April Jones: Bridger 'Tried To Revive Her'

The man accused of murdering schoolgirl April Jones told police he "tried to revive her" after knocking her down with his car.

Jurors at Mold Crown Court heard a transcript of the answers Mark Bridger gave to detectives shortly after his arrest on October 2 last year.

He said: "I didn't abduct her. I did my best to revive her. I panicked. The more I drove through the night, the more I got p****d."

However, prosecutors claim there was no evidence of a collision involving Bridger's car and say there were no blood stains or signs of a clean-up inside the vehicle.

"I just wish I know what I've done with her, where I've put her," Bridger told police.

"I can't believe I didn't call the police or an ambulance. There was no life in her - no pulse, no breathing, no response in her eyes.

"She was just on the back seat. I tried to revive her. I did my best to revive her. I don't remember having her in the car when I went back."

Earlier, prosecutors said Bridger invited another girl to his house for a sleepover on the day April disappeared from the small Welsh town of Machnylleth.

He allegedly approached the girl - who was playing with a friend close to his daughter's primary school - shortly after attending a parents' evening on October 1.

The court also heard he was spotted on a hillside clutching a black bin bag the following day, as search teams scoured the area for missing April.

Bridger's movements were outlined on the second day of his trial at Mold Crown Court.

CCTV footage of the 47-year-old visiting council offices and a bank in Machnylleth on October 1 was played to the court.

Jurors were told Bridger spent part of the afternoon looking at dozens of images of a local teenager on Facebook.

They were also shown a text message he sent to his employer that day, which read: "Do you mind if I take today off to get my head around things? Sorry to let you down."

Helicopter footage from October 2 showed smoke rising from the chimney of Bridger's house.

He was filmed walking his dog and, the prosecution claims, had changed his appearance.

When he was arrested later that day, he is said to have told police: "I know what it's all about."

Officers who searched his home noticed the heat and the smell of detergent, the court heard.

Bridger, of Ceinws, denies abducting and murdering April, and unlawfully disposing of and concealing her body - which has never been found - with intent to pervert the course of justice.

The trial continues.
