Ibrahim Ali trial: B.C. jury hears testimony on teen victim’s autopsy | Globalnews.ca

Dr. Stephen Yip, a neuropathologist, took the stand for the first time, where he described examining the victim's brain during the autopsy.
globalnews.ca globalnews.ca

May 9, 2023
Jurors in a B.C. courtroom heard Tuesday from a doctor who took part in the autopsy of a teen girl murdered nearly six years ago.
[.....]
Dr. Stephen Yip, a neuropathologist, took the stand for the first time, where he described examining the victim’s brain during the autopsy.
[.....]
But he testified that during a subsequent examination two weeks later he was able to conclude the injury to her brain was consistent with hypoxic ischemia — the result of a lack of blood flow and oxygen.

The jury heard that the girl was likely still alive, but unconscious for between 30 minutes to an hour after the blood flow was cut off.

However, Yip testified he was not able to say exactly what the victim’s cause of death was.

"Ali’s lawyer Kevin McCullough asked Urmson if he ever considered if there could have been consensual sexual activity. He said he had not."

So it seems the defense is going to be that the sex was consensual but it could have been the random homeless man who did the actual killing?

The defendants DNA being found inside the victim and the way in which the body was left is very damming and solely points to the accused.

Forensic pathologist testifies about injuries suffered by 13-year-old murder victim

A forensic pathologist testifying in the trial of a man accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl in Burnaby, B.C., says she died by strangulation.
bc.ctvnews.ca bc.ctvnews.ca

Mary 16, 2023

Warning: This story contains graphic details some readers may find upsetting.


The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy on a 13-year-old girl found dead in Burnaby’s Central Park in July 2017 testified in the first-degree murder trial of Ibrahim Ali on Monday.


Dr. Jason Morin told the jury he began by examining the victim's clothing.
[.....]
While examining the body, Morin described finding evidence of an injury common in strangulation cases.

“They’re called petechial hemorrhages, which is a fancy medical term for a small pinpoint hemorrhage. So, that was on skin of the face, underneath the chin as well as in the eyes,” he said.

The forensic pathologist was asked if he had determined a cause of death during the autopsy. He said the victim died of strangulation, adding “there had been some sort of compression on the neck.”

Injuries suffered by 13-year-old B.C. murder victim detailed by pathologist

A forensic pathologist testifying in the trial of a man accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl in Burnaby, B.C., says the victim sustained “blunt force” scalp and head injuries before she died.
bc.ctvnews.ca bc.ctvnews.ca
''Tuesday he told the court he didn’t actually find any finger marks on the girl’s neck.
Crown prosecutor Isobelle Keeley asked Morin if that was unusual, he said it is, but that it still happens.
“Certainly strangulations whether manual or ligature strangulations, can occur without there being any external evidence of injury,” Morin said.''

''Morin says the victim, who cannot be identified due to a publication ban, also sustained “blunt force” scalp and head injuries before she died''.

Pathologist continues testimony at Ibrahim Ali murder trial

Jury hears disturbing details about injuries to the 13-year-old victim.
www.burnabynow.com www.burnabynow.com
Cornelia Naylor

''Penetrative blunt force' caused injuries​

“Do you have an opinion on whether the vaginal injury would have caused pain?” Crown prosecutor Isobel Keeley asked Morin, after taking him and the jury through a series of autopsy photos while the pathologist explained tears and blood he found.

Before Morin could answer, defence lawyer Ben Lynskey raised an objection, saying vaginal pain was not an area the doctor was qualified to give evidence about.

“I’m making an assumption that I don’t think the doctor has a vagina,” Lynskey said.''
Keeley reframed her questions.

Morin’s testimony Tuesday included more details about injuries to the victim’s vagina, anus and rectum, which he said were likely caused by a “penetrative blunt force.”

A “moderately large” bruise to the inside of the rectum was the most serious, according to Morin.

‘It’s not something that could be done accidentally’''​

''Because there were no obvious injuries to the girl’s neck, Morin said he couldn’t say whether she had been strangled by someone’s hands or a ligature of some kind.

To cause death, Morin said a person wouldn’t have to “squeeze as hard as possible” but apply a “moderately consistent, sustained pressure” to the neck.''

''Morin said it takes about 10 to 20 seconds for a person being strangled to lose consciousness and two to five minutes to reach a point of no return after which medical intervention won’t save them.''
