure he was back in time to leave for Stoke Rochford”.

It is not known if Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall colluded with one another prior to Simon’s arrest regarding what they would each tell Suffolk police.

However when the Hall families evidence and various types of lies, contradictions and concoctions were, and are, viewed in there entirety, there is no getting away from the fact they were not being honest.

Simon, Lynne, Phil and Shaun Hall all behaved like they had something to hide.

Questions For Stephanie Bon

It is not known exactly when Simon Hall became “a single man” and Simon’s statement to the police does not appear to have been his girlfriend Stephanie Bon’s understanding or belief at the time.

Stephanie Bon stated around 5 weeks after killer Simon Hall’s arrest;

Around October 2001, Simon and I became an item.

He used to stay at my house in Colchester, regularly, as it was so much more convenient for work.

Over time he left various items at my house, so he (sic) changes of clothes and wash things.

I would describe our relationship as generally good, we did argue occasionally, but nothing significant.

Simon was a kind and funny person and hated arguing

After a few weeks of being together, Simon introduced me to his parents Lynn and Phil. Lynn was really friendly, and it was obvious she thought highly of Simon.

Phil always chatted to me too, I think they saw something quite serious in me and we all got on so well

On Saturday the 15th of December 2001 I remember being at home in Colchester with my brother and old flat mate, Lionel *****, who lived at the house for a year.

We remained in all night and I clearly remember this time, as I was meant to be going to a family meal the following day.

On the Sunday Simon was off for a meal with relatives and asked me to go along as well.

I instantly agreed, looking forward to meeting the rest of the family but, unfortunately Simon did not get around to asking his mum until it was too late.

By the time Simon asked Lynne, there was not enough room at the table and I was unable to go along

This had annoyed me and I remember questioning whether the relationship was worth continuing with.

I believe Simon said he was going out with some friends on the Saturday night, although I am not sure

Simon was very close to his mum, and I think he was quite worried about how she would cope, as I believe she was on anti depressants prior to the murder.

He talked about the incident, but mainly about concern for his mum

We began to visit his parents quite regularly, taking over flowers and chocolates and checking up on his mum.

Simon was quite emotional person (sic) and seemed upset by the incident, which I would expect him to be

I didn’t notice any dramatic change in Simon after the murder.

He was obviously upset, shocked and concerned for his mother but this did not seem out of the ordinary.

He was still himself and there wasn’t any clothing that he suddenly stopped wearing.

Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002

Stephanie Bon did not give any indication to the police that her and Simon had split up by the day before Simon Hall committed his murder of Joan Albert.

The Missing “Larey Or Loud” Black Shirt With Red Splashes

It is not known if Stephanie Bon has given any more thought to what may have led Simon Hall to state he was “a single man” by Saturday the 15th of December 2001, nor is it known if Stephanie Bon has given any more thought to Simon Hall’s missing black and red shirt.

Nicola (Laura T’s friend) appeared to have been the only witness to have mentioned the “larey or loud shirt which was black with red splashes over it” previously owned and worn by killer Simon Hall;

I do recall laughing at Simons shirt which was black with red splashes over it

It was a ’bit larey’ or loud

Excerpts from Laura T’s friend Nicola’s police witness statement dated 27th August 2002

Because Phil Hall seemingly chose to pretend to not have seen what his adoptive son Simon Hall was wearing before he left 8 Snowcroft to go out for the night.

And Lynne Hall blatantly lied about what Simon was wearing when he arrived at their home at 6.30am the following morning.

Suffolk police would not have known that Simon Hall was wearing his “larey shirt which was black with red splashes over it” and therefore would not have been able to ask Stephanie Bon if Simon “had suddenly stopped wearing it”.

It is also not known if Stephanie Bon would have been honest with the police even if she had realised Simon had stopped wearing his black and red shirt.

Especially given the fact Stephanie Bon also chose to lie by omission about the stolen CD players from the Zenith Windows burglary.

Stephanie Bon also told the police;

Following the break up of our relationship Simon did collect all his belongings

The only item I still have is a blue and white long sleeved work shirt

Excerpts from Stephanie Bon’s police witness statement dated 4th September 2002

It is also not known if killer Simon Hall collected “all his belongings” prior to his murder of Joan Albert, when Stephanie Bon had told police she was “annoyed” after being told “there was not enough room at the table” and she was “questioning whether the relationship was worth continuing”, or if Simon Hall had collected them sometime after Christmas 2001.
