The man accused of shooting Jeremiah Dill told police he loved the victim and his family, but had not spoken to him since “the war” between Parkside and 42 began.Noet Barnett is godfather to Mr Dill’s daughter, and was in a relationship with the victim’s sister at the time of the attack on Parsons Road, Pembroke, on October 4 2010.Although a female eyewitness told police she recognised Mr Barnett as the gunman, Mr Dill told the jury yesterday that he did not recognise the shooter who left him with multiple wounds (see main story.)Following Mr Dill’s evidence, the jury watched a videotaped police interview conducted with Mr Barnett on January 14 2011 after he was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.Mr Barnett, who denies the accusation, told detectives that while he is godfather to Mr Dill’s daughter he had not seen him “in a long time”. He added: “Before the war started, we would hang together.”Asked by Detective Constable Llewellyn Edwards what he was talking about, he replied that he meant the war between 42 and Parkside.“Since it started he doesn’t hang around with me; doesn’t call me,” explained Mr Barnett, who added that he had “no beef at all,” with Mr Dill.He revealed that Mr Dill’s sister, Tookie Binns, was his girlfriend of two years at the time of the interview and “we get along nice”. He described Mr Dill as a “good guy,” and said of the Dill family: “I love them”.On Tuesday, the jury heard from prosecutor Rory Field that while Mr Dill and Mr Barnett used to be friends, “they were on either side of a serious dispute which was going on,” at the time of the crime.The shooting took place around 10am. Asked about his movements that morning, Mr Barnett said he travelled to the Fairmont Southampton hotel for a job interview to be a kitchen porter, which was scheduled for 10am to 10.30am.He explained that he caught the 9.50am number five “Pond Hill” bus from near his home to Hamilton then changed on to the number seven bus at 10.20am which took him along the South Shore to the hotel. After his interview, which he was late arriving to, he boarded a number eight bus back along Middle Road to Hamilton, where he caught the 11.20am bus home.He denied a suggestion from Detective Constable Rohan Henry that his account of the timings “doesn’t make sense”.Mr Barnett explained he lives with his mother but she was not home when he left that morning or when he headed home after his interview to get changed.After that, he said, he headed to East Gate Lane, Pembroke, to visit his cousin Kenneth. He played PlayStation there until around 7.30pm then went home to bed.During the wide-ranging interview, Mr Barnett was asked by Det Con Edwards about his unusual first name. He explained it is spelled Noet on his birth certificate but he only found out that was his real name when he got older. He told the officers his friends called him Noel when he was growing up, so he tended to use that name.When Jeremiah Dill was questioned by defence lawyer Victoria Pearman during his evidence, he agreed with her that Mr Barnett has a “very unique,” way of talking. He went on to explain: “He’s got bass in his voice, and certain words he stutters”.During Mr Barnett’s interview, Detective Constable Llewellyn Edwards observed that he spoke in a low voice and through his teeth, and instructed him to speak up.Mr Barnett denies attempted murder, using a firearm to commit that crime and handling a firearm, and the case continues.
