DR. NEHAUL SINGH who had performed the post-mortem on nine-year-old schoolgirl Sade Stoby, who was allegedly raped and murdered, used pictures of the victim in testifying about his findings.

And another medical expert in medicine, Dr. Mohan Persaud, who had examined the two accused at the invitation of the police told Justice Navindra Singh and the jury about injuries he found on the accused. However, the medical doctor noted that some of the injuries could have been either self-inflicted, received during forced sexual intercourse or the result of masturbation.
Dr. Singh found that Sade’s body was bloated, she had haemorrhage, bleeding to the front of her head, to the muscle at the back of her neck and to the muscle in the middle of her chest between the fifth and sixth ribs.
Dr. Singh also found black mud in her trachea and bronchi while her stomach was filled with dark black mud. There was blood in her vagina and her hymen was recently ruptured and her intestines were protruding through her anus.
Dr. Singh formed the opinion that there was evidence of blunt trauma to Sade’s head at least four times while the bruising of the vagina indicated sexual activity just before death.
He gave the cause of death as asphyxiation due to submersion, compounded by blunt force trauma.
The prosecution’s case is that nine-year-old Sade Stoby was raped and murdered during the course or furtherance of a felony-rape.
The two men accused of committing the crime are Jevon Wharton and Charles Colyn Cush.
The other medical expert, Dr. Mohan Persaud, testified about examining Jevon Wharton in the presence of Detective Constable Gomes. He said that the uncircumcised penis of Wharton revealed scratches and bruises, but no discharge.
Dr. Persaud said that he also examined the genital organs of the accused Cush and also did a body examination. According to him, he found multiple abrasions to the head of Cush’s penis.
The hearing is continuing before Justice Navindra Singh and a mixed jury.
Mrs Judith Mursalin, in association with Mr. Lloyd Mark Conway, is prosecuting.
Mr. Raymond Persaud and Mr. George Thomas are defending.
