Jurors at a Burnaby murder trial were faced with a series of pictures of the half-naked body of a 13-year-old girl found dead in a Burnaby park six years ago.
The photo, taken while it was still “pitch” dark, according to Toa, showed the victim on her back, her arms extended out, palms up, with her left arm bent at the elbow about 90 degrees. What “stood out” to Toa, he said, was that it appeared only the right half of the victim’s underwear had been pulled on properly.
There was also an unknown substance in the victim’s hair and one of her ears, but a forensic light exam at the scene didn’t indicate the presence of bodily fluids, such has semen or saliva, according to Toa.
