The two men had just finished prayers at the nearby mosque when they saw a horrifying sight - a young woman hanging from her fingertips from the ledge of a 20-floor tower block.
It emerged that Broadley, who had a string of previous convictions including assault to danger of life and robbery, sold heroin to Joanna and another street girl.A jury would later be told she had been violent towards Joanna and other girls who owed her money for drugs. One time he saw Joanna sitting on the floor, crying, with a cut to her face with Broadley calling her “a cow”.
One day as they were walking home, Broadley saw Joanna and confronted her in a tenement close after a chase and began threatening her. They spotted Joanna hanging from the window ledge with both hands and saw her letting herself go backwards and fall to the ground.The CCTV footage showed Joanna hitting the ground just after 2pm.Inspector James Steele told the jury that he later spoke to Broadley who seemed perfectly normal and said she hadn't heard or seen anything.She told him that Joanna had jumped out of the window and was dead.
In his summing up at the end of the trial, prosecutor Geoffrey Mitchell urged the jury to find Broadley guilty of murder."She wanted to get away from the vicious circle of heroin and was trying to avoid Broadley and dodging her. One thing was certain - Broadley had been in the flat when witnesses saw Joanna clinging by her fingertips from the window ledge before falling to her death.
