According to Zarifeh, after the brief relationship between Ross and Fisher came to an end, the pair did not get on well at all. They developed an intense dislike for one another and this resulted in heated and bitter arguments between. During at least two of these arguments, the police had to be called.
A friend of Ross who also lived in the same apartment block, Stuart Parker, took part in verbally abusing Fisher, and she frequently retaliated.
Marsh was a good friend of Fisher and often visited her at the housing complex. He often witnessed the fights between her and Ross and Parker.
