The doctor said the woman received numerous "blunt force injuries," possibly delivered by a fist or a foot, to her head, neck, chest and legs. Her skull was fractured in four places.

Indicating a diagram on which 21 stab wounds were marked and numbered, the doctor said they included three stab wounds to the throat, 15 to the chest and three to the pubic area. Sellers said her examination indicated the woman's wrists were tied before she died. The doctor said a deep wound in the throat would have prevented her from crying out. Cross-examined by associate defence lawyer James Bahen, Sellers said she was unable to say if the killer made a deliberate effort to mutilate the woman's breasts. The trial was adjourned to Archbishop James Carney.
