Marissa was a sub -postmistress who admitted that she had inflated the cash on hand figure to balance the overall figures, saying that she might have thrown away £25,000 in cash with the rubbish. She had piled money intended for the ATM on the floor when a bin bag had split causing rubbish to spill out of it. The rubbish and the ATM money became intermingled on the floor so that the money was accidentally thrown away with the rubbish.
