A PROSTITUTE told a friend she feared she was going to be shot after she had spoken to police about the murder of Brendon Lawrence. The woman, who had the nickname "Bubbles", said she had "told them everything" and that she was frightened something was going to happen to her.
The gun used to murder 16-year-old Brendon, from Sherwin Walk, St Ann's, was allegedly hidden under a bed at the prostitute's flat after the murder in February 2002.
