Jury hears disturbing details about injuries to the 13-year-old victim.
A forensic pathologist testifying at the murder trial of Ibrahim Ali didn’t get a chance to answer whether he thought injuries to the 13-year-old victim’s vagina would have caused pain.
Ali is accused of first-degree murder in the death of the girl, whose body was found in Burnaby’s Central Park at 1:14 a.m. on July 19, 2017, less than two hours after her family reported her missing.'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.
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.”‘It’s not something that could be done accidentally’ Morin also explained why he believed the girl had been strangled. The subsequent build-up of pressure in the brain causes tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin to burst — petechiae.
