'Then he should have headed on with his friends - three of them - to Cambridge to join his classmates at a club bar for an after party.She said Kajetan had parked in Cutty's Lane close to the Holiday Inn. After the prom the four friends returned to the car to change from their prom suits into clothes more suitable for the bar in Cambridge. They intended to travel there by train.
