A forensic pathologist said yesterday that Phyllis Edghill died from asphyxia caused by plastic bag suffocation.
Dr Shubhakar Karra Paul was testifying in the trial of Royale Achim Juwan Trotman, No. 6 Gall Hill Terrace, St John, who is accused of murdering his next-door neighbour, 74-year-old Edghill, sometime between November 28 and December 1, 2021.
He has pleaded not guilty. The case, which began last Wednesday, is being heard by a jury of ten women and two men, with Justice Elwood Watts presiding, in Supreme Court No. 2A.
