Britt Lapthorne was captured on video nine hours before she died in the company of two young men in the Tommy shopping centre in Dubrovnik, the Jutarnji list daily reported. 

The subsequent viewing of cameras from the shopping centre established that the 21-year-old Australian went to Tommy on September 17, 2008 at around 18:35 hours.

The footage shows Britt, wearing a dark-blue t-shirt and shorts, paying for drinks and food on register number 3. She was in the company of two young men, one in Bermuda shorts and a blue t-shirt who was with Britt the whole time, after which the second young man joined them, wearing grey Bermuda shorts and a blue and white striped shirt.

The three left Tommy together, engaged in a conversation. After that, Britt was last seen in Dubrovnik’s “Fuego” night club at around 3:30 am. Unofficial sources reveal that the tape was discovered after police started a more detained reconstruction of Britt’s movements, which included a detailed viewing of surveillance tapes of all facilities next to her apartment and the location where people say is the last place they saw her.

Also, police divers again began searching the sea at the location where Britt’s body had been found in early October. But a gale-force southerly wind disrupted any further investigation and the divers, who did not find any new evidence up to that point, were forced to give up from further actions.
