suspected items were analyzed,
00:06 - 00:10
suspected items were analyzed to help better investigate the scene.
00:11 - 00:14
Two knives were seized from pizzas home and were believed to
00:14 - 00:17
be the weapons used to initiate the injuries to deceased.
00:18 - 00:21
The first knife was a 32cm long pointed knife.
00:21 - 00:25
By measuring the ratio of height and width of the knife. From the picture presented,
00:25 - 00:29
we reduced the width of the knife was about 4cm.
00:29 - 00:33
However, no recorded DNA profile was available for this knife
00:34 - 00:35
based on the blade,
00:36 - 00:38
based on the blade of the knife and the shape of injuries.
00:39 - 00:42
We concluded the pointed knife should be responsible for the following injuries
00:43 - 00:47
firstly, according to dr bach's video on injuries
00:47 - 00:50
established likely caused by a pointed sharp weapon
00:50 - 00:55
as the other suspected weapon. The melon knife was flat on its edges.
00:55 - 00:58
We suspected pointed knife could have caused an injury one.
00:59 - 01:02
This theory is also supported by the shape of the stab wound.
01:03 - 01:04
The knife was single bladed,
01:04 - 01:07
indicating when it was stabbed into the body.
01:07 - 01:09
The edges of the wounds were not similar.
01:10 - 01:12
The sharp upper corner could be caused by the
01:12 - 01:15
cutting edge of the plate and the racket lower corner
01:15 - 01:18
could be caused by the non cutting cutting edge.
01:18 - 01:21
Could be caused by the non county edge.
01:22 - 01:25
This means the knife was upside down when stabbed,
01:29 - 01:32
the sharp upper corner could be caused by the cutting edge of the blade
01:32 - 01:36
and the ragged lower edge could be caused by the non cutting edge.
01:36 - 01:38
This means the knife was upside down when
01:38 - 01:41
snapping the abdomen with the palm facing upwards.
01:43 - 01:44
Secondly,
01:44 - 01:45
the
01:46 - 01:46
secondly,
01:46 - 01:50
the autopsy report description for injury four faced this
01:51 - 01:52
secondly,
01:52 - 01:55
the autopsy report description for injury four
01:55 - 01:57
fits the description for the sharp plate.
01:58 - 02:00
As the blades with decreased decreases
02:01 - 02:03
as the blades with decreases
02:04 - 02:05
decreases
02:05 - 02:08
as the blades with decreases at the sharp edge.
02:09 - 02:11
The sharp edge could not cut as deep into the person's
02:11 - 02:14
body tissue when the knife is parallel to the body.
02:15 - 02:19
Therefore the sharp edge could be the cause of the 1.4.
02:20 - 02:21
Therefore
02:21 - 02:24
the sharp edge could be the cause of the 1.5 long.
02:25 - 02:31
Therefore the sharp edge could be the cost of the 1.5cm long superficial tale
02:31 - 02:35
suggesting the curved region of the knife was about 1.5 cm.
02:36 - 02:39
This aligns with the picture of the sharp knife presented.
02:41 - 02:43
The second knife retrieved was a
02:45 - 02:48
The second night retrieved was a 40 cm
02:48 - 02:51
long melon knife of the brand name Shan Xinjiang
02:53 - 02:55
of the brand name Shan Xinjiang.
02:55 - 02:59
A DNA profile from an unknown source was found on the handle.
03:00 - 03:02
But as the knife was found in Pizzas sink,
03:02 - 03:07
this evidence was not useful as the handle could be contaminated after the attack.
03:08 - 03:13
The height of the knife was approximately 3.6 cm, judging from the images.
03:14 - 03:18
The knife appears to have a sharp edge on both the top and the bottom
03:18 - 03:22
and the trailing or ending edge of the knife is flat and not pointed.
03:22 - 03:23
However,
03:23 - 03:27
the shape of the blade does not immediately suggest any responsible injuries.
